Description Winner, Sexuality, 6th Annual Beverly Hills Book Awards Are you in a sexless marriage or relationship with a partner who may be a low-interest asexual? Praised by leading sexuality experts, this self-help memoir from the sexual partner's perspective is a first.
Around one percent of the population--millions worldwide--may be asexual.
Asexuals, with some exceptions, do not experience sexual attraction.
Asexuality remains the invisible orientation, largely unknown and misunderstood.
While some asexuals enjoy sex, a large majority do not.
For those who do not, relationships with sexually motivated people can be challenging.

This can lead to frustration and confusion.
Blaming helps no one.
