This will be a 2 parter episode covering the stories submitted directly from the Asexual community on reddit. Part 2 of this episode will release on December 30th.
Also, Thanks to /r/Asexuality from reddit for all of their wonderful submissions to this episode!
Asexuality is a topic not often discussed in mainstream media. People within the community tend to find it difficult to fit in with people even among the LGBT community and such. Listen to real people deliver their statements about their lives, and how their lives are influenced from being Asexual. We will throw some misconceptions out the door and ask a few questions to the wonderful people who submitted their stories for the world to hear.
Submit your stories, anyone can submit a statement and people from all walks of like are encouraged to share their life experience with the world. Contact me at
