This groundbreaking film introduces viewers to men and women who have never experienced sexual attraction. In 2000, David Jay came out as asexual to his parents, a quality he accepts about himself. And David is not alone; studies show that as much as one percent of the population may be asexual. Living in a society obsessed with sex, how does one deal with life as an outsider? In (A)Sexual, people describe firsthand the challenges of acknowledging to themselves—and others—their asexuality.
These asexual individuals form a community and regularly assert their presence. Their personal stories show the difficulties and complexities of being “out of step” with the rest of society and the peace of mind gained by connecting with one another.
Intimate interviews, vérité footage, and animation help viewers understand this little known aspect of sexual identity. (A)Sexual is a “must see” in courses on sexuality and gender.
