Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture

"Refusing Compulsory Sexuality" by Sherronda J. Brown is a pioneering exploration of Black asexuality and its intersection with anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. This book challenges the pervasive notion that everyone must desire sex, revealing the unique struggles of asexual people, particularly within Black communities. With insightful chapters on desire, f*ckability, and refusal, Brown demands visibility for asexual identities and affirms that asexuality is a valid and important part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
