<p><span>In this episode of B4USwipe, Dr. Lauren and Dr. Kris talk about the connection between Relationship Anarchy and asexuality (experiencing little to no sexual attraction) and/or aromanticism (experiencing little to no romantic attraction). We bust some stigma while advocating for more freedom to form the kinds of relationships we want. </span></p><p><span>Episode highlights include: Dr. Kris’ identity crisis, “consummating” marriage, queerplatonic relationships, “bumping uglies,” a brief foray into our critiques of the prison industrial complex, and, yet again, we return to our wish to radically transform K-12 sexuality education. We also fantasize about a conversation between Andie Nordgren and Angela Chen — SWOON.</span></p><p><span>If you want to go beyond the surface we barely scratched, check out these resources:</span></p><p>Asexual Visibility and Education Network: <a href="https://asexuality.org/" rel="nofollow">https://asexuality.org/</a> </p><p>Angela Chen’s book, <span>Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex </span> <a href="https://www.angelachen.org/ace" rel="nofollow">https://www.angelachen.org/ace</a> </p>
