Hey, Ella
Thank you so much for the article!!!!! It was so kind of you!
We don't have AVEN in Brazil. All the asexual communities are in ORKUT. So,
ORKUT my first research field. My objective is to study young asexual
feminilities and masculinities, under gender relations perspective. I should
start the interviews next semester. I'm especially interested on young
asexuals' experiences with relationships and sexual education, as well as
their journey toward self-identification as asexuals.
Jane Russo is a Brazilian psychologist/anthropologist and researcher,
professor of the Social Medicine Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She
wrote an excellent book chapter about medicalization of sexuality, which
I'm reading right now. Is this Jane Russo you're referring to?
Thanks again for the article!

> Theoretical Issues in the Study of Asexuality
> Abstract
> Academic interest in asexual people is new and researchers are
> beginning to discuss how to proceed methodologically and
> conceptually with the study of asexuality. This article explores
> several of the theoretical issues related to the study of
> asexuality. Researchers have tended to treat asexuality either as a
> distinct sexual orientation or as a lack of sexual orientation.
> Difficulties arise when asexual participants are inconsistent in
> their self-identification as asexual. Distinguishing between sexual
> and romantic attraction resolves this confusion, while
> simultaneously calling into question conceptualizations of the
> asexual population as a single homogenous group. Arguments are
> considered in favor of exploring diversity within the asexual
> population, particularly with respect to gender and romantic
> orientation, proposing that the categorical constructs employed in
> (a)sexuality research be replaced with continuous ones. Furthermore,
> given the recently noted bias toward including
> only self-identified asexuals, as opposed to non-self-identified
> asexuals or ``potential-asexuals,´´ in research about asexuality,
> the nature and meaning of asexual self-identification are discussed.
> Particular attention is paid to the theoretical importance of
> acknowledging asexual self-identification or lack thereof in future
> research into asexuality. This article discusses what these current
> theoretical issues mean for the study of asexuality and sexuality
> more generally, including a brief consideration of ethical
> implications for research with asexual participants. Finally,
> directions for future research are suggested.
