> 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.
