In this episode, Hannah is joined by Cody Daigle-Orians, an asexuality educator, writer, and creator of Ace Dad Advice. Cody talks about how to know if you’re asexual, the different identities under the asexual umbrella, and the difference between sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and lots of other kinds of attraction too. He and Hannah talk about Cody understanding he was asexual later in life at 42, how the language of asexuality helped him understand that he wasn’t broken, and how he felt like a bad gay person for not being connected to sex in the same way as other gay people around him when he was growing up. Finally Cody talks about his new book, I Am Ace, how ace and allosexual people can be in a relationship, and how understanding your sexuality is a journey so you should give yourself permission to ask a lot of questions and live your best life.

Cody’s book is available now!
