Have you met Sgt. Harold Tyler yet? He's quite the character. His teammates call him Dirty Harry, but out in the field, it's Eastwood, because in the heat of battle, Dirty Harry is just too much of a mouthful. Eastwood's reply? "That's what she said."

"I started crying. Bawling, really. A deep, primal, ugly wail. It was the first time I had cried that hard since I was first diagnosed. Contrary to my stoic instincts, crying didn’t make me feel weak or ashamed. It made me feel relieved." —Jonathan Gluck for Esquire

From "The Other Significant Others" by Rhaina Cohen. On sex, asexuality, and intimacy. #BookExcerpt #asexuality

Excerpts from the book The Other Significant Other by Rhaina Cohen: People who are asexual, also known as aces, are often made to feel that they’re broken. Angela Chen, the author of Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, writes that aces get the message that they’re “made in the shape of a human, but with faulty wiring and something lost, something fundamental to a good life.” A 2020 study of sexual minorities found that asexual respondents felt more stigma than queer men and women who aren’t asexual. People who used to be sexually active are similarly treated as if there’s something wrong with them. Ubiquitous advertisements for drugs like Viagra pressure men to maintain virility through old age. These judgments and pressures are examples of compulsory sexuality at work, a set of assumptions that promote the idea that sex is a crucial part of a “normal,” satisfying life and that not wanting sex is unnatural. Consider it a link in the same chain as compulsory coupledom.While sex can foster these forms of meaning and growth, it doesn’t for all people at all times. Sex isn’t always a profound union. Therapists point out that some sexual encounters, whether casual or within a committed relationship, may be more about producing pleasure than “making love”—let alone making life. Sex may be one medium for intimacy, but it’s certainly not the only one, or the ultimate one. This is what I heard from a wide range of people I interviewed—people who are in happy romantic relationships; single people; religious Christians; polyamorous people; people who don’t enjoy sex; people who enjoy sex so much that they decided to become porn actors. John Stoltenberg, who had a category-defying relationship with the writer Andrea Dworkin, put it best when he quipped: “Orgasm is deeply centering. It’s also pretty ephemeral. It comes and it goes.” Alongside the dominant cultural message that conflates sex and intimacy, there’s at least one tacit acknowledgment that they can be distinct. The concept of an “emotional affair” suggests that a nonsexual connection can become so close that it rivals, even threatens, a sexual relationship. Just as partners can differ in how much sex they want, they can also differ in their appetites for intimacy, sometimes seeking it outside their exclusive romantic relationship. The existence of the term “emotional affair” highlights how different people meet core needs from different places.
