Sexual desire is considered a measure of intimacy, relationship quality, and personal fulfillment. But what happens when it's absent? When we don't feel like having sex, even though "everything is actually fine"? When "I'm tired" is just a way of saying something we can barely put our finger on? Even in her youth, Maria Popov never really felt like having sex with men and came across a word that described her feelings for the first time: asexuality. But what exactly does that mean? In "No Desire Club," the presenter talks about her first period, failed flirting attempts, exciting ear massages—and the relief of realizing: I'm not alone with all these feelings. This book is for you if you're wondering: Why is low sexual desire often seen as a problem? How do societal expectations influence our sex lives? Why do many people feel compelled to conform to certain norms? Do we all really have to be feminist sex goddesses? With wit and humor, Maria Popov debunks myths surrounding libido, relationships, and sexuality. She explains how desire works, why sexual diversity is more than just a matter of identity, and what happens when we stop viewing a lack of desire as a deficiency. 'No Desire Club' is an invitation to rethink desire—more tenderly, more honestly, more courageously. New product
