When I was in school, everyone reached a certain age where they became solely interested in discussing one topic: boys, girls, and sex. However, for me, my interests lay solely in comics.


Growing up, Rebecca assumed that sex was merely a frightening new phenomenon they would eventually grow into as they matured. However, once they left school, began working, and grew up, they began to wonder why they had no desire to engage in sexual activities with others.


In this courageous, hilarious, and empowering graphic memoir, we follow Rebecca as they navigate a culture obsessed with sex. From being bullied at school and struggling to fit in with friends, to forcing themselves into relationships and experiencing anxiety and OCD, they endure a series of challenges before ultimately understanding and embracing their asexual identity.


How to Be Ace offers unparalleled insight into asexuality and asexual relationships, highlighting the significance of learning to be happy and proud of who you are.
