Calling partnered asexual (including demi-, gray-, or other ace-spec) folks! 💜 🍰 We’re recruiting for a study on asexuality and romantic relationships (broadly defined). Take part or share with your network! Word of mouth is super helpful. 👉 tinyurl.com/acerelations... Open to any nationality

Out now in SPPS 🎉 So happy to share my first publication from my postdoc. This project developed from a student intern's fascinating question: do asexual people benefit from romantic relationships? We tested it. Together with @dsquared.bsky.social, Manuela Barreto, Pamela Qualter, & Jasmine Crosbie
