And so I love anything that shows these conversations because we need to start normalizing them.
How was I supposed to know a person's boundaries? How would they know mine? Did couples magically just know the second they kissed? It was all quite confusing. Seeing only this kind of relationship stressed me out. I grew up reading stories or watching shows where people would fall in love and almost immediately fall into bed with each other. I think these conversations are important for everyone to have, and not just those of us in queer relationships. They also talk a lot about the fact that every asexual person is comfortable with different things. Gay, geek, a librarian, socially awkward, a nervous rambler. They talk a lot about what they're comfortable with and what they're not. Jordan ONeill isnt a fan of labels, considering he has a few. Both Jordan and Hennessy are ace and they meet, officially, at an ace support group. Jordan is right back where he was before he met Hennessy, confused and alone, and miserable.This book dealt with some really important conversations as well. He pushes Hennessy away because that’s what Jordan does and Hennessy is confused about what actually happened with their relationship.
Jordan thinks that because his body got turned on by Hennessy, that means he can’t possibly be asexual. He gets hard and it really freaks him out. One night, as they’re working out what these limits are, Jordan and Hennessy are on the couch making out (yes, folks, asexual people CAN kiss) and Jordan is overcome with his desire for Hennessy. Neither of them want sex, that is clear, but both of them seem very interested in physical affection and all the other stuff that sits on the periphery of a sexual relationship. Upside Down follows these two adorable boys as they navigate a new relationship together and how their individual asexuality plays out in their physical relationship. Gay, geek, a librarian, socially awkward, a nervous rambler, an introvert, an outsider. Jordan O'Neill isn't a fan of labels, considering he has a few. After a couple of encounters on the bus, Hennessy asks Jordan out for coffee and Jordan almost can’t believe it’s happening. and the Meaning of Sex - Angela Chen, The Charm Offensive - Alison Cochrun, A Dark and Starless Forest - Sarah Hollowell, Upside Down - N.R. Upside Down by N R Walker - book cover, description. Hennessy is some kind of computer genius, he likes to read, and he likes Jordan. Headphones Guy, also gay and definitely asexual, introduces himself as Hennessy.
