This list was first conceptualized for a first-year creative writing class designed to challenge writing majors in a variety of creative writing genres, mainly poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction.

This list is aimed for feminist or sexuality studies courses which deal with different academic approaches to understanding sexuality, and is assumed to be concomitant with discussing Gayle Rubin or Foucault. The guiding idea here is to expose students to asexual thought as it continues, and expands upon, existing social construction theories.

Primary sources are also included to highlight different intersections of identity and experience, and are particularly encouraged for Sociology or Counseling Psychology classes.
