Asexual Explorations
Asexual Explorations exists to provide promote the academic study of asexuality. It is written to be useful to a wide variety of people interested in the subject. It is primarily designed for three audiences: academics interested in doing research on asexuality, students interesting in writing papers on asexuality, and people wanting a more in-dept understanding of asexuality.
History
Asexual Explorations was created as an outgrowth of (what is now named) Asexual Explorations Blog, written by mandrewliter. The site was announced to the public in February 2009, and had a bibliography of academic work on asexuality, [url=http://www.asexualexplorations.net/home/future_research.html suggestions for research topics], and a page on defining asexuality. One aim of the site was to preserve in static content form some series on Asexual Explorations Blog on the subject of defining asexuality that he thought were worth preserving. Also, by putting an actual name (A.C. Hinderliter) to these, he felt that they would seem more credible for others to cite.
Originally, the site hosted an article called "Methodological Issues for Studying Asexuality" which dealt with issues of relevance for studying asexuality, but that Hinderliter did not want to post on his blog as he thought most readers would find it uninteresting. This article was later taken down, and a shortened version was submitted as a letter to the editor in the journal Archives of Sexual Behvaior.
