Valentine’s Day arrives every February with a loud message that romance is the center of happiness.

The holidays can quietly intensify feelings of loneliness.

In recent years, Japanese media have amplified concerns about a supposed rise in asexuality and a decline in romantic engagement among the nation’s youth.

A common misconception about asexuality is that it precludes any form of sexual activity, including masturbation.

For many asexual individuals, the decision to undergo sterilization – such as a tubal ligation for women or a vasectomy for men – is a deeply personal and often complex one.

Conversion therapy, also known as sexual orientation change efforts, is a pseudoscientific practice aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.

While asexual individuals do not experience sexual attraction, they can still experience other forms of attraction, including romantic attraction.

While it might seem counterintuitive, asexuality and sex work aren't mutually exclusive.
