He gave an answer “I am much happier with it than I thought I would be, because it is pretty personal things. I’m talking about my sexuality in a very public way, and this film shoved a really deep and personal moments about my relationships, on a special level that no other press has managed to reach before. It’s complicated a lot, but the way our society talking about intimacy is really sexualized, so this movie showed to us a great example of intimacy in my life that is not at all sexual things.
I also think, that is a very visibility tool for other people who was interested of asexuality. My community is trying to talking about things that are wrapped up in sex”.
