I’d like to thank the great people at the Asexuality Visibility Network (www.asexuality.org) for sharing their views of and experiences with asexuality – one potential facet of Sherlock Holmes – with me. And a big thank you goes to David Jay, for letting me bug him with so many (awkwardly private) questions about the many shades of asexuality.
