Is Sex the Glue in Our Relationships? | Gaia Steinberg | TEDxShenkarCollege

Gaia discovered, at the age of sixteen, that they were asexual. Gaia is now a researcher on the subject of asexuality and lectures widely on the subject. In their talk Gaia discusses asexuality in the wider context of human relationships.

Gaia Steinberg is a queer activist and one of the leaders of the asexual community in Israel. Gaia’s work mainly consists of talks and workshops on sexuality and gender, with the belief that face-to-face conversations will bring about change. After discovering the asexual community at 16, Gaia was exposed to a new world that did not fit the romantic narrative told in movies. In their talk, Gaia will lead you through a journey of alternative relationships and untouched worlds of intimacy, bringing forth the messages the asexual discourse holds for relationships in general. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
