I've been called "innocent" more times than I can count... even if I am no longer quite so naive. I don't curse and my talk about sex is extremely limited. When I was in ninth grade, my older classmates would often talk about how they had to "preserve my innocence," quite possibly because I was the only person in that small school who didn't drink, smoke, do drugs, curse, have sex, etc. Ironically, this didn't stop them from talking about all those things around me anyway. XD I was younger than my peers in college, and while most of them didn't care about bringing up any subject they pleased in front of me, there was one guy who would turn to me and apologize every time he cursed in my presence, even though I had told him that I didn't care if others cursed. I was told by his friends that he feared he would "teach" me a new curse word on accident. XD

Nowadays, most people around me know that I'm not terribly comfortable with such topics, and some just talk about them anyway and I put up with it, since the internet has forced me to grow used to such things. My family, however, is pretty sensitive to where my "line" is and usually doesn't cross it.

Very interesting topic!

Got to plead guilty to using far too many sexual expletives here, although the "C" I will almost never use. I'm also very sharp with smutty double-entendres and enjoy a rude joke. I'll give as much as I take. I would feel uncomfortable if people who know my orientation moderated their behaviour just because I am present.

It doesn't bother me to talk about sex, and I'm knowledgable, just not experienced at all (researched the fuck outta sex history/theory/practices trying to understand it as a teen) I just find it really...boring, after a while. Like, really dull. And I suppose I often end up chatting about gender and queer theory. *shrug*

I've frequently been called "innocent" as a result (which is funny when I then reveal I high degree of knowledge about something really kinky.... Though, the academic way I talk probably still makes me seem "innocent" ah well). I also curse a fair amount, but only when I'm mad.

My bigger problem is mushy romantic stuff. I'm very practical about romantic things (my love of/desire to recieve flowers is like my only "traditional" romantic thing). When people go gaga and call eachother "baby" and stuff? *shudder*. I get that it's their thing, it still just seems really really weird and gross to me.

In real life I seem fairly innocent. I'm quiet and look far younger than I actually am, so a lot of people assume I'm innocent. I also don't swear much out loud because it was always something I felt weird about doing around my parents and I've always been pretty introverted, so most of my time was spent at home. It's just not something I did much so it feels unnatural. Online I'm pretty open about everything and have no issues talking about porn, sex, kinks and fetishes, etc. and I tend to swear more, so no one would ever mistake me for being innocent. I've actually had some friends be pretty shocked at the difference between talking to me irl and talking to me online since I feel more comfortable communicating that way. And then they're even more surprised when I tell them I'm not interested in having sex.

Other - I object to the use of the word innocent to describe a lack of sexual things. It's very anti-sexual and needs to be removed from common language.
