To Each Their Own Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 24 minutes ago, SuzSays said: Once, when I was in college, my roommate and her boyfriend were in the shower together when another one of my male friends came over to our apartment. When my roommate got out of the shower and dressed, and she and her boyfriend were leaving, my friend made a joke to her - something along the lines of "Don't be surprised if Suz and I are in the shower together when you get back," to which I inadvertently replied "Ew" as a first instinct. Apparently, replying "ew" at the thought of sex is offensive to heterosexuals. *shrug* Really? You’re not supposed to say “ew”? That explains a lot! Thank you. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was probably offended because you said ew to sex with him. Because everyone wants to have sex, right? And since you said ew, it has to be because the idea of having sex with him in particular is what is offensive. At least in his mind. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tampons were never an option so I never really thought about it. They tried to show the sex Ed video but ignored it partially cuz they separated boys from girls and that made me mad and I think I hated to see what made us different?That was in elementary (why scar us so young). And I’m middle school we were in groups and everyone else labeled the paper of the various parts. I figured out a lot through bio books I think I may have wanted to go to the boy's puberty talk in 5th grade. I remember asking this one boy afterwards if their talk involved hairy armpits. Silly me, I didn't even think about the "most important" one. Of all the testosterone puberty things, I only thought about growing hair in armpits. 16 hours ago, Zash said: It's probably not that you saying ew to sex is what offended him.

I was asked, "what if a guy gives you some?" Over the years, I've had answers like straight up say I don't want them or take it into the house and forget about it. That is so aro of me, haha. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jetsun Milarepa Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Haha! Maybe the general population is catching on..... I had an incredibly ace week! It was only at the end of it that I realised I was oblivious! My new team manager is a man, very nice and helpful person, so I made sure to be polite to him and say hello, ask loads of advice, thanks, etc. .....little realising that he probably thought I was making some kind of overture. When he started to blank me on Thursday, for no apparent reason, I kinda wondered why.....little does he know, I'm just being polite! When did people get so defensive....and, heck, I'm almost 60!

There's a new neighbour moved into my road. Split from her husband, and now living with her two teenage daughters and their dog. I'm probably 15 years older, and we ended up chatting and having a cuppa recently. She seems really lively and interesting and would make a good friend. But how to develop a friendship without appearing to want to date her? She has a new boyfriend too, she tells me, and I'm sure he doesn't want me hanging around his new girlfriend. Probably an opportunity for a new friend lost. Shame. I should probably have posted this in Asexual Problems, but heh, this is close enough. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Warsaw Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Things better then sex objectively some told to me by heterosexuals. 1. Doing 150+ on a motorcycle. 2. Skydiving. 3. Shooting a dual .50 BMG machine gun mount. 4. Blowing things up (for the government.) 5. Shooting small arms. 6. Cannabis. A very short list of the top things that are better than sex.

Dodoa Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I had one a while ago when I was out with my best friend. He knows I'm ace and he usually subtly warns me before talking about his sex life so I can stop him if I want to, as I'm usually perfectly happy chatting about sex as long as it has nothing to do with me, but some days I'd rather just forget it exists at all. So this time the phrase he used was: "I know, you won't be as excited about this as I am, but..." And I understood what he meant and was primed to think about sex related things. Then he told me about how in his new flat the ceiling light in the bedroom was fixed to a weight bearing beam with a pretty sturdy hook. Despite having been told that the reason this was exciting had to do with sex I first thought of hanging up some aerial acrobatics gear (like a trapeze and aerial silks), then of a really heavy chandelier, before realising what he meant. Spoiler He meant you could use it for a sex swing or something along those lines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adamjonuk Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My best one is when someone told me when I was a bit younger that he had sex and caused his partner to put a bun in the oven - I had never heard the term before and was baffled how he had forced his girlfriend to do baking and what it had to do with sex ??? But then being Autistic as well I tend to take things literally anyway - The GP soon learnt not to say " Take a seat" when I went in, I always asked him to where and why ? 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hermit Advocate Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Had a customer come into my work yesterday and explain to me that older me were better lovers because "we know how to touch a woman" and "we know what they really want, both in bed and as a partner." It was very awkward and all I could do was stand there and go mmhhhm. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
