Marco - Proprietor of Doom

Watching a movie with my father, and a sex seen comes on. Half way through I say "That's not how you sit on a chair?!"

I was just talking with my rather prudish friend, and he was talking about how he was expecting a big package in the mail. And I started asking him about his big package- how big it was, and how I hoped it wasn't too heavy that it would be difficult for him to carry back to his dorm, and all sorts of stuff along those lines. After making several remarks like that (if he noticed anything suggestive about what I was saying, he didn't mention it, bless him), I finally noticed that the last several lines of conversation could be seen as incredibly sexual ("big package" and all that), rather than being about some books he ordered off of Amazon.

^^ ah yes I've gone on and on, rambling about big packages with people snickering and hours later they tell me how silly I was being... :P

Here's one of mine: I was watching X-Men with a group of friends, and Wolverine was running around in the basement of Xavier's school without a shirt. I went, "For crying out loud, Wolverine, get a shirt on." My friends chorused, "No, Wolverine, keep your shirt off!"

Heroes Season Three Chapter Nine spoilers:

That bit where Elle and Sylar were having the big romantic scene and she zaps him with lightning. His shirt completely burnt away into nothing, so he did the rest of the scene topless, but his jeans were completely intact.

I have a theory that the most profitable use for Elle's powers is to burn the shirts off handsome young Petrellis. <_<

My god, I've missed spoilers. I can't wait until the Dr. Who thread comes back.

I am sooooooooo tempted to read those D:

but I won't.

Also, I was recently dragged into seeing Twilight with my two female cousins, my aunt, and my mom. They (including my mom!) spent the rest of the day drooling over Edward Cullen and the hot, sexy vampires. :mellow: I had absolutely nothing to contribute to the conversation (to the relief of my brother, who was also sick of hearing them talk about him). It's not that I didn't like the movie. I thought it was good- or at least I cut it some slack since it was an adaptation/digest of a much lengthier book containing much more plot explanation and character development. My expectations going in were somewhat low. But my ONLY real opinion about the character of Edward Cullen is "his hair looks kind of funny." He's no more aesthetically attractive to me than most normal people. Apparently, this is... unusual.
Ugh, Edward Cullen. I used to like Twilight before all the hype made me realize how stupid it was, and I was ticked off when Robert Pattinson was cast as Edward. Edward is supposed to be incredibly handsome, and Robert Pattinson is just not that good-looking. How is having your hair look like you just fell out of bed attractive?

Thank you BOTH!! My goodness...I cannot begin to talk about how much that book annoys me. (I've only read the first one...so far...and the only reason I wish to continue is to have plenty of ammo to shoot down hype about it.) The book doesn't contain a whole lot more plot OR character development. Some, yes. But not all that much. Edward is, however, supposed to be "godlike" in the looks department. Robert Pattinson? NOT good-looking, at all. *peeved about the movie on so many levels more than the book*

Anyway....

A semi-recent ace moment of mine happened a few weeks ago. Just to set the story up: I named my iPod Roger (because iTunes will ask you to name your iPod the first time you plug it in, and after a while I got bored of its name just saying it's my iPod, so I gave it the name of one of my favorite characters from Rent). It's an ooold iPod (4th gen., doesn't even have color), and twice within the past two years, it's gone into what I call a "coma". (It gives me the "face of doom" which is a sad face with X's for eyes.) When I took it to the Apple Store, they told me I could either (1) get an out-of-warranty repair (which would cost as much as option #2); (2) buy a new iPod; or (3) slam the iPod onto a solid surface, because the internal hard drive connects at the bottom and it's possible that mine just got loose.

So what did I do? Took the cheapest way out. Recently it happened again, so I eventually decided to make use of the solid tables we have at school, where my friends and I hang out. However, I was telling this to a friend of mine and since I sometimes refer to my iPod by name or with "he" instead of just "it"...the convo turned against me.

Me: Roger went into a coma again. =(

Her: O-kay....

Me: *explains about the "face of doom" and what the Apple guy said*

Her: I see...so what'd you do about it?

Me: I took Roger and *makes slamming motion as if hitting iPod on table* banged him on a table.

Her: ........*raises eyebrows*.......Wait, what...?

Me: What? *a few seconds later* ...........YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!! I slammed him on a table!!

Her: ...You just made it sound worse!!!

Me: GAHH, only because you're thinking that way!

...Yeah. That's been happening to me a little too often lately. >_<

I also was having a conversation with a friend about building Gundams (which I'm very new to) and the kit that I had gave me so much trouble when it came to putting in the little screws, so I always had to have him do that part for me. At one point, I started bagging on him for having an obsession with Gundam-building yet he couldn't operate the school's microwave, so then he retorted by saying that I could use the microwave yet couldn't screw on the screws to my Gundam myself. Then I said "well, I can't screw for beans!!" ...Then I stood there, glaring at him as he snickered away at me.

Me: ...Dammit, you know what I mean.

Him: *in the midst of holding back total laughter* Yeah, but it was still great!

I actually fall into the category of "asexual with a hopelessly dirty mind," so I tend to get (and participate in) a lot of sexual innuendo, etc. But reading this thread has brought back a few memories.

-In fourth grade, one of my friends went on a mini-rant about how children our age just thought that sex meant a man lies on top of a woman, and how that annoyed her, etc...I just laughed and went along with it, but I happened to be one of those children (worse, even - I didn't even know what sex *meant*). Later I scrambled for a dictionary in hopes that it would explain to me what sex really was. (It didn't...I remained hopelessly confused as to what it meant).

-In fifth grade, one of my friends was wearing a t-shirt that said "Virgin" on it (I think it was the logo of Virgin records or something). I knew that my sister's astrological sign (Virgo) was sometimes referred to as "the Virgin" so, thinking I was asking my friend about her astrological sign, I said, "Are you a virgin?" She turned bright red and said, "Do you know what that means?" and I just laughed and said I did, even though I had no idea what I did wrong.

-Somewhat related: After I'd gotten my period, I was reading the FAQs on a box of tampons, and one asked if a woman could use tampons if she was a virgin. I assumed that a virgin was someone whose genitals were structured differently than other women (like, an intersexed person or something).

-In eighth grade, one of my friends confessed to me that sometimes she would look at couples walking down the street and wonder how they had sex, especially (in her words) "if the girl is really fat or something." I paused and realized that I wouldn't even know how to picture two people having sex.

-Freshman year of high school, during band practice, one of the boys in my section mentioned he was thinking of joining the drum line. Our section leader responded that, in the drumline, he could bang anything he wanted (not meaning it in a sexual way). The entire section cracked up, while I was left to wonder what was so funny.

-Throughout high school, I was always shocked to hear that my peers were having sex. I remember one morning in class I overheard a girl asking her friend about the symptoms of morning sickness. I wondered to myself, "Why would she need to know?..." Another time, one of my friends said that she heard another girl's boyfriend announce in class that he had "become a man," and I told her to stop spreading rumors (even though it turned out to be true). I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea that a girl my age would be having sex.

-Once I was talking to my sister online, and she sent me a picture of a guy she thought was really cute, and my first response was, "I love the curve of his jawline." She laughed at me. Heartily.

-Then I came to college and learned everything I wanted to know (and many things I didn't) about sex, mostly through fanfiction. So now, I am the first one out of my friends to initiate any kind of sexual innuendo or double entendre. Someone mentioned the game "Dirty Minds." I would lose, horribly XD But I do kick ass at "Never Have I Ever" ;D

I refuse to talk about my cat and his sleeping anymore. <_<

Me: My cat likes to sleep with me at night. He seems to like it best between my legs. As he's so large and hot, it can be rather uncomfortable for me.

Friend: :blink: Umm... Yeah... That's nice. *laughs hard*

Me: ...? I don't get... Oh. Damn you. Must you do that with everything? D:

That reminds me of a semi-ace moment I had a couple days ago. Two of my friends and I were watching a movie, and one of them is, like me, an asexual cuddle slut. We were snuggling in a sort of side-by-side position with me wrapping my arms around her waist, but that got uncomfortable, so...well, we'd figured out that the most comfortable cuddle position involved me sitting right in front of her with my head on her chest and her legs on either side of me. So when we decided to switch to that particular cuddle position, she asked me, "Do you want to do the between-the-legs thing?" and, knowing exactly what she meant, I said "Sure." Then I realized that we had probably just sounded really awkward to our sexual friend, but luckily she wasn't listening!

This is my most ace moment ever, as well as my nerdiest.

Me: We've been studying DNA replication in AP Bio. It makes me so happy; genetics is the shit.

Friend: If I were an enzyme, I'd be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.

Me: I'd be topoisomerase because it has a cool name!

*friend and surrounding friends snicker for a while*

Me: Wait...that was sexual, wasn't it?

wow i had to read that twice lol genes .... jeans.... lol

its sad ... lol

The last day of school before exams, I was in the caf, which was cleared out except for a few people studying. Suddenly, a girl from my photography class called over and asked what asexuality was. I kind of sat there going "umm" for minute while trying to figure out how she knew I was ace before I realized she was talking about biology class. Oops.

Hahaha, that's amazing.

P.S. I LOVE your avatar.

Reminds me of when I was in bio last semester. One segment we obviously go over asexual reproduction and we had lab to go along with class with a separate lab book. Well the title of one segment had the word asexual in it, so I scribbled out the 'a' and 'l' and turned the 'u' into a 'y' to make it 'asexy' while my lab partners looked on with confused and slightly worried expressions. At the time, I had completely forgot that we were going to have to turn in our lab books to our professor :unsure: I wonder if he noticed...

Thank you!

I haven't had bio since before I figured out I was asexy, so I completely forgot about using the word asexual in its original context. And that's awesome what you did to the lab book, by the way. Next time I have bio I definitely need to do that.

I participated in a fairly asexual conversation a few days ago. I had my arms wrapped around one of my friends who was sitting at a table in the dining hall (she's an asexual cuddle slut, like me) and one of my other friends walked by and yelled at me, "CUDDLE WHORE!"

This is what happened after I sat down:

Me: You know, I prefer the term cuddle slut, not cuddle whore.

Friend I was hugging: Really? Why?

Me: I'm not a whore. I don't get paid.

Friend I was hugging: I could pay you.

Me: That won't be necessary, dear--I do it for love, not money.

*we laugh*

Imagine if someone had just overheard the last three lines, though...:P

Oh, I had a (sort of) asexy moment the other week.

I had just come out to my (v. sexual lesbian) friend as gay, via IM. I had mentioned asexuality actually, but just that I thought I was, but now I've given up figuring it out. Anyway, the conversation had moved on a bit, and she said she wouldn't like to see me angry. I asked why, I can't remember her exact reply but it obviously was inadequate because I then said "No, I'm genuinely curious, what do you think I would be like?". She took this rather differently from how I meant it. :rolleyes: I reacted with mock-shock (I had actually realised how she would take it seconds after sending the message). Fortunately it was too late for actual flirting to occur, and she knows me well enough to know that's not what I meant.

I may have just had an asexual moment there, maybe someone can help me understand what I'm missing.

Someone I know was talking to her child and the child asked does mommy have a penis. And mommy said no. And the child said yes you do, it's in your mouth.

Okay now several people fell over themselves saying this is the funniest thing ever and that they peed themselves laughing. Ummm...

First I figured, oh, the child must think the tongue is like a penis... And that wasn't funny at all. Then it occurred to me that even though whatever the child meant, it made it unintentionally sound like the mother sometimes has a penis in her mouth, but it's someone else's? And that was a little funny.

But it still seems like I'm missing something? Anyone care to explain why this is a hilarious comment?

Thanks!

Probably the people laughing were thinking that the kid saw his/her mom giving oral sex to the kid's dad. Or maybe they just found the idea of a kid inadvertently talking about oral sex funny.

When I was given "the talk", after about 30 seconds to 1 minute of conversation I left the room screaming "THATS TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR ME!!!!".

When I was around 12 years old at summer camp, one of our counselors bought the cabin a porn magazine, while everyone was sitting patiently, waiting for their turn to use it, I was reading Archie comics

For my job, I work in the homes of the elderly/disabled. One dear lady, when told that I had never married, said, "I'm sorry." I merely told her that I wasn't sorry without explaining much other than a marriage would not have survived me.

Possible TMI!!

I'm a member of another forum that is a support site for people with eating disorders. There's one sub-forum there for discussing relationships, and one fellow member posted a topic [here comes the TMI] asking how other bulimics dealt with giving oral sex... as in, uh, well, people with said disorder tend to have a rather sensitive gag reflex. People were posting their own experiences of *ahem* pleasuring someone else that way. I read the whole thread and thought I was going to throw up right then... for reasons having nothing to do with my disorder. Oral is the most disgusting form of sex ever, in my mind...

I have a very insensitive gag reflex (don't know why, just do) and I've been warned not to mention that--apparently people will think that fact indicates that I'm experienced at giving oral sex. *squick* *seizure*

This site refused to load half the day, but now I've had more time to think about my ace moments. Though I'm demi, I've had them. One difference to you is that the Finnish language doesn't have so many words that have both sexual and other meaning, so that makes my life a bit easier.

This happened a bit ovet a year ago when I was in high school. It was time for the annual science competitions, and our physics teacher (heterosexual female) was putting some advertisement posters on the walls. There was one for each subject, and the pictures were about some sports which had something to do with the science in question. For math, there was a girl doing archery, aiming at her goal (as math is very exact and precise). I somehow admired her concentration and determination, the picture told me even girls can pursue their goals in the world of math. In the chemistry poster, there was a young woman swimming (in water, H2O). The picture was taken from above and I found it very beautiful. Then there was the physics poster, with a male figure and the sport was weightlifting. A very, very muscular man. I could almost smell the sweat and testosterone. Yuk! I wouln't want to be anywhere near such a man. Physics is the most male-dominated science of these three, and I was angry as in my opinion, the poster was only attracting boys to try the physics competition. With these thoughts in mind, I opened my mouth.

Me: Looks like they don't even try to get girls to the physics competition.

Teacher: How come?

Me: Well, that poster...

Teacher: But that poster is supposed to attract particularly girls!

Me: How come?

Teacher (probably thinking I'm gay): He's so hot! I mean, those muscles... All female teachers wanted to see it in the teachers' room. And the cleaners are fighting about who will get it after the competition...

Me (wondering if I'm gay after all): Oh, really? I don't find it so nice.

I never heard so many sexual stories, probably as I looked so godly and pure that people didn't even dare to curse when I was around. And I never fit in anyway, so I was dedicated to my studies and graduated from high school with the best grades in town. I preferred and still prefer to eat alone, as I have pretty extensive allergies and my food is always different from others, and I'm tierd of explaining that. All my friends are Christian, and in those circles nobody ever says anything sexual. Ever.

There have been other moments too. Like in sex ed class. I thought I was explaining and justifying my religious convictions about sex. In fact I was explaining my sexual orientation, though I didn't know that then. I just didn't understand why anyone would wish to have sex outside marriage... Also one common counterargument to us true-love-waits people is "what if you never find the one you want to marry, will you have to be celibate your whole life then?". I never get it, I mean my instinct never gets it. If you want to have sex with someone, you have known them for a long time and can just as well get married, right? And you never fancy having sex if you haven't met thet particular person yet? Right? ... What, isn't it so? The reason I found out I'm different is exactly this. I could happily be celibate for the rest of my life and never feel like something necessary is missing. When I read that other Christian singles have real problems with this and some even have one-night stands in spite of their beliefs, they just can't help it... then I realised I'm sexually different.

I could go on writing these for hours... But just one last thought. This happened when I was about 14 and in junior high. There was a hole in my desk. I was bored. I had a pencil in my hand. I started to move the pencil in the hole. "MissBiochemistry is screwing the desk!!!" And lots of laughing. I hadn't even thought of that! I should have known then what I am...

Well of course there's the classic from back in high school friend:"So what boy do you have a crush on?"

Me: I don't like any boys

Them:Oh! Girls

Me:Squick!

I'm a rez assistant at university and I was patroling during a party a bunch of people were in the hall drinking which is against the rules.

Me: Hey guys, you need to go in to a room, you can't drink in the hall

Guy: Oh it's ok I'm just getting every one together so we can go to the bar, want to come? I'll buy you a round."

Me:Sorry, I'm on duty (thinking I don't really like the bar anyhow)

Guy: When does your shift end?

Me:at the same time the bar closes. (which is exactly the time I get off duty)

Guy's friend (as I'm walking away)COLD!

:unsure: woops, I guess I hurt his feelings. I was just trying to give him the relevent information! Ace moment.

When I was around 12 years old at summer camp, one of our counselors bought the cabin a porn magazine, while everyone was sitting patiently, waiting for their turn to use it, I was reading Archie comics

That reminds me of when I was 11 and someone brought a porn magazine to school. Even the kids who were enthusiastically teaching themselves to french kiss thought seeing the full frontal nudity of an "old lady" (like, in her 20s! Ah, childhood) was either funny or creepy, but no one could stop looking at it. The guys all wanted to impress the girls that they were manly and could look at porn and the girls didn't want to be left out because damn it! If their crushes were checking out the naked lady, they would too! Everyone was making all these sex jokes whenever the teacher left the room and laughing hysterically. I doubt they understood half of them, but they all felt it very important to make the effort. When I finally saw it, the only thing I could think to say was, "She should put on some underwear or something. She looks like she's cold." Which also got hysterical laughter. Still not sure why, but I'm not convinced half of the class knew why they were laughing at that point, either.

You know, ever since finding out exactly how fellatio works, I've wondered about that. I know I would throw up.

I think analingus is the most disgusting form of sex.

Des, was it you who also had the idea for the T-shirt that said "Who would Jesus do? Nobody! Asexuals win!" because I would probably wear that.

I actually made that shirt. Sort of. I've never been much of a trendsetter, with two notable exceptions. When I was in middle school, I started a joke: "Hey! You wore that day after yesterday!" I thought it was stupid, but a few months later I saw it on a TV show. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I like to think not. The other, and relevant example, is that when I was in high school I started writing on blank white t-shirts with black permanent marker. My mom thought that was stupid. She moved to teach at that school the year after I graduated, and she said there were hundreds of idiots writing on their shirts now. The fad's kind of passed now, though. I still have one that says "Just Follow the Crowd. Everyone Else Is." In college I made the Who Would Jesus Do shirt the same way... and nobody got it.

What's that? Wait...*uses knowledge of English prefixes and suffixes*...what?...people do that!? That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard! *is scarred for life*

This is from a while ago, but I just remembered this convo from when I was in Strength and Conditioning class in my senior year of high school.

Male acquaintance: *points at a muscle in his wrist* Jerk-off muscle.

Me: Ugh!

Male acquaintance: Every guy needs one!

Me: *looks horrified*

Male acquaintance: Every girl, too.

Me: Um...I can tell you for sure that that's not true.

This is how I found out it was possible for women to masturbate.

Well, I was just reading a book a couple of minutes ago. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, it was Eclipse, the third Twilight book (They're not particularly quality literature, but they beat textbooks, which are my other options). ((Uhh, Spoilers, maybe?)) Now, in the first two books, the main character couple doesn't have sex. Can't have sex. Don't talk about sex. Don't think about sex. The subject might have come up once in a couple thousand pages. Then you hit the third book. In the latter part of the third book, main character girl starts making sexual advances. Serious ones. I started yelling at the book.

"No! NO! Stop it! You stop that right now! Nonononononono! Why? Don't make me turn this book around!"

Main character guy says he doesn't want to do it (sort of).

"YES! DE-NIED! Shut down, just like that! Now quick! Everyone stop talking about it and pretend it never happened!"

I was visibly upset by the change of pace. I was hoping that kind of crap wouldn't start until late in the 4th book (well, I'd prefer never, but I already knew it was coming). And in the meantime, I liked to think of them as, at least, celibate. (Actually, I'm pretty sure the author's Mormon, so that might explain "innocence" of the relationship up to that point).

That happens to me a lot, though. I enjoy reading about a couple's relationship until they start to mention sexual feelings. Then I get rather put out (I always kind of hope they'll gloss over that part). And I sometimes feel like not reading any more.

The only reason they don't have sex then is because he's a vampire and thinks he's gonna lose control and kill her if he has that much skin contact with her. And they're practically all over each other through the series anyway. Just wait till it gets to the fourth book - sex sex sex sex sex. <_<

Why is this embarrassing? I read all the books. I loved them. And I wasn't going to say what Scath said because I didn't want to ruin it for you, but the reason Edward didn't want to have sex with her was because they weren't married... the writer's a Mormon, if that clarifies anything.

Yeah, I figured all of that out. I was just simplifying for people who haven't read it.

I remember I was halfway through reading it and the cover flap popped out and I saw in the "About the Author" that Meyer went to BYU and I was like "Oh, wow. Mormon. That explains a lot." Especially about the abstinence thing. And the mortal soul thing. I'm actually really hesitant to read the next one because I know that it will involve a lot of... stuff I generally don't want to hear about. One of my suitemates already spoiled the final ending for me (yay communal living...).

I'm a little embarrassed to read them because of this weird stigma attached to the books in many circles. And I have older brothers who tend to mock almost anything they don't agree with- it gives you mild paranoia about certain books, movies, TV shows, websites, etc. Especially ones that are considered at all on the "girly" side. And if I read them in public areas (which is pretty much anywhere, since I live in a dorm), I tend to get mocked by my suitemates who didn't like the series. So I end up getting a little defensive.

An old crush of mine did one of those notes on facebook "Random facts about me" sort of things. Anyways, things he said on there definitely pointed to being asexy. I got so excited reading it! This would be the 3rd person I've liked who is suspected of being asexual, or at least not nearly as interested as the rest of the world.
