Incredibly Ace Moments

[abitho218]

Well, here's mine (it's actually more of a Demiromantic reaction). Last year in choir class whenever our music teacher was gone, we would watch a movie. So this time around, we watched The Sound Of Music, and there was a kiss scene. When it came around, I covered my eyes and said "Ew, gross," and everyone got mad at me. But it truly did make me uncomfortable to see it. Another scene came around and I had the same reaction. This time, a classmate of mine said "Stop it, this is normal," and everyone chorused in agreement. I just shut up for the remaining time. It happened again the next time, but I just lied and said I found it cute.I love the movie, it's just stuff like that that makes me uncomfortable. Another time, when my friends where taking about who they'd do it with, or who they have done it with. I felt uncomfortable, and they both knew that I am asexual. They ignored my efforts to change the topic, so I just walked away. But that's only two of them.

"I don't like penises, vaginas or anything in between"

-Me

[Lmaohelpme]

^^

"I'm not interested in sex"

- No one I (personally) know

[012]

But that's not what it means. It just means 'come over and have sex'.

Wikipedia:  slang term using an invitation to watch Netflix together as a euphemism for sex,
either between partners or casually as a booty call
Urban Dictionary: It means that you are going to go over to your partners house
and fuck with Netflix in the background.

Okay, well I didn't realize that. I thought it just meant casually hook up.

Although the casual portion in the Wikipedia definition would be slutty to me.

When i was 9 i learned about sex and after listening to a song for a couple of months i'd start to realise that there were sex references in it. Of course since it took me that long to realise, i thought my parents wouldnt either

i just googled a couple of the songs i liked back then and no they definitely realised

So today was my last day of English class/my English final. To randomly call on students, my teacher uses a deck of cards. Each student has their own card with their name on it. My card is the ace of clubs.

As my teacher was passing out the final, I asked him what he was going to do with the cards. He told me I could keep mine if I wanted. So I was happy when I took my final (plus it shorter and easier than the biology final I took earlier).

After I finished, I asked if I could get my card. He said yes and I had to stop myself from smiling as I got my card.

What were the chances that my name would end up on an ace card? It was just so fitting! (I could literally say "I'm an ace" and people would assume that I meant my name was on an ace card. They wouldn't question what I said, since I would say that during a conversation about the cards. They wouldn't realize that I also meant "I'm asexual")

Once everyone had finished the final, he said that if they wanted, they could take their cards. He also said we could stamp them, if we wanted. Basically everyone grabbed their card and put a stamp on the front side of the card. (I put mine on the back in case I wanted to put the asexual flag on the card or something like that)

Everyone else grabbed their card because the class was awesome. (There were 20 kids in the class, so everyone was more familiar/comfortable with each other. And our teacher is a good teacher, but he's a bit of a tough grader on essays. So there was a fun environment in the class, and we learned stuff too. I everyone is going to miss being in that class...) To be honest I think anyone else is going to keep their card for very long.

But I am definitely keeping mine.

(I probably didn't need to add all that information... But whatever XD)

Yeah, it could be. But it's not necessarily that.

So, I drive for my job, and as I'm loading up the van, one of my coworkers asks me if I would want another of my coworkers to come along with me. I personally don't really like the person, and frankly enjoy my alone time behind the wheel, so I said no. Two days later, I hear that the rumor was that she'd asked me out, and I'd said no.

So... Question: Is this just the rumor mill being a stupid rumor mill, or did my coworker actually ask me out by proxy? And if the latter: why am I still dealing with high-school drama when I'm approaching thirty?

[Homer]

Rumor mill.

(At my last workplace, I had at least four different girlfriends at the same time and even a child. Depended on who had been asked :D too bad nobody ever told me anything)

[ceruleen]

In an instance not too long ago, I was driving with my boyfriend. He was playing with my hair, or something, and so I said, "could you put your hand down here on my thigh so I'm less distracted [while driving]?"

... it took me a while to realize why he was laughing so hard.

[myhazymind]

So I was watching a movie about queen Elizabeth, and there was a sex scene of her father and of a mistress. (I'm a teenager only a year back or something.) He/father was pretending to be a lion, and the mistress was pretending to be the mouse/prey. And I said something--as I do when something crosses my mind--about the little fore play being dumb or weird. So my dad had me stop the show, or I was turning on the volume. And he was trying to explain to me why they were doing that. Sex is fun. I made a face cause really? No. He was like: Sex is fun. It connects two adults to a grown up activity.

I still don't get it but okay.

You know what even more fun is? Connecting as adults playing a game, you can even do it all day long without tiring as much!

[MelissaJC]

remember that song that went"you and me ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"?

Yeah well all the kids at my school loved that song (middle school), they even would play that song at school dances. And I literally couldn't STAND it! Like I would get visibly upset every time I heard it, and nobody else could understand why.

...my first interpretation of this was "let's do dangerous experiments that involve lots of C4 and ballistics gel like on Mythbusters!" My second thought was "let's go to the Bering Sea and catch huge crustaceans bigger than our faces!" I think it's pretty clear what I watched on Discovery Channel in middle school.

Don't know if this is an ace moment or an anti ace moment.

I was playing Cards Against Humanity with my coworkers. I won. I am the most asexy person among them, and either I am exceptionally good at CAH or I have the dirtiest mind.

My option about Cards Against Humanity is more or less neutral. There are other games I would rather play, but if I'm with a group of people who wants to play it I'm not to going to make a big deal out of it. I'm not offended by Cards Against Humanity. I just don't find the sexual jokes very entertaining. (And I don't really like making sexual jokes in general)

[gracious]

On a date yesterday, we went for a walk in the woods and found a sulfur shelf mushroom ("chicken of the woods"). Today I realized I've been thinking about how delicious that mushroom was way more than I've been thinking about how nice the kissing was, haha.

I absolutely love this thread! I try to read all, I'm on page 81.

Here is one of mine:

When I was at school, we discussed this painting.

These are the roman gods Venus and Mars. The teacher was constantly talking about how these two would totally have sex together. I was trying to convince him that Mars was asleep, and because he is the god of war, this means that there is peace. I absolutely wanted him to stop talking about sex so much. He only came to the conclusion that this could mean "make love not war". I didn't like it <_<

I also remember absolutely not wanting Mars to wake up and have sex with Venus :P

[ninive]

Once I unconsciously bought a porn comic, they shouldn't have sold it to me in the first place as I was 12, I didn't see anything strange in it but one day I brought it to school.

There was one scene of a girl with a tennis ball between her legs and I just thought that maybe she was playing tennis and fell on it... my classmates made fun of me for not getting it, then a teacher saw it and took it away, i've never seen it again. I kinda miss it because there was a story about sex change i quite liked.

His legs look weird and I don't know what happened to her other leg. Did it melt into the ground? And he's going to have a sore neck when he wakes up.

The thing is, at one my workplaces I am convinced that they all assume I am married and/or have a child. It can be a great concern that they will somehow act differently around me if they find out I am none of these things they imagine. I sometimes feel very nervous when they all start discussing 'relationship' issues, and I really don't want them to ever ask me.

[FOXracingfan]

I was at a "party" (more like a random gathering of random people) and some of us girls were talking about relationships and someone asked me "When are you getting a special someone?" and my response was "Never." Everyone else, except my best friend who knows I don't date, laughed like it was a joke and it took me a couple minutes to realize they actually thought I was joking, because "Never" apparently isn't the normal response to that question when you're in your twenties.

[Lmaohelpme]

Best ace moment ever (for me):

Keep in mind everyone in this is allo, and I'm not out yet.

I was with a couple of friends and we were playing cards. So one person was collecting all the ace cards and the other asked her why. She said aces are awesome and I smiled. Then I found the ace of spades card in the deck and another girl said the ace is the prettiest. I quietly laughed. Then someone pointed out that a spade looks like an arrow tip. So I thought Aro Ace. I was actually laughing at this point and no one knew why. Eventually we were all bored of the game so someone suggested we play zucchini. At this point I was dying of laughter ad no one understood. :P

I can't say that I understood it fully, but the way the teacher explained it was: Venus is the goddess of fertility, Mars has a high libido->they are going to have sex. Also, there are some hidden sexual symbols, like the satyrs (who are apparently a sign for libido).

But I'm not sure about it, if anyone has a better explanation, feel free to clarify it.

[Nea Rose Symphony]

I have no clue. Just looks like Mars is too sleepy for happy happy fun time

Never before have I heard that one person being fertile and the other having a libido guaranteed that the two will have sex. Does your teacher realize that those conditions are met when a 16-year-old and a 35-year-old (take your choice of gender!) are in the room together? This would mean that an adult simply being in the room with a minor should be a crime.

Anyway, maybe they're long-lost siblings. Or maybe they hate each other. Or maybe they're not in the mood, like ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO PEOPLE!

When I realized "Netflix and chill" was a sexual euphemism instead of a fun way to spend an evening.

*sigh* I got so excited when I first heard about Netflix and Chill. Before the term rolled around, any time I tried to imagine my ideal night with anyone it boiled down to: "Hay! Let’s binge watch stuff from our favorite fandoms and cuddle up and eat snacks!"

So when I first heard the term I thought: “Awesome! Getting together with friends/romantic partners and having movie nights must be super popular now!” Luckily I never invited anyone over with that term… but it took me until this year to realize what it really meant. >_<

Anyway- another one of my favorite Ace moments!

Me, my mother and my two siblings decided to stop by The Cheesecake Factory for a quick lunch one day. We had just finished Christmas shopping and had agreed to split the bill with the leftover money so I had my head buried in the menu, trying to calculate our potential bill to see if we could squeeze in a slice of dessert.

I started getting annoyed with my mom after waiter brought us our bread because after he left she kept interrupting my calculations with a constant stream of comments about how hot our waiter was.

“Wow that guy looked cute.”

“Don’t you think he’s hot?”

“I think he’s about your age.”

“He’s got a cute butt doesn’t he?”

I haven’t even noticed him yet and am utterly baffled by why my 50 year old mother has suddenly become so obsessed with someone around the age of her eighteen year old daughter. She’s starting to make me a little uncomfortable by the time he comes back around to take our orders. She keeps looking at him, then looking at me, then back him and I’m just like ??? Mom did you hear my suggestion about splitting dessert? Because I want tiramisu. Tiramisu is love. Tiramisu is life. Please stop looking at butts and talk about the tiramisu with me!

When he leaves she leans over the table and rather loudly declares “You know if I was your age I would flirting with him so hard right now. I would try and get his number.” And she just stares at me with this desperate, frustrated look of “oh my god child- read between the lines already!”

Oh! Oh god. She was trying to get me to look at this guy wasn't she? She wanted me to flirt with him!

After saying “uhhh” way too many times and having to have her point him out to me because I literally couldn’t tell him apart for the rest of the people on duty at the time, I scramble to say something to satisfy her.

“Oh…him? Yeah I guess he does look pretty..….healthy?”

... She deflated like a balloon and finally gave up.

(and yes, I did get my tiramisu in the end! :P)

I'm glad my mom isn't the boy crazy type. It's quite amusing when I'm asked for a description of someone and one question is "are they good looking?" Idk. "You're hopeless."

Hating dress shopping because basically all the dresses in the store are super revealing. And the store also sells "booty lifting shorts." Your mom and sister don't notice/ignore that stuff and your sister manages to find a dress quickly. But you can't find a dress. (Luckily your dad is there and he basically the same reaction, "why the flub is half this dress missing" to most of the dresses. But you still can't find a dress in that store. Because basically all the dresses say "I'm interested attracting someone")

Luckily you see a dress in another store and it fits and its not revealing. At first, your mom thinks its ugly, but the rest of your family thinks its fine. And I like that store because basically none of the dresses in it are revealing.

In senior year of high school, my parents made me go to prom, and at this point I did not realize my gender yet. My mom went to the mall with me to get me a dress, which after much hesitation, I agreed to. Nothing in the mall was appealing to me, especially the ones with the low necklines. I settled with a dress that she left in the closet for 10 years. It was knee length and practically covered me everywhere else. I had full length sleeves and my collar was about the same height as I would wear a t-shirt. I'm a bigger framed person than my mom so this was also one dress size too small. We worked with my aunt to sew in a piece of fabric to cover where the back of my bra would be, because my shoulders were too big (haha) and there was a vertical line in the back where my skin would be showing because of that. Then sometime later one of my cousins from Washington State was visiting. She wanted to see these pictures. Her comment? "I've never seen anyone wear so much clothing to prom." Now I'm very proud of that statement.

I used to think "Netflix and chill" meant literally watching Netflix and chilling. I think I've just been scarred for life.

I hope Netflix and Chill isn't this thread's new

tossed salad

After reading "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in high school one of my friends listed it off as one of the many novels we had to read that had sex in it. I just looked at her, "there wasn't any sex in that book." Apparently it was strongly implied in several chapters.

One of my sisters once asked me what "my type" was, and I just thought about it and never could come up with an answer. I always thought I would have a type but I really couldn't describe anything I liked.

The fact that when I was the only female in the class of 23 students in AP physics 2 (my people!), I told myself that if I didn't manage to find a boyfriend then I probably wasn't going to end up dating. I ended up not even caring or feeling awkward, and thoroughly enjoyed that class. This was before I even knew about asexuality/aromanticism. Every Friday in this class someone would bring food in for everyone, and given that most of the guys just bought muffins from the store I took it upon myself to bake portal cakes when it was my turn. Omg

I think I missed the sex in all the places. I read that book too. If I remembered the right book, one of the guys in my class joked that she was infertile because she was with three men and didn't have children with any of them. Also I managed to never see condoms in stores growing up so somehow I managed to avoid all of them despite having a curious mind that wants to see every part of the store.

Your class had a lot less girls than my class. It always seemed to be a 20% thing for me. My class was 35 with 7 girls, if I was included in there. And my university's engineering department was like 17% female.

So for history we had to do a project with something called Thinglink. You post pictures and you add tags with information/pictures/gifs/videos to them. You can add the, to collection, where other people can view them. My class has our own collection for people to post their project/view other people's projects. And you can like pictures. On the site, they call a like a touch.

Me: Lol, so if you like a picture you basically go up to it and go BOOP.

~Later in class~

The teacher: If you find a picture you like you can... touch it.

Rest of class: *Laughing*

Me: *Thinking* Oh yeah. Touch has that meaning too.

Teacher: I'm going to email Thinglink about that, it's a bit creepy. Maybe tap it would be better.

Some kids in the class: *More laughing*

Teacher: Wait, never mind that's not better.

Me: *Thinking* Right, tap also has that meaning.

(Throughout the rest of class, many people made sexual jokes about touching each other's pictures.)

I would like a boop button.

My professor did that once, don't remember if I mentioned it here before. For some reason, learning about Freud was part of the topic of 20th century and beyond (but it helped immensely with discovering my identity). So he was lecturing about relationships. He mentioned "well lubricated relationships". He realized what he said and tried to change it to "well oiled". That definitely didn't work.

I can't say that I understood it fully, but the way the teacher explained it was: Venus is the goddess of fertility, Mars has a high libido->they are going to have sex. Also, there are some hidden sexual symbols, like the satyrs (who are apparently a sign for libido).

But I'm not sure about it, if anyone has a better explanation, feel free to clarify it.

Does your teacher realize that those conditions are met when a 16-year-old and a 35-year-old (take your choice of gender!) are in the room together? This would mean that an adult simply being in the room with a minor should be a crime.

Anyway, maybe they're long-lost siblings. Or maybe they hate each other. Or maybe they're not in the mood, like ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO PEOPLE!

That was my theatre professor so many times. She thinks all six types of attraction are the same.

No professor, stop.

Ace moments right now I remember:

I thought back to a time in high school. Right now I'm wondering if I was actually sexually attracted to this girl in my class. Suppose it was. We were working on a collaborative assignment together. She wasn't really the one that cared about school so I'm not sure why we gave her the big portion of the assignment. We had a weekend to work on our parts. I remembered telling myself, "If she does her part of the assignment, I'll continue liking her." It wasn't really a surprise, but she did not finish her part the assignment. Whatever feeling I had, if it was sexual attraction, actually disappeared afterwards. I think if I told that to my allo friend, she would be telling me, that's not how it works.

Yesterday, I went to meet up with my ex-apartmentmate to practice martial arts with the Stanford team. I forgot it was summer so there were only 7 of us, and 6 that went to eat dinner later. As with college students, you know sex was bound to show up in conversation somewhere. This one girl said this fun fact that tall people have a better chance of mating. The tall guy said yay in some weird high pitched voice. While this went on, I told my apartmentmate, also ace, "let's get lost OUT of this conversation".

[nerdperson777]

I knew I forgot one that happened today. My parents and I went to Costco to buy some jewelry for one of my female cousins who's getting married. The older sister, the one above who laughed about my prom, just gave birth to a child last week, my parents said. My reaction was "SINCE WHEN DID THEY DECIDE THIS?" Mom said probably right after their wedding (we went to their wedding last year). In my mind I was thinking, ewwww...they did it. At that wedding, the younger brother's wife was pregnant so they had a kid too. I wasn't going to this wedding already for several reasons (1. I was forced by my parents to not be my gender, 2. All weekend I was constantly told to accommodate them, 3. I was going to take summer session at my university, and 4. I want to see my friend/future mom pass her sifu test), but I was really wondering why I was out of the loop on all these babies. At Costco they were trying to get jewelry for this cousin, the older sister's baby, and the younger brother's baby so I was confused who's getting what jewelry anymore. I'm really hoping the oldest of those cousins will realize he's asexual or something so I have someone in the family to relate to, because really, he's never dated anyone and concentrates solely on his government job.
