Shiro S Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm really curious since I'm new to AVEN and generally the asexual community (not new to the fact that I'm asexual tho): Where did the whole cake thing came from? Why is this a symbol for this group and not idk, pizza or some other dish or food? (I really like pizza more than cake ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lia Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Someone asked: What's better than sex? Someone answered: Cake! And so we have cake! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
that._.irish._.guy Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I actually like pie over cake. But they're both equally great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R3dTr1ckz Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was wondering the same thing when I first joined, @Shiro S... Until I asked around in chat and got links that explained AVEN History... I like both pie and cake, but ice cream's good too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NerotheReaper Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah as Lia said, it is an old joke really Plus cake can be pretty sexy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shiro S Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would not dare to touch those cakes @NerotheReaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AussieIsAce Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 the main function of cake is to show that we as asexuals would take it over sex. id take anything over sex. id eat dog food or dirt over sex. but i sex repulsed so anything is better than sex. we also say "give it cake" that means something is really good lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amaretti Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The phrase always puzzled me, considering some music uses "cake" to mean something sexual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Weasley Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Does anybody know the origins of 7 when someone used the cake saying first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't have the link handy, but I'm sure there is a post or something somewhere that goes into more detail about the history/background of the Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzipueo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Here's a silly story about the AVEN Cake: http://wiki.asexuality.org/Cake though really, it doesn't explain "Why Cake?" Another answer: http://www.asexualityarchive.com/cake/ Silliness prevails. I think, in the end, "cake" is just a way to represent that there are other things in the world besides sex and/or romance one can focus upon. I mean, really, have you ever watched Ace of Cakes? Great show. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doggalogga Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There's no sense crying over every mistake You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake And the science gets done and you make a neat gun For the people who are still alive _________ Some cakes are so good, you just need a lie down afterwards... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst yes, you gotta love cake, it's all about the pizza! Now I've never had sex, and don't particularly want to/am at all interested in it, I could guarantee that pizza is 1000x better than sex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
