Things Aces find weird

@tygersongbird I don't understand why anyone would associate beauty with sex. When you can see it for what it truly is, in a scientific way, it's not pretty.

 

I would say that sex could be beautiful in some sense if two people shared a deep emotional and spiritual connection with eachother. But the majority of people don't have that. What they have is lust.

 

Sexuals call things existing in nature beautiful without wanting to have sex with them. Like flowers. They should just apply that to humans.

Also, why a guy would wanna “eat a girl out”. Sounds disgusting as well.

Along with penis sucking it's a 69, or in slightly crude bingo lingo "dinner for two" :twisted:

I don't think talking about someone behind their back is nice, I think one penicious post is this one you did. But I'm sorry if I misinterpreted wrong but for me it seems that you didn't quote him or something, just for him to not know. Otherwise, if you just forgot, let me help you. @Philip027 

Very smooth Lucas. It’s stylish how you just pushed for 2 people to start and then just stood back and watched. Don’t pretend you haven’t spoken about  another person behind their back before. You’ve never talked to anyone in your life about someone else? Sometimes it’s part of life.

Could you share those with me? I have no idea who that is.

You don’t know who that is? Do you know how to search for people on aven?

Nope, I don't care to really search for someone's comments. I mean, I'm really concerned with getting my experience understood with others, not to expose others.

Its not just the men. If I behaved politely with women, some would take that as a sign of interest; which is why I avoid any sort of friendly interaction. I wont be a deliberate ass with them but I will try to keep things somewhat crudely simple.

Yup, and it seems that whenever you are friendly with someone, the outside public seems to think that you are dating them. I'm a huge nerd, and whenever I was in college, I would hang out with other nerds on the academic team. So, anyway, I would often hang out with a friend of mine, because we really were friends. So, when we went on a trip for school, there were rumors spreading around that we were dating. Of course, it was false. However, people just operate that people can't be friends (especially in heterosexual relationships), people just don't believe that.

Then why did you comment asking me to “share those”. Oops 😬

First of all, I didn't pushed anyone to fight, and I'm not watching anything. I never said that I didn't spoken about someone behind their back, I'm not going to lie, I already did that but the thing is, I know that it was wrong what I did. But we are in a different place and the rules are different, you said something very public to not just one person but to everybody, and didn't even quoted him. I can do that, and if you want to do that with me, I'm fine. And by any chance, do you see yourself fighting with him right now ? Because I don't.

Arguably I didn’t say anything behind his back then as I knew it would get back to him or was at least highly likely to. And I was happy for him to see it and I was happy for everyone else to see it because his recent posts have been incredibly dismissive, confrontational and provocative.

At the moment I thought you were afraid by saying behind his back or didn't wanted him to know. And that's why I quoted him, but I'm sorry if I seemed rude or similar doing that.

Honestly I think some things that are being mentioned in this topic don't have much to do with asexuality or sexuality... The main example that comes to mind is when someone talked about revealing clothing. Like, yeah, I get where you would see the relationship but at the same time, while I don't really wear crop tops or miniskirts I do wear shorts, leggings, tank tops and such things sometimes, and I would probably wear the former two as well if I were thinner (I'm a bit chubby). I'm ace and I don't really do it (or would do it) because I want to be found attractive, it's because I think I look nice when I wear that, and I don't want other people's desire or whatever to stop me from enjoying my clothing and from looking in the mirror and saying "I look nice today and my legs are pretty in this" or similar things. I do it for me, not for others. Not because I think I'm gonna look "sexy" to random dudes, but because I think I look prettier, more like an aesthetic thing.

 

Another thing I think is unrelated is the having kids thing... Having (biological) kids requires you have sex one time to be possible but nothing in the experience of having a child implies or requires anything sexual (actually, I guess most couples must kind of cut back on sex a bit when they have kids, or at least have more limitations as to when and where they can do it). And even then you don't even need to have sex at all, you can just adopt a child if you want to. For me I don't even see where the relation is at all on this point and don't get why so many people are listing this... I don't want to have kids either but neither do my siblings and I think they are allo. I mean, at least it would be one hell of a coincidence if all three of us were ace :P

 

But as for a thing I don't really get it would certainly be this kind of aggressive or violent sex. Not even BDSM level, just choking and slapping and stuff. I know not all allosexuals like those specific things but most seem to prefer some degree of agreessiveness (well, at least from what I've seen), even just little things like pulling hair. Like, I was reading that stupid thing about the ranking of the guys in bed on the op's post and at more than one point she says stuff like "it was the most violent sex I've ever had" or "I could hardly walk the day after" to actually PRAISE the dudes and I'm just... baffled because I cannot imagine these would be good things. Like I said before, I get it some allos are also not interested in agressive sex and a lot of this comes down to kinks and stuff, but the large majority seem to at the very least not hate it (or at the very, very least have agreed to try it at some point) and I just can't wrap my head around what could possibly be pleasurable about this. Everytime someone describes this sort of stuff I just think it sounds very painful. I remember when I was younger and I learned what sex was in Sex ED and for a good one or two years after, despite never feeling the want for sex, I knew kind of what it was like (or so I thought) and I imagined it as this cute thing, kind of like cuddling 2.0 or something and then when I saw a porn gifset for the first time (on Tumblr of course, where else) I was shocked because it was a lot more aggressive than I though it was! And that was most gifs, not just one. And then I searched some stuff on forums and all that and just realized that most people seem to like sex better this way, even if it starts out soft and romantic, to the point of looking down on people who like "vanilla" or who aren't "assertive" in bed. I do know that a lot of sexual people actively ask for more violent actions from their partners because they want it but when I heard it for the first time my reactions was just... Why would someone want to hurt the person they love the most? Especially just for their personal pleasure??? And now I get it it's a thing that both people usually enjoy but I still don't really understand HOW. If I ever were to have sex I would never have the courage to hurt my partner even if they told me they liked it and even if I knew the pain would last very little and be just an in the moment thing. I don't know, I guess probably because I don't really feel it myself. BDSM then? Even more puzzling. Besides all of that, oral sex is absolutely disgusting to me and I would NEVER do it. I have come to realize that most things sexual people consider the ones that keep sex interesting like different positions, different techniques and different sex toys and stuff are the ones I wouldn't want to try. I guess not feeling sexual pleasure at all makes me not understand all the nuances so that must be the reason. If I had no taste sense I wouldn't get the point of different flavors either, and would probably be content with samey meals every day. And I would look at jelly and say "why would you want to put this gooey weird thing inside your mouth?". So I guess it's similar.

I don't think what Lucas did was 100% right but still, I don't get how you can be complaining to someone about wanting to start fights when you mentioned how bad someone's posts were out of literally nowhere considering this person hadn't even talked to you on this thread (also, what is even wrong with his posts? I checked his profile and have seen him here before and he seems perfectly alright...). And also, I agree it's a bit different to talk about someone behind their back to a friend personally and talking about someone behind their back to a whole forum when you typed it out and had the time to reflect whether you should post it or not, and despite both being sort of wrong and both being things most people have done (well maybe not in forums, but in message groups and stuff), they are still different.

Anyway, I agree with tygersongbird, I think you should choose your words or tone better. I don't believe you meant to be rude, but the way you said some things is not very nice for the forum you are in. For example, when someone talked about how "eating a girl out" sounded disgusting, you said "Trust me it’s nothing short of amazing". You probably mean well but in a mainly asexual forum about asexuality it's kind of a dickish thing to say because we don't experience those things, and you know that. It won't make any difference to tell anyone it's amazing and to "trust you" when it's something they have made clear they don't feel. It is kind of like the whole "you will understand when you have it" thing sexual people sometimes say to us. No, we won't. And no, it's not amazing to us, no matter how much you tell us it is. Or when you said some people would view masturbating only and not having sex as selfish and how you'd rather have sex with someone else than yourself. I can see you don't mean to be offensive and you are just stating your experiences as an allo (which is totally ok) but the way you say it sounds a bit condescending. Even if it's not what you meant, I could see people reading these statements, especially the latter. as sort of passive agressive towards asexuality. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, I just think you should maybe have worded your replies better.

I don't understand why people love that, honestly. It never makes sense to me, honestly. Why don't people like the nice girl or nice guy who treats them with respect and says "I love you" to them with truth and sincerity? I don't understand.

I will try and choose my words more carefully. However, you have looked for my replies to state your case but not properly researched the other persons but you claimed that they were ok.

Let me give you just a taste of what I mean.

 

A sexual person creates a thread about responsive sexual desire in the correct area of this forum. The 1st response from said person is....

 

In other news, water is wet, people die if they are killed, and get this -- Darth Vader is actually Luke Skywalker's dad.

 

I think this is far more dismissive and antagonistic than “trust me it’s nothing short of amazing”

 

I won’t Labour the point any further but there have been several others from that same individual.  If people don’t like my posts, perhaps they should challenge others who are equally dismissive about people’s feelings.

Yesterday I read a news article about a fraternity that had a "pig roast" contest amongst their pledges.  There were prizes for the most girls, the most pounds and the heaviest sexual conquest.  At first I laughed, but, really, I think it just another sick fucking way to demean good people.  I really don't understand that level of cruelty.

My typical style of response to "studies" which state the fucking obvious.  It wasn't even a jab at the OP, because even the OP recognized too that it was obvious.

 

I utilize a lot of sarcasm and snark.  It's my coping mechanism, particularly against a world that apparently has the need to waste a lot of time and potentially money "proving" things everyone already knows.  If you don't care for it, blacklist me and move on, because it ain't about to stop.

 

This is getting really off-topic so this is the last response I'm going to make here in this regard.

Thank you for being considerate. But I never said the behaviour you mentioned is ok either. I think maybe I didn't check his profile well enough then.. I would still prefer to see the actual topic you are talking about to have more context but it does sound a bit rude as well. I think we should all try to be more understanding of each other. I mean both when it comes to sexualities and individuals. People change over time and have bad days and stuff. I just think we should try to solve problems with other people, not talking bad things about them. We all do it, but it would be better to avoid this kind of conflict... it creates a better forum environment I think, solving problems directly. Btw, sorry if this sounds preachy or something, I'm not a saint or anything and I've been rude and inconsiderate before a lot of times but I'm just saying because this is a safe space for lots of use I think we should do our best to keep it friendly...

I actually don't want either of you to go anywhere, to be honest. I want you to be honest here, and I don't want you to change any of that up, really. I don't. My aim is to create community with people, which is something I lack in real life. That's the goal behind this post, and any post I truly make, really. I'm looking to not only find out who (or what in this case) I am, as well as hopefully find people to actually talk to about this. That is something I don't get in my real life interactions. Sadly, most people are either so sexually focused they'd never notice, or I'm an alien to them as their little kid since I'm so young.  This feels closer than most real relationships, just being here able to speak on asexuality. It's not superficial, really.  So, I don't want this to change. And I don't want you to go anywhere. I hope you really don't leave the conversation. I'm being really honest with you.

My aunt happens to be a nurse and she tells me stories about her job  sometimes.Once she told me a story about a guy who got his man parts stuck in a toaster. Apparently he was really drunk and a few people dared him to.I legit don't understand this and I think even nonaces would be like why?Like why even?

I have no clue why or how.I just know he did.Seriously this is why I don't drink(that and I'm underage).My aunt told me way too many things about stupid stuff people have done when drunk.Guy parts stuck in a toaster doesn't begin to cover some of the stupid.I wish she'll stop telling me stories.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a group of lads together. Believe me, we used to do similar stuff. One example: snogging a fish caught out of the canal (guy called Tim in our gang did that). Self preservation and propriety are distant concerns when you're drunk / stoned and together with your mates.

4.) Why do serial killers and school shooters have fandoms where a lot of women sexualize them?

Well, I don't know if I should say this, but I do study a lot of serial killers, but it's more of an academic pursuit. The deeper psychology of serial killers is a rather interesting and ever introspecting pursuit. Figuring out why a serial killer does what they do is pretty interesting, I think.

The cod psychological explanation is to do with some women wanting to save the bad guy - the love of a good woman, and all that.

A fairly typical m/f romance trope, in fact.
