Cinian Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 When I got so mad at everyone on the internet that insisted Mulder and Scully would be better as a romantic couple, and I didn't see it at all. And I still felt that way when I watched the new episodes last year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishArcher Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 1. When I first went into Victoria's Secret and felt extremely uncomfortable with all the mostly naked pictures of women on the walls. I haven't gone back since. 2. When I always felt uncomfortable wearing short shorts or low-cut tops, because I don't want anybody looking at me in even a remotely sexual way. 3. When my sister asked me what I looked for in a guy, and I went: "Um...tall?" because I felt like I had to say something. 4. When everybody around me freaks out at shirtless guys in movies/shows, and I'm just like, "Put your shirt on, you're obviously just doing this for more views." 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kitkat7e Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 There are two moments that come to mind. I only recently found out I was asexual, so some of these are recent. 1. Me talking to one of my guy friends after PE. Me (Jokingly) :Why the heck would they split up girls from guys in locker rooms? That's sexist! Him: It's so that while they are changing, girls wouldn't see the guys naked and vice versa. Me: Why the heck would they do that? Do they think I'm going to judge guys by their looks? Him: ... Me: I'm missing the point, aren't I? 2. Stranger Things spoiler: Spoiler I was watching Stranger Things and it was the scene where Steve was having sex with Mike's sister and in between was shots of Barb being attacked and eaten. I was like, "Stop interrupting the horror with the sex scene! I want to know what happens to Barb!" even though that probably most people see the horror scene as interrupting the sex scene, now that I think about it. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhyme Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I would constantly think up scenarios that would let me never have sex in my life. As in: "I'd rather never have sex than have to wars 'sexy' underwear." SWEETIE, YOU'RE ACE, AND YOU'D RATHER NEVER HAVE SEX, PERIOD. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hward Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Oh gosh there's so many things I should have picked up on now that I think about it! - Never being interested in boys/relationships/sex at school and college. - Saying I never want kids (because the thought of having to get close enough to a guy to do it was just icky) - Being ridiculously uncomfortable any time anyone mentioned sex. - Then when I eventually had sex spending the whole time thinking it was incredibly awkward / why do people make such a fuss about sex / sex isn't fun / am I doing it right / is it over yet / will he notice if I leg it as soon as it's over 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunose2772 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Not sure if this is a sign of Asexuality, Maturity, or both In Health class getting annoyed when the teacher would mention certain parts of the reproductive system and everyone would giggle 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harkness144 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Similar to what other people have put in some ways: - Never being interested in boys in school - I was called gay a few times but since I’ve never seen being gay as an issue, it wasn’t really something I saw as an insult! -Never wanting children -Awkward online dating attempts and the relief that follows when it’s clear it’s not going to work. (My mum just thinks I’m extremely picky) -The sheer delight of evenings spent on my own with a good film or book, a glass of wine and a takeaway. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hward Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Also every time anyone says "ooh he's hot" and i said nothing as didn't see the appeal. And the phrase "he looks better with his clothes on" is something I've definitely said a fair few times. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never understood what was so funny to people about reproductive parts. I thought it was a maturity thing, but now I wonder if that had more to do with being ace. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inky Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 When I would watch tv with my boyfriend and a sex scene would come on. I would think, “Crap.

Ivory__ Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I was excessively bothered by the amount of smut stories I came across when looking for something to read online and when I tried to find someone who agreed they all thought the opposite. The annoyance was probably a byproduct of being sex-averse/repulsed or not being able to relate or comprehend what was happening. Also, "What do you like in a partner?" I kept answering with personality when the question was more directed at physical traits. I never learned anything in Sex Ed because one of my teachers sensed I was feeling off about the lessons and didn't force me to take notes. Safe to say, I abused her kindness and did nothing for those 6 months I had her. Otherwise I zoned out of the lessons and my friends covered for me whenever I was called upon because I was 'too innocent'. I kept reading stories with asexual characters and thought "I relate" but didn't somehow make the connection at first. I'm clever in that sense. In the end, that's what led to me discovering my orientation. I guess if it wasn't because of my friend's old Destiel phase from 2015/16 I wouldn't have even noticed. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, maybe it's just my Catholicism seeping through, but I've always struggled to see the point of birth control and contraceptives because I can't comprehend how people are unable to keep from having sex. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Destan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 - the words 'sexy' and 'hott' (or any related words) aren't in my dictionary because I can't even imagine myself saying it and I just don't get it when other people say it. - When I was 10 years old, I had to attend puberty class for the first time and all I could think was 'Man, this is boring. When will this end? I wish I could also play outside with the others' .Boys and girls were separated for that class so the next day, it was the other groups turn. A friend of mine was in that group so after they went through it too, I cluelessly asked what they had to talk about. My friend told me and I still couldn't grasp the situation at that time. - I would cringe, cover my ears or react in disgust when I hear people talk about things related to sex. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bronztrooper Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not understanding why abstinence was such a big deal. Not really understanding the whole 'sex sells' thing. Hearing people talk about who was 'hot' or 'cute' and not seeing what they apparently saw. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nova_Wild Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I was kind of a loner in middle and high school so I thought girls discussing "hot guys" on a regular basis was just a stereotype they put in teen sitcoms. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
