ConfusedTeen. Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Hello people of AVEN, so this is probably a dumb question but if you’re asexual can you find sex jokes funny? I’m pretty sure I’m ace but I laugh at/make jokes like ‘that’s what she said’ all the time, what does this mean? What are your opinions on sexual jokes? As I said this is most definitely a dumb question but I’m curious so whatever. 🙃 Edited February 16, 2020 by ConfusedTeen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weird elf Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sure thing. I do find them funny - if I get them. Truth be told, more often than not I plain don't catch on until much later because my mind is likely literally anywhere other than on sex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sexual and often don’t catch innuendos until they’re pointed out! Just a matter of humour types, I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't like most sex jokes because it offends people, we live in a new era...but if it's from Amy Schumer, omg, she is a funny comedienne, she is the only exception for jokes! Just my opinion though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have found myself in the same situation trying to go with flow in the conversation and laugh when you really don't fully understand or have a reference with what is being said.

Janus the Fox Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Funnier the more outlandish such the content could be . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest xAveryx Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 @CBC yeah i know but i don't see it as an offense then. I mostly feel flattered if people ask me out even though i can't act on it. That's a reason why I don't feel like I'm "fully" ace. I like to flirt as long as everything is casual and I guess my mindset wants to be allo but my body is ace.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zagadka Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I do enjoy sexual humor. I tend to enjoy more off color content, which frequently involves sexual jokes, and I enjoy them. Interestingly, I don't enjoy romantic humor, which I guess just isn't as funny on a third grade level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest xAveryx Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Might ask, what is romantic humor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zagadka Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 See, romantic humor isn't funny, or it would be better known. I'm basically referring to jokes or bits around a relationship or crush or whatever. It doesn't come off as funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zagadka Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A lot of the comedy people I follow online have been in their late 20s- early 30s, and dating and relationship humor is insanely common. It is annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cat7 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I seem to be the only one, but... I never really understood, what's so funny about sex. To me sex is not a funny topic.🤷♀️ I especially hate it, when guys twist my words to make it seem like I said something sexual, when I didn't. When that happens I feel like they are blaming me for their disgusting sexualized behaviour… (Or however you call that.) But perhaps this doesn't fall under "jokes" anymore.

AnneBonny159 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I make them all the time. In fact a lot of the ace people I know are the dirtiest-minded people in my group of friends! I guess to me all sex is kinda weird and ridiculous. So making jokes out of it is quite... liberating. It normalises it and makes it something I'm more comfortable talking about, even though I don't actually want to do it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think your identity is still valid if you make those kinds of jokes. It makes them even funnier for me because I cannot imagine what it would be like to have sex.

It doesn't come off as funny. Well, I think the reason why sex jokes commonly make people laugh is because they are about a very secretive topic which however involves surprisingly much status anxiety. We don't wanna talk about our sexual activities, but we want everyone to know we're not loosers. Or we are worried we might be loosers, cos we're not having it, so we tell and laugh about jokes to show everyone that we still know about it. Whether someone is successful in their romance or not, we usually tell that as a story, not as a joke. Whether someone is successful in their sexual attempts, is something which is irrelevant for a story and meant to be kept private but instead is bragged about in the open. Btw, why do we often dwell in romantic dramas, but never (?) in sexual dramas? I don't mean movies about sexual abuse, but rather like: oh, they met and kissed and hugged, and it looked so good for person A, but neither A nor person B eventually could come. Probably because, romance is storytelling, sexual entertainment is probably either about enjoying a feeling over a stretch of time, or getting to some point, so the point is important. The point is not present in romance in the same way. On 2/22/2020 at 7:18 PM, Cat7 said: I seem to be the only one, but... I never really understood, what's so funny about sex. To me sex is not a funny topic.🤷♀️ Yea, I don't know if I'm even convinced myself by my own explanation just now. Tbh I DO laugh at sex jokes, or at least, I COULD laugh if I let my self go to laugh, which I normally don't with most jokes, cos I'm a very sincere person. But I don't like the fact that I laugh at sex jokes, I don't like the fact that sex jokes are all around us, and that it's tolerated by society. I usually prove my case by stating that sex is something meant to be kept between my partner and me, and when we do something, I wouldn't want to start thinking about that funny joke that Charlie Harper made in 2 & 1/2 Men the other day. That man, and even more so, the buddies around me who I know have seen it too and retold it in our pentry at work, those people have NOTHING to do with me and my partner in an intimate moment. I think sex jokes are cheap. They usually bring forth extensive laughter for very little investment of intellect. I really prefer when talented people make jokes that REALLY are funny by themselves, not just because they are about a double moral topic. Then I'll allow myself to laugh.
