Don't really see why the euphemisms should be there in the first place, but that's more of a societal thing than anything.

I don't really see the need either - but I suspect these euphemisms just aren't a thing where I live. We either say "period" or "days".

Although the second one could be considered an euphemism, I guess.

Like if a sex scene comes on it might as well be a medical documentary with how I see it. I find sex and the human body fascinating, but in a 'watching someone getting open heart surgery' sort of way. It's super interesting but I do not want to be a part of it. 

Oh my god...same ._. i never compared it to open heart surgery tho :D

I forget but I think it had to do with the "crybaby complaints".  My mind can go off on really random tangents.

Fair enough, I guess.

 

I've heard Red Wave (occasionally) and Aunt Flo, but generally whenever the subject is brought up around me, it's either the passive 'time of the month', or just 'period'.  Though, with my sister, it's just her 'thing'.  Probably why I haven't heard a lot of the euphemisms about it.

I use shark week or vamp week or occasionally Lucifer's waterfall, because I think they sound cool/funny and also because it lessens the gender dysphoria of being a nonbinary boy with a period by making it a bit more light hearted

I'm finding some of these euphemisms to be pretty eccentric unnecessary. I usually just say period or, most subtly, 'I started it today' and somehow people guess what I mean in context.

I have an ace moment every time I see a post that says something along the lines of "When you haven't had sex in x days and y happens" and I can't relate at all because the lack of sex has no effect on my life.

What does it mean "and [y] happens"? What happens when people don't have sex?

 

I'm not sure what brought it on, but the other day my brother and sister-in-law were saying they wouldn't have sex for a month for some reason I can't remember. My brother told his wife that there's no way she could go that long and then she agreed. I just said "Well, I could go without sex for, like, forever."

In middle and high school, the subtle way was "the dot".

I’m waiting for the day when I get to make a deal with the devil and trick him by acting like giving up sex is a big bargaining chip or gain special powers due to my virginity. Remaining chaste would be the easiest contract of my entire life. 😇

Well, for example, I saw a tweet that said something along the lines of 'when you haven't had sex in a year and this person starts looking good' which was obviously a joke and an exaggeration but I can't think of a better example.

I say this so often and no one ever believes me.

Don't know if I mentioned this one before.  My cousin brought it back up yesterday after I hadn't heard of it in a while.  My mom is sex-repulsed and doesn't want me going off having crazy sex (not like it'll happen).  To my cousin's surprise, our aunt said, "so what if [he] was?  It doesn't matter."  How to tell off a helicopter parent on what really matters.

I went to the mob museum here (which is awesome) a couple weeks ago and in the area about illegal gambling they have a table set up like a poker game, but it's for trivia in that area. You play against the other people at the table and each seat has a typical cards nickname, like Champ or King. I happened to get Ace.

I read Harry Potter when I was 18. I'm 21 now. I saw a Tumblr post today about Molly and Arthur's security question in Half Blood Prince. I don't have the book on hand, but it goes something like this:

 

Arthur asked "What do I call you when we are alone together?"

 

Molly didn't want to answer, but Arthur wouldn't let her open the door.

 

Harry began eating loudly, clanking his spoon on the bowl.

 

Molly blushed and whispered, "Mollywobbles."

 

That was totally not word for word. Anyway, apparently, "alone together" means when they are 

Spoiler

having sex.

I always thought it was a cutsie nickname that Molly was just embarrassed to be saying in front of Harry and that "alone together" meant when the kids weren't around.

At school I like to stuff my jacket pockets with food and one day I was trying to stuff two bananas in one pocket;it wasn't working. So I said out loud to my friends, "Remember kids, it's hard to fit two bananas in one pocket." My friends burst out laughing while I just stood there with 'what?' plastered all over my face. It took me a moment after my asked if I know what I just said to realize how that could have been taken sexually. 

I am know for being dirty minded but there are many times where sex is the farthest thing from my mind. Definitely when I'm handling food.

P.s. I did eventually get the bananas to fit.

I learned that many innuendos are vegetables, which is the opposite of wanting "meat".  🍑🍌🍆🍉 And that's all that I know.

Hmmm...Interesting. I've never thought about it that way. Thank you for showing this perspective. I must have time to think.

When we were reading Shakespeare's Tempest in highschool (and other classics for that matter) and we were discussing how sex was the motivation to get married which was why Prospero keep threatening and saying "thou shalln't dare break her virgin knot or w/e" (Sorry I do not respect Shakespeare) so that they would stay motivated to marry each other and I was like yeah okay...but then what is the motivation for sex?

I always thought that too. 

The realisation I just had was actually very uncomfortable.

Porn, sex scenes in movies, things like that don't bother me. I'm a grey, so maybe that's why I can relate, just not much interest. My biggest Ace moments have been either when someone tried to set me up with a friend of theirs ("Poor guy, never has a date, I'll help him out!") or somebody directly came after me. In nearly every case, all I felt was repulsion (the others were mildly annoying to intriguing if the person seemed interesting), especially since there's never any forewarning. Back in my twenties, I was working in a warehouse and one of the women in the office sent me flowers. Twice. Anonymously. Then at the next work party she came up and confessed. REALLY awkward for me. I said yes because at the time I didn't have it in me to say no. Nothing went well. More recently, someone I see at my current job showed interest in me for a stretch of time. First, I politely ignored it, hoping that'd be enough. Then a brief stint of "oh, you're joking" and trying to deflect with humor. (You'd think I'd learn better, but decades of confusion come to haunt you when you're uncertain.) Finally, I just had to openly ignore her to the point where it was clear. To her credit, she accepted it maturely, but I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm gay. Whenever we talk and I mention I'm meeting someone on the weekend, she always asks if I'm going out with Mike (my best friend). She doesn't seem to think less of me, but I've wondered what how she'd react if she knew the truth.

@Joe Guzman as hard it is for sexuals to find companionship (unless you aren't very choosy which is a whole other story) it must be even harder for aces who want a 'steady' friendship that excludes sex. I wonder if this is where polyamorous arrangements come about? (The female if she is sexual has two male friends, one sexual and one asexual)

Well, this is an Ace Moment for me as well, ten years in the making.

I just meant it as melons, like boobs.  I only recently learned about the peaches, in the last couple months.

Wait, that's not what that was? 😓Though, how do we know that we're not the ones who are right and the Tumblr poster/other people are just reading too much into it because they see sex in everything?

We just got to assume it in allo society.

True, but I still feel like sex isn't always the answer/the intention, even if that is what people read into a situation. Idk in this case, and I don't know if J.K. Rowling has or will clarify it, so I'll go with my own head-cannon because it makes me feel better, haha. The Harry Potter series has always been remarkably non-sexual too...unless I'm missing a lot, which is totally possible.

The other day my family was watching Family Feud and I had a little satisfaction moment when sex wasn't an answer up there.

Ah, fair enough.  tbh, the peaches thing kind of reminds me of something.

 

So, I was playing Dragon Age: Inquisition and 2 of the characters were talking to each other (Blackwall and Sera).  One of the characters (Blackwall) was interested in another character and the other character (Sera) had brought up the subject, iirc.  The dialogue goes like this:

 

Sera: "You're all shy!  What you think you can't treat her right?"

 

Blackwall: "No, it's not-"

 

Sera: "I'll show you.  I just need a peach.  A ripe one, because if you do it right?  Ripe!  Down there."

 

Blackwall: "Please, no peaches, ripe or otherwise."

 

Sera: "Well, I can't teach you bananas!  That'd be like showing you swords!  Oh!  Remember, do not use it like a sword."

 

Blackwall: "How do I make this stop?"

 

Now, normally I'm decent at picking up on innuendos, but that whole convo had me confused because I had no idea what Sera was talking about.  Then, a couple years later, I saw a peach emoji and I felt like an idiot for not getting it sooner.  Talk about ace moments.
