Arsenic Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We already had the aro moments. Now, the ace version of it. I'll start. Some time ago I was walking on the beach with a friend of mine, and after a few time we arrived to a place where everyone was naked. We saw a beautiful girl, and my friend said that he felt embarrassed while looking at her. My response was 'but there is nothing to be ashamed for! It is like watching a beautiful art piece... Like being on a museum. It is nothing wrong with appreciating her beauty?'. My friend put on a weird face, like he didn't understand me. He said 'uhm...well...yeah, I guess...' Now I look back in time and realize we didn't see the situation the same way. While I was feeling aesthetic attraction, and appreciated the beauty of that girl like if I was looking at a good organised library or something like that, my friend wanted to do the nasty with her. I thought everyone appreciated naked bodies in the aesthetic way, not in the sexual way. How did it take me so long to figure out my identity? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Ace moments.... basically any time people talk about feeling sexual attraction. I'm like "that's a thing?!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 A recent ace moment was when I watched the first season of the Witcher again but this time with a female friend (I watched it the first time with two of my male friends) and Geralt is sitting in a bath tub. My friend gasped and said ‘oh my, look at him!’ and I said ‘Yeah I know right, that poor guy, probably hasn’t had anything to drink for a whole day for his muscles and veins to stand out like that, and then they make you sit in a bathtub!’ There was a small pause and my friend replied with ‘No I meant he looks really sexy?’ So I said ‘Oh! Of course you meant that.’ And we just laughed about it. (She knows I’m aroace) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 So in my high school (I work there, I am not a student, for context), me and the nurse are working to increase the LGBT+ knowledge and awareness. Today she gave me some suggestions for the library of the school (as this is where I work). She includes a book about asexuality, and I didn't even ask, she just thought about us on her own. (and I somehow come out to her after that) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queer_kaleidoscope Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I only realized a few days ago that the song "Cake by the Ocean" is not in fact about cake. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiDisarray Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 When I hear people genuinely describe celebrities and whatnot as sexually attractive and I'm just confused like, "???Why would you think about them like that???" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piroshki101 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 A lot of things...but mainly how I'd sometimes just forget that people you know actually have you know sex. Also not understanding celebrity crushes that were probably sexual in some way...I was like "What do you mean?! There's a standard?! What is going on?!". I just thought that they were all beautiful, or thought that they were cool people, so yeah...still don't' get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be like "well if two people wanted to have sex, why would they not" and be told that they may just not be into each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I saw a post online about body modifications and I was suddenly reminded of an ace moment I had when I was in art school. We were watching a documentary about body art/modifications and there was a woman showing off her tongue, which had been split at the tip. She was demonstrating how she could wiggle the two tips of her tongue separately. Several people were giggling, which turned into laughter when I commented: ‘Wow, imagine how fast she can eat an ice cream cone!’ Edited August 17, 2022 by Nix Spelling 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilikecats Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I wonder, would it be the same with a split tongue, or would it actually help you eat ice cream? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, I just thought it would be like two people licking an ice cream at the same time, from both sides. Shame I don’t know anyone irl that has a split tongue, because I would like to know 🤔 Edited August 24, 2022 by Nix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collie Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Sometimes sex just feels completely foreign to me. Like..... people really do that? It's not an urban legend?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an urban legend?? Same. It is a bit hard to explain but it is like for me, sex is not part of my world : it is not that I want or don't want it, it just doesn't exist. I have to remind that for most people it is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
