SwiftySpeedy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Sometimes when I tell my friends, friends about the fact I'm asexual and aromantic (aroace) they usually will sometimes poke fun at it and make small jokes about me mastur- I just hate it you know what I mean or being romantically attracted to women. How do I get them to not do that and understand that I don't feel sexual or romantic attraction. And I said my friends, friends not just my normal friends.

HelloThere Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I honestly have no idea, school in general has always been a pain when it came to dirty jokes or relationship drama. It just gets so fricking old and I find it frustrating to say the least. I don’t think there is a way but maybe just expressing that you really don’t find this comfortable in a serious talk is the best answer. If they’re your actual friends they’d know when they crossed a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 My Mom used to make jokes like that sometimes. She stopped when I got older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You can't make anyone do anything. Does all your friends do it some of the time or is it a few of them specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Talk about how it makes you uncomfortable and is not ok. And if they keep going, well... find more accepting friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I think the best solution is to tell them that it's making you uncomfortable and ask them to stop. If they're really your friends, then they should do it straight away. But if they don't, I suggest finding new, accepting friends, because respecting someone's identity is the bare minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
