Love it! lol

This is the type of stuff teachers need to do, form connections with students so they are more comfortable. That comfort makes it easier for them to focus, relax, and ask questions when they don’t understand.

What about cracking open a cold milkshake

[crystalsoulslayer]

As we all know, the milkshake brings the boys to the yard. The presence of the boys is a prerequisite for the cracking open of a cold one, but cold ones do not have any inherent boy-attracting abilities. Milkshakes, however, do. All else being equal, the boys would proceed to the milkshake yard. While it is possible to announce the presence of cold ones in the hope of attracting some boys, the pull of the milkshake is much more powerful by comparison.

mind you, all of this nonsense hinges on whether or not the boys are back in town

The nine types of people you meet when you come out as asexual

1. The unbeliever

“You’re just a late bloomer.”

“You’ll grow out of it.”

“You’re just saying that because you can’t get laid.”

“No way, you’re a man, men aren’t like that.”

“You’re just playing hard to get.”

“You just want attention.”

“You’re just trying to seem special/different/trendy.”

“No way, you’ve had sex before, you’re not asexual.”

“You must be faking it because natural selection wouldn’t allow asexuality to persist.”

2. The unwanted sympathizer

“I feel sorry for you.”

“Wow, that sucks.”

“You don’t know what you’re missing.”

“I can’t imagine a life without sex!”

“Your life must be so empty/lonely/pointless.”

“Aww, but I’m sure you’ll find someone who wants to date you!”

“You just haven’t met the right person yet.”

3. The intrusive questioner

“Do you masturbate?”

“What do your genitals look like?”

“Don’t you ever get horny?”

“What happens when you have a sex dream?”

“Is it because of your religion?”

“Do you have something wrong with your genitals?”

“Did somebody hurt you?”

“Were you sexually abused or something?”

“Did you get raped?”

4. The asshole questioner

“Do you reproduce by budding?”

“Do you still think [opposite sex] have cooties?”

“So are you in love with yourself?”

“Are you attracted to animals?”

“But everybody likes sex, what’s wrong with you?”

5. The unnecessary therapist

“Have you tried having your hormones checked?”

“You’re just afraid to get close to people.”

“You’re in denial about being gay.”

“You’re not asexual, you’re just shy/frigid/repressed.”

“You must be a psychopath.”

“You probably have [insert mental disorder here].”

“You should seek therapy.”

“Have you tried Viagra?”

“Do you think you’re not worthy of being loved?”

“But what if you change your mind some day?”

“You should keep an open mind in case you meet somebody special.”

“You’re afraid of sex/intimacy/falling in love.”

“If you don’t like sex then you must not have been doing it right.”

“How can you know you don’t want it if you’ve never tried it?”

6. The progressive who gets upset without having a clue what you’re talking about

“Stop slut-shaming people!”

“You’re being homophobic.”

“You’re appropriating the struggles of REAL queer people.”

“Since when have you ever been oppressed for NOT having sex?”

“That’s not a real sexual orientation.”

“What, do you think you’re better than me for not having sex?”

“You’re repressed, you need to be sexually liberated.”

7. The conservative who gets upset without having a clue what you’re talking about

“All women are like that.”

“You’re being selfish by not getting married.”

“If you don’t procreate, your life is pointless.”

“Not having sex is unnatural.”

“You’re sinning against God.”

“You have a duty to your parents/ancestors to give them grandchildren.”

8. The creep

“You just need to get laid.”

“I can change your mind.”

“I’m Robin Thicke.”

“Someone should just force you to have sex so you’ll realize you like it.”

9. The actually decent person

“You’re asexual? Okay, cool. Have you seen my keys, by the way?”

asexual representation in one post

[loopygiraffe]

Yesterday was a rather important day to me. 

I have for years been struggling to come to terms with my asexuality. 

Last year I attended London Pride, still closeted, and I still remember the moment when a happy group of aces paraded right past me. At that point I more or less realised that I could one day be okay with who I am. And I thought that perhaps one day I could perhaps be one of those happy parading aces that might help a closeted asexual amongst the crowds. 

I had been getting better over the year since London Pride 2016, but still wasn’t very confident. But a few months ago I found this beautiful ace-coloured shirt in a charity shop, and that was the moment I whole heartedly acknowledged who I am and realised.  

In the photo above you can see me (far left) with two of my wonderful best friends; Tami, and @spectreoffice. Besides being of the first handful of people who I trusted enough to tell them of my asexuality, they were able to come and support me from the crowds at London Pride 2017. I was nervous I have to admit. I was about to walk past thousands of people, openly admitting something I had spent several years hiding and hating. But the aces I met were all really lovely, and not surprisingly they knew exactly what I had been through, they all had much the same journey. On a tangent now, the point is that knowing that Tami and Rob were waiting to see me (even though it was ridiculously hot and we had been delayed by several hours) so they could cheer me on made me feel that I can still be loved and cared for, regardless of my asexuality which I had long considered a deficiency/defect. Moreover, they surprised me with very cute and punny signs! 

So all I can say is that this has been a difficult journey but yes I am asexual! andyes it has its bloody difficulties, but ultimately i’m just as deserving of being loved as everyone else is. 

Thanks again to all my wonderful friends who have been fantastic support, love you all dearly! 

And for anyone still reading but not sure what asexuality is, please read this and feel free to message me about any queries you may have :)

I just did an exam in a crop top, short shorts, and (near) ice water, fanning myself with a handheld fan as I went in. There’s a new lifetime experience!

Memorial to the Victims of Communism, This is located in Prague, Czech Republic. It shows seven bronze figures descending a flight of stairs. The statues appear more “decayed” the further away they are from you, losing limbs and their bodies breaking open. It symbolizes how political prisoners were affected by Communism. (Source)
