/u/stolichnayayaya on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

This is part of the reason I don’t go into the popular feed, only my home feed of subs I’m subscribed to. August 13, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/happy_fishstick on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

Yes, I found the setting already! :) Feels a lot better now, hehe. August 13, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/Appropriate_Baker831 on Ace-spec?

Thank you for this it was actually really helpful and I'll definitely be reading that!! August 13, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/DuBistSehrDoof on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

reddit just automatically didn’t allow me to view any NSFW subreddits, post or profiles. i haven’t tried posting anything NSFW so i don’t know if it’d let me, but im not gonna try anywho, to answer your question, yes, there should be. i think it’s just if you go to settings as in the phone app and find the app reddit and change it there, but idk for if you’re on computer or something August 13, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/UkuMilosaur on My journalism article after the survey I posted a while ago.

Yeah probably. I was trying to find it but I could never get a exact date so I might remove the year from the article August 13, 2021 at 12:00AM

Pizza and Garlic bread are both good... So garlic pizza is obviously the best! August 12, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on My journalism article after the survey I posted a while ago.

'a joke which originated on the AVEN website in early 2012'. I saw posts from the AVEN forums dating from 2009 where the users posted about cake and use it as an emoticon. I think the inside joke about cake was 'created' earlier than 2012, but I'm not sure. August 12, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/justobsolete on How am I supposed to have fun at college?

Join a club or two, maybe join a (non-scholarship) sport, and go to school-hosted events (concerts, poker nights, dances, etc.). August 12, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/justobsolete on Ace-spec?

Identity is not like a diagnosis or math equation. You can't just put in X and Y and press the button and get an exact answer back. Because that's not how identity works. That's not how humans work. There is no "objectively" being any identity, tbh. Identity is totally subjective. The important considerations to choosing your label should be: Do I want to use this label? Does it make me happy/comfortable to use this label? Does using this label help me connect to a community of people with similar experiences/to whom I relate? Does this label help me communicate my feelings to others? You are right that gray-asexual is indeed vague! That's because it is an umbrella term for any asexual spectrum experience. (Asexual is, too, but gray-asexual is a way for people to specify that they are are asexual but do still experience sexual attraction in some way, shape, or form.) There is no one way to be gray-asexual. It is a conglomeration of experiences to desi

/u/YoungRevolutionary27 on Black Rings

I’m really sorry to break this to you but the ring you’re talking about wasn’t a trend, it was an ad. I saw it all the time on Instagram where it stood out a lot more because it was marketed on meme pages so it was obvious they just wanted you to buy their shitty ring that was gonna break in two months August 12, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/DigitalPhoenixX on And this is why it’s so difficult dating as an asexual. I get messages like THIS. Sir my profile says I’m asexual 🤦🏻‍♀️

“The only sex that is happening in this household is the IRS fucking our income.” August 12, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/MoonWabbit5683 on Black Rings

It doesnt really suit my sense of style to have a solid black ring, tho one day I might get a ring with a black gemstone or something? I do wear the colors sometimes when I want to feel very out and proud about it. August 12, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/RndmRedditGirl on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

No problem! Always love helping other people out! August 12, 2021 at 11:51PM

/u/GeorgeForemanGrilll on do you guys like talking about sex but not in a sexual way but in a way where sex is interesting?

Yeah. I find it fascinating to try to understand sex and everything surrounding it from an outsider perspective. I luckily have a lot of friends who are willing to answer my (probably dumb) questions about sex. August 12, 2021 at 11:51PM

/u/unamablemove on hey is it okay if i come out to you all real quick

I'm 24 and I've decided to just play the long game and laugh as my parents grow more and more concerned about me never dating or marrying. I do want to have at least one kid via sperm donor so they'll get a grandkid. But no marriage! August 12, 2021 at 11:50PM

/u/RndmRedditGirl on sexual attraction vs romantic attraction

Start with the similarities- "You see someone attractive." Then describe sexual attraction as wanting to have sex with that attractive person and romantic attraction as wanting to date that attractive person. You can then say that you don't really feel urges to have sex with attractive people but that you still want to date attractive people. I hope this helps you and your mom out.

/u/LukariBRo on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

It's not just Reddit, though. It's the whole damn world. Most people are predispositioned to have the weakness of sexual attraction, and when they're not busy making bad decisions because of it, they're busy trying to get other people to make bad decisions because of it. Reddit is extremely general and a decent representation of the population at-large, so of course it'll be no different. The only option if you don't want to be exposed to it is to buckle down and modify your experience, the tools exist. August 12, 2021 at 11:45PM

/u/RndmRedditGirl on I like anime, but I have a problem with it

I love the anime art style, but I really don't appreciate the 'fanservice,' among other issues (*cough* transphobia *cough*). Manga and even fan art also suffer from this, so yeah, I understand what you're talking about clearly. August 12, 2021 at 11:44PM

/u/Competitive-Win-3497 on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

Thanks I was in my phone settings not the apps lol THANKS!! August 12, 2021 at 11:44PM

/u/rudreax on Vent: libido and attraction are different, right? Sex neutral and sex favorable access exist, right?

So as someone who recently thought he was sex-fav ace, then demi, but now knows he's just sex-averse sex-positive ace...I see the point of what people in that thread are saying. Yes, aces can have sex, have high libido, and be favorable. These aces absolutely exist (under another account, I used to rally in their defense often as I was sure I was one of them). However I'm willing to say that most people out in the wild who use the term "asexual" are using it to signify they don't want to have sexual relationships at any point in their lives. Research, self-report studies, personal, and anecdotal experiences all seem to correlate with this. Similar to how most men who use "gay" mean they want to have sex with men. And how most who use "demi" will need more than a few months to feel sexual attraction to someone. There will always be outliers to labels, but as someone who used to identify as an outlier I'd saying using the label comes with

/u/internetpornlord on Seems like my whole family is transphobic (probably aphobic too)

I often tell people to just imagine you were born into a body that is the opposite sex of yours. It's still you on the inside. Same thoughts, aspirations, dreams and desires. Now imagine trying to fit in and deal with it. Do you live a lie and be uncomfortable for your hole life? Or do you just live who you are. August 12, 2021 at 11:35PM

/u/RndmRedditGirl on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

Under User Settings, go to feed settings. The very top option should be to disable NSFW content showing up in your feed and search results. Now you can reddit without being bombarded by NSFW content! August 12, 2021 at 11:34PM

/u/cumbag666 on I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.
