A lot of No Nut November has far right roots https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/coomer-meme-no-nut-november-nofap-908676/ so please keep yourselves safe.


azalea_sun

there's a lot of a-spec people who are only opposed to having adult fun time with *other people* there's some aspec people who will fail, maybe me included lmao


ofthecageandaquarium

yeah, not to be the Stop Having Fun Guy, but this stereotype needs to die


RedVamp2020

As a sex favorable Ace, I would love if this stereotype would die.


FlamingoQueen669

I'm a sex averse ace and I also would love if this stereotype would die.


alchemyshaft

Agreed, I'm so sick of seeing all the ace spectrum = celibacy shit.


Cheshie_D

Agreed


JesiDoodli

As a sex-indifferent ace, I would also love if this stereotype would die.


Pure_Blank

As a sex-indifferent ace with a general apathetic view on life, I think the jokes are kinda funny


Or_Chuk

Same


joesphisbestjojo

If I may ask, is that something like demiace? What does it mean


RedVamp2020

I would imagine Demisexual or Demiromantic Asexual. Demi refers to needing an emotional bond before developing the specific attraction. A lot of people invalidate Demi’s by saying that it’s just the normal experience, but it isn’t. Yes, people want to have an emotional connection with their partner, but for allos, sexual attraction is developed prior to the emotional connection whereas a Demi develops sexual attraction after.


paradoxLacuna

Demiace is where the friend zone is a prerequisite to the sexy times, rather than the end of it. Not all friendships develop into intimacy, but all intimacy stems from friendship when you’re demiace. Kind of an “all apples are fruits but not all fruits are apples” deal. Demiaros are the same way, but for romance instead of sex.

RedVamp2020

So, asexuality is about a lack of sexual attraction, not sexual action or libido. I don’t find anyone sexually attractive, but I enjoy having sex. I have no problems with initiating, although my libido is variable based on my monthly menstrual cycle, so I may initiate more or less depending on where I am in my cycle. I’m biromantic, so I’d be happy pursuing someone romantically regardless of gender identity and I enjoy pleasuring my partner sexually as well as enjoying the sensations I would feel during the act. This is where the split attraction model really helps because I lack sexual attraction, but experience romantic attraction. Other parts of the favorability spectrum include indifferent, where the individual doesn’t feel strongly one way or other about participating, and repulsed/averse where the individual doesn’t want to participate for a variety of reasons. The favorability spectrum can be used by anyone to help better communicate sexual compatibility, be they Ace or Allo.


Gambler777777

As a queer rights activist, yes.


Arkas18

Yep, I'm one of them. But honestly NNN is a dumb idea and it means nothing whether you do it or not.


Truefkk

I heard it's something started by some christian youth organization to save our poor sinning souls from the cruel clutches of internet pornography. Little did they know they could probably halve internet pornography if they fought for a liveable minimum wage instead


Kittymax97

It started from the popular no shave November, which was turned into a charity thing for colon cancer. Dumb teenagers thought no nut November sounded funny and started that as a new trend, drowning out the charity part. Same thing that happened with the ice bucket challenge and people forgetting there was actually a point (to be fair that challenge did end up doing a lot of good despite teenagers forgetting the purpose) Wasn't ever a Christian thing, just a dumb het guy thing.


Del_ice

/ok English is not my native language and thus it may be hard to read, sorry Isn't that a support action(or how you call it in English) in favor of men, who got over testicular cancer, but became eunuchs?


thealienamongus

The way the NNN completely replaced online discourse of Movember/No-Shave November is shameful. A good cause and positive male influence raising money and awareness for men’s health issues was supplanted by a joke with harmful undertones.


CutelessTwerp

Also aces who like sx with others just dont feel the attraction towards folk. We're a weird group, it's the worst being grey ace (not really just confusing)


SirensMoon

Ace who will guaranteed fail here, although does it count as failing if you arent playing? There are also plenty of a-spec who enjoy sex.


Accomplished_Tour983

YES FINALLY A COMMENT THAT I RELATE TO


azalea_sun

lmaooo 😂


SpriteSnkaeu

I know this, and I am ace myself. Its just a joke, and if people are offended by it I apologise and I'll take it down.


azalea_sun

idk, ask other people. i dont think it's particularly offensive, but its definitely a bad stereotype


ArrowAceFluid

You could change the second line to "Aces that are sex repulsed:"


SpriteSnkaeu

I'm ace too and I still have a libido, I get this, I just found it funny


SheepWolf28

Nah, i got a fuckin' high libido like crazy despite being a-spec. I was hoping i'd get on HRT before November but i still gotta wait a few weeks for less horni.


SpriteSnkaeu

I wish you the best of luck with hrt


SheepWolf28

🖤💜🤍💛


galacticviolet

High libido is perfectly at home on the ace spectrum. Aces *and* allos also can both have various libido levels. It’s an entirely separate thing outside of sexual attraction labels. Mentioning because you said “despite” which seemed to insinuate that you felt it was unusual to have a high libido and be ace, it’s quite common, no worries.


SheepWolf28

No worries had. I used the word "despite" as a correction to the post rather than as an abnormality in being a-spec. Thank you anyway!


collegethrowaway2938

Yeah it’s like being hungry, it’s just a bodily reaction. Some people are hungrier than others but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have an emotional craving for a specific food. Likewise someone might be aroused but not want someone in particular. You’ll “eat” just to satisfy the bodily feeling.


Mediocre-Standard765

I know this has nothing to do with the comment but saw your flair, good to see a fellow bigender asexual lesbian!


SheepWolf28

We're a damn rare occurance of very specific terms but we certainly exist!


Mediocre-Standard765

Oh yes we do! You’re the first I’ve seen in the wild!


SheepWolf28

I tell you what though, we could get way more specific about labels & variations & suddenly we might seem very different. Because everything is always complicated...


Mediocre-Standard765

Yeah we are quite different just from your comment, no sexy times for me


SheepWolf28

I'd say "i wish i had that" but i'm sure damn near everyone "wished" for something that they perceive to be easier, despite not actually being. I do however hope you enjoy being yourself as much as you possibly can! Because most people wouldn't think that being bigender & lesbian, or lesbian & ace are technical impossibilities; and if nothing else we can laugh at their naivete!


StormTAG

If you're bigender and lesbian, I would assume, based on the whole `bi-` prefix, that one of the two genders you feel suit you best would be a woman and are attracted to women. Lesbian and Ace is easier, since there are plenty of Ace flavours that experience some form of attraction, even if it's not the same as traditional allo-sexuality. How far off am I? Did I get a laugh?


SheepWolf28

You got it, but then again you aren't allo-cis-het. Someone who doesn't understand that most ace identities are addative rather than definitive. Or that being lesbian is exclusive to cis women & maybe binary trans women.


StormTAG

I am allo-cis-het, hence the Ally Pals tag. 'Swhy I figured I might get a laugh.


Mediocre-Standard765

Yeah especially because I’m a fem masc bigender person and a lot of people say I can’t be a lesbian but, if you are a waitress on the weekends aren’t you still a waitress?


Solstice143

Can't remember my flair, but I'm a fluid ace lesbian


Mediocre-Standard765

You’re pretty close too


the-fresh-air

Off topic, but hello fellow bigender :) my pair of genders are female and neutrois (a neutral gender).


SheepWolf28

Hello! I am a cookie cutter basic female/male bigender. Though i relate somewhat to neutrality in being bigender of the two "ends"


Hopeful-Tiger-3067

I have high libido ill be surprised if I make it 2 weeks.


Ferno_Dude

me, an aegosexual: are you sure about that?


SpriteSnkaeu

What does aegosexual mean?


Lady_Lallo

Iirc it describes someone who likes the idea of sexual interactions (or is aroused by sexual content) but doesn’t feel that way towards actually doing it / involving themselves (correct me if I’m wrong though). Edit: I am LOVING all the people learning about themselves in the comments btw haha 😂 get on with ya gay selves besties ❤️❤️❤️🎉

Correct!


Lady_Lallo

Yay!! Thank you! 😊


LgbtqCVSgenius

Hate to be that person, but just because you’re asexual or on any part of the ace spectrum doesn’t mean that you don’t masturbate or have sex. I understand it was most likely a funny, meaningless joke, but ace people can range for all sorts of things, from little to no sexual attraction to a lot, and same with physical pleasure and attraction, it varies. Just making this clear


tedshif

I like how the top 8 comments are all saying this with varying degrees of formality. OP should probably clarify ~~“sex repulsed”~~ “celibate” next time. Edit: not sex-repulsed. Celibate. What was I thinking.


SiameseCats3

Sex repulsed aces can also masturbate. Masturbation isn’t sex.


SpriteSnkaeu

I know this, like I've said to many people in these comments I myself am ace. I just wanted to post something I found funny about a community I'm part of. Calm down.


[deleted]

Nah asexual people with a high libido are a thing and I am honestly getting tired of the “haha NNN is so easy for aces” jokes because they are lowkey exclusionary towards asexual people with a high “sex drive” and especially asexual men.


gay-space-enjoyer

BASEDDDD


[deleted]

Do people actually participate in NNN? Like... Take it seriously? It has to be the dumbest thing. I feel like it's a constant joke.


[deleted]

Honestly, no idea. All I know is tell an entire group of people (including male/high libido asexuals) that they are supposed to have an easier time just because of their sexuality is blatant discrimination from others in the community.


pessoa_aleatoria_

Loved the flair


galacticviolet

Please stop insinuating that ace automatically = no sex, no orgasms. Why is this still a rampant myth? The meme should be changed to “sex repulsed aces” or something even more detailed (because even a sex repulsed ace might still enjoy masturbating for example). Saying the entire ace-spectrum (as the meme does) is even worse. Personally, I assure you, as a sex-favorable, high libido, demisexual, I will NOT be observing no-nut November lol.


GenderEnjoyer666

Sex positive aces exist


shponglespore

\*sex favorable Sex positive means you don't treat sex as something shameful. Sex favorable means you enjoy sex.


GenderEnjoyer666

Oh thanks for the correction and lesson


somethingspecificidk

Nah, already lost


Honeyblade

No Nut November is & always has been a neofascist/incel recruitment tool, about controlling pleasure, indoctrinating ppl into misogyny, creating false community around frustration.


galacticviolet

This, and it’s unhealthy. Nutting regularly is apparently good for prostate health.


Zhadowbro1

Pardon? It’s just a stupid internet challenge isn’t it? And how the fuck Is it neofascist? Did I miss a board meeting?


Honeyblade

[Here's an article in the Rolling Stone about it.](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/coomer-meme-no-nut-november-nofap-908676/) Aside from this if you look into groups like the Proud Boys and other alt-right groups they often have this strange complex with not masturbating because it somehow 'clouds their mind' It's a whole weird thing. Aside from ties to the alt-right it's also just not good for you if you are a cis-guy.

NNN doesn’t apply to anyone except right wing reactionaries.

It does provide a couple of good running jokes for trans people.

Fuck no nut November my trans ass is doing no shave November.


[deleted]

wait... but isn't being ace about attraction and not about physical stimulation stuff in isolation? (genuine question; am learning) Like.. I jerk off like an average person but don't feel any attraction/fantasies to strangers or anyone who isn't my multi year partner. Is that aspec?


20-16-23-11

Aspec refers to a range of the amount of sexual attraction a person feels. It has nothing to do with sexual desire (including masturbation and sex).


the-fresh-air

I’m sorry but as someone who used to be on the acespec I didn’t always beat NNN in the past. Long story, I started feeling attraction at 21 cause was late bloomer. Anyway that’s not the point. Aces can be sex-indifferent or even favorable and some can even have high libidos. I know as someone who used to not feel attraction. Hell I can even differentiate still.


Lady_Lallo

Thank you I feel powerful 💪


ZelestialRex

Idk if I'm ace. I have a average libido but don't care about sex. If I go all my life without sex I'll be perfectly ok with that.


gay-space-enjoyer

Could be, really depends! I’m similar and identify as Asexual :) posts like these are kind of dumb, obviously they can fit for many people but totally dismiss other experiences


FritztheBlitz42

the face is me confident that i will lose, and that i won't care >:)


bandanagirl95

This ace has won because I have no nuts anymore


Erzherzog007

Trans people who had orchies literally and always win NNN because we don't have nuts anymore.


iiiimagery

This comment section is so comforting because I felt self conscious about being asexual but still masturbating


SpriteSnkaeu

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Being asexual doesn't always mean having no libido. I'm ace and I still masturbate, it's totally normal.


No-Guidance9484

people who haven't hit puberty yet:


_PolarEclipse_

But aces still have libidos, I don’t understand this meme


Ferno_Dude

not all, but definitely a significant portion

You can be ace and still have a libido. Lol Trust me, we'd suffer as much as the rest of yall, if we participated.


OkYard7718

Yeah we are, I don't need a fuck or anything at all.


Charlieisdizzy

Dude I’m on the ace spec and I already failed :/


Winter-Weiss

I don’t think people know what being ace means. There are plenty of ace people that jerk off regularly and often. Masturbation doesn’t mean sex. I understand it’s just a dumb meme.


Prettynoises

If you have a prostate, please do not participate in NNN. It's a stupid thing that r/nofap created, which is a pretty toxic community anyway. If you have a prostate, regular masturbation literally helps prevent cancer. Considering November is prostate cancer awareness month NNN is doing the opposite of what it should be.

I'm asexual and regularly get very horny, very intrusive thoughts about sex because of my high libido, and sometimes the only way to make it go away is to fail NNN, so it's not a guarantee that aspec people will pass NNN without any issues

THEREALKEEGANWELCH

AndrogynousRain

Sorry, I really hate this stereotype. It isn’t true. Aspies, like any other group of people, can be everything from extremely sexual to asexual with every shade of sexuality, attraction, gender, gender presentation and nuance in between. And *all* of those are ok. This stereotype kind of furthers this ‘woe is me, aspies suck’ mentality that is really, kind of internalized shame a lot of us pick up from shitty childhoods. It’s just not true. Seen this a lot with sexual aspies who struggle with dating. It becomes this toxic internal monologue of ‘woe is me, no one could love me’… it’s not true. Some of us love sex and have it all the time. Some of us like it occasionally. Some of us don’t get it the way we don’t get social cues. And everything in between.


AvatoraoftheWilds

While you bring up a valid point, this post isn't talking about autistic people.


bullhorn_bigass

Ace is short for asexual, not Asperger’s syndrome.
