People: "You're gonna die a virgin!!"

Most Asexuals: "God I sure hope I do"

[MyNameHere]

The cake thing is a joke in the community: "Sex is fine but cake is better."

[onyxsavior]

“No sex for two years—“
Me, a 15 year old: *I am four parallel universes ahead of you*

[diamondgirlmc]

"Sexual Attraction makes you human"

Asexuals (including me): *WE'RE GODS*

[TheManWithTheFlan]

Marie Antoinette: "Let them eat cake"

Asexuals: **Polite Applause**

As an asexual person who has no sense of smell, I can confirm that the one about the perfume is 100% accurate in both instances

When I was younger, I thought “having a crush” was arbitrarily picking the most conventionally attractive boy in my class...

it's a "joke" in the ace community that we would rather eat cake than have sex, tbh cake is delicious and we all love it

No wonder the ace flag is so pretty. We love things that are aesthetically pleasing.

Explaining the cake thing: We often generalize the fact that eating good food is better than sex, so cake and garlic bread (among other things) as very popular feel-good foods have become symbols of asexuality. It's like tea drinkers vs. non-tea drinkers, many of the non-tea drinkers believe coffee is better than tea, thus coffee is often associated with people who don't drink tea.

Fun story!

My great aunt (who’s in her 70s) asked me what asexual meant. I explained and she realized that she’s actually ace. She had been in few romantic relationships and was never interested in a sexual relationship. This proves that asexuality isn’t just a new trend or whatever

[EchoGillette]

I'm using that perfume example forever

[melanopygus]

Cake is the oldest asexual symbol for 'sex is cool and all, but have you tried ___?' Basically aces would rather have cake than sex in every instance lol.
One that came after that was dragons. Why have sex when you could have a DRAGON or why be sexual when you could be a badass dragon?
More recently, garlic bread has become an ace symbol. Garlic bread is very much better than sex.

Black rings are a sign of asexuality within the community. Worn on the middle of the right hand, it means you're asexual. Worn on the middle of the left, it shows you're asexual and aromantic. It's a cool way to find fellow aces in the wild.

"Its so aesthetically pleasing"
me an ace: Oh yeah that's like a big part of it. You're getting it already.

To add to the perfume analogy, being demi is kinda like that, except one day someone you care about deeply makes their own perfume and suddenly you can smell it, but only that specific perfume. And then everyone sees this and starts spraying more perfume in your face saying "See? You could smell all along!" but you still can't smell any of their perfumes. It's just the one made by the person you care about and you still really wish everyone else would stop spraying other perfumes in your face.

[This_Is_Just_To_Say]

Someone: it's impossible to live a fulfilling life without sex
Aces: clearly you do not know about cake

[queenofsleepdeprivation]

As a kid I thought “liking” people was necessary and now I know that I’m a little older I understand. I find people attractive, but I don’t feel romantic attraction until I know the other person thinks I’m attractive as well. It’s hard to explain. Basically I just don’t feel attracted until I feel it back I guess?

[bendertherobot]

The cake thing is literally just. cake is good. I don’t want sex. I want cake.
Same thing with garlic bread and dragons.
Edit: I’m a disgrace to the ace-spec community. I forgot space and plants.
