Are there people whom you look at, but don’t experience sexual attraction to?
Imagine that’s every person. No matter who they are or what they look like, they’re just… other humans. You never have any desire, nor need to be close with someone. That entire part of life just doesn’t exist.
Now imagine that every time you get turned on, it’s just the “physical” aspects. You feel the hormones, the need to release some tension. But it’s never tied to a particular person or body part.
The sensation is akin to being hungry, but not “in the mood” to eat anything
I should note, that this is just my personal experiences, and is not universal. Some aces still want romantic relationships (I don’t: aka aroace).
Also, some aces are “sex averse”, and can even find masturbation annoying or unpleasant in some way
Alternatively, some aces can have fetishes or reliable turn-on’s
Locker room talk doesn’t literally have to happen in a locker room, it’s just slang for talking about womens sex appeal whilst in a group of men without any women present

Thank you. This actually really cleared up the middle row of the comic for me.

You know, you’re totally right, we “do” need a term for always being hungry but never in the mood to eat anything.
Maybe you’re ahungry
sorry, I’ll see myself out
But we already have that? The term is “being hungry”. Hunger and appetite are 2 different things, that’s why we have 2 different words for them
What is something you wish normies stopped doing to you?
Mostly ask when I’m gonna get a girlfriend / married / or have kids
Although, most of the relatives have stopped asking, or just accepted that I’ll always be single
Also, boy “locker room” talk always made me uncomfortable
Thanks for indulging me. If I may? I’m not from the U.S., didn’t have locker rooms in schools. What is locker room talk?
Mostly boys admiring the boobs or butts of girls
Them: “Yo man, check out her ass… She’s so hot”
How i want to reply: “Yep, that’s a gluteus maximus, although I don’t see her sweating”
I think we can all do without inappropriate meddling into one another’s lives and objectifying. Thanks again.

I’m not ace but I can’t stand that shit. Also the way men feel the need to subtlety bully each other as part of their friendship.
Thank you. This actually really cleared up the middle row of the comic for me.
