Then you're not as asexual as you think, given that that's a real, live body you want to roll around with. You just haven't personally met somebody who floats your boat, yet.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you assuming that they wanted to sexually roll around with Sam? Because they didn't say that.

Or are you assuming that asexuality means that you hate that the fact human beings are entombed in empty, dead flesh?

[(Anonymous)]

If English isn't your first language, you must be really sheltered to not know the sexual idiom that "rolling around" is.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

Is English your first language? Because you appear not to realize that a phrase can be an idiom, but an idiom can also have a literal interpretation. For example, if I'm guessing how many jellybeans are in a jar and I get the exact number correct, I've hit the nail on the head. If I'm putting together a bookshelf and I pick up a hammer and nail together two boards, I've also hit the nail on the head.

Not everything that might be an idiom IS the idiom. You have to go by context.

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's a difference between rolling around/cuddling and fucking somebody.

I roll around with my dog and we're not boning, but she is a nice cuddler and it's fun and cozy.

[(Anonymous)]

It can be used as a sexual idiom, but it does not necessarily have to be. I can see why someone might have thought that OP meant it in a sexual way, definitely, but I think it's more likely that OP meant it in a non-sexual way, and I understood it in that way, and I don't think there was anything wrong or misleading in that usage.

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, semantics wank! This should be fun.

*makes popcorn*

[(Anonymous)]

It's not really so much a semantics debate as it is one person who thinks they understand what an idiom is, but doesn't really. I'm just not sure if they're ignorant, or trolling.

Hmm.

[(Anonymous)]

NA

The fact that the secret poster wrote 'on' rather than 'with', along with the simile, made me assume that they meant it literally, rather than idiomatically.

Re: Hmm.

[(Anonymous)]

But what about Tumblr, anon

What about Tumblr

Re: Hmm.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

The evil that lurks in the heart of the internet (until the next thing, at least)?

Since Tumblr does not seem to understand what literally means (yeah, okay, it's not just Tumblr), I suppose I can explain - it is when the words actually mean what they mean - they are not figurative or metaphorical or a euphemism for anything. Like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbQD3tjOLow, with secret poster in place of the cat and a shirtless Sam in place of the sunlit concrete.

[diet_poison]

Seriously? Did you really just pull "you're not really ace, you just haven't met the right person!"?

I really don't understand why people say this

[(Anonymous)]

I did, because based on what OP said about themselves, they do not meet the definition of asexual. Because wanting to sex with a real person? Not asexual. Jared Padalecki - the body containing Sam Winchester - is a real person.

[(Anonymous)]

Rolling around on someone =/= sex, though.

[(Anonymous)]

How would you approach a man who self-identifies as gay who has a single woman that he wants to have sex with?

Would you insist that - no matter what he says - he's really biseuxal?

(Setting aside the fact that OP probably didn't mean "roll around" in a sexual sense)

[(Anonymous)]

Um, yes? Because that's literally what bisexuality is "gay/straight ONLY FOR YOU!" is a bullshit concept.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't be so rude as to tell him how to define himself.

But would I think he is actually bisexual? Hell yes.

[(Anonymous)]

They never said they wanted to have sex with anyone, fictional or real. Rolling around like a cat in sunlight does not equal sex.

[(Anonymous)]

Asexual is a spectrum tho. So literally you can be asexual because you HAVE to meet the right person/know them a a while to be attracted.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. Asexuality is a pretty vast spectrum. Anything from being repulsed at the mere idea of sex, to just not being interested in sex, to not particularly desiring sex but having some anyway, and approximately a bajillion variations in between. Finding someone attractive doesn't mean OP can't be asexual.

[(Anonymous)]

Ahahahaha. This shit is hilarious. Shine on, you crazy delusional diamonds.

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmm, this definition is uncannily similar (by which I mean EXACTLY THE SAME) to demisexuality, which people shit all over and call not a thing.

[(Anonymous)]

then every person alive is on the "spectrum" of asexuality since sometimes they don't want to have sex

this is why people laugh at tumblr aces

[diet_poison]

They...didn't say that? At all? They didn't even come close to saying that??

Seriously, read the secret again. And stop trying to insist your interpretation of it must obviously be correct even though it's the one that goes against what OP is saying about themselves, and it requires more of a stretch.

because trolls or assholes (or both...both is good)
