I didn’t know where to ask and be open about this but this has been bothering me for a while.

Basically, I never had problems with questioning but I’ve been thinking for a while, is it weird that I’m ace as hell, but still find some of these jokes funny, like does that affect my asexuality at all? I always cursed like sailor so that was never the problem, but lately I’ve also started laughing my ass of on this types of jokes, like some stuff from straights is so hilarious sometimes even if I have 0 attraction to it.

So question for any aces here:

spoiler

besides the fact that I secretly like getting bitten

, do I still count as 100% asexual even if if I find that stuff funny and make jokes?

    You couldn’t possibly be weird for such a thing, there’s no “normal” to begin with aside from the exploitative and patriarchal relationships encouraged by capital. Feel yourself, enjoy yourself, don’t worry about labels and being a “real asexual”, whatever that means. You valid! These labels are here to find community with people with similar experiences and often include a wide variety of ppl with seperate interpretations of what it means to be asexual, trans, queer or otherwise, sometimes in contradiction with each other. But they’re just words to describe ourselves, when the only truth is the experiences you’ve had that have led you to describe yourself as such and the usefulness you find within.
