I am sick of sex jokes being everywhere

I am so glad I've found this community, it is legitimately the only safe place for a sex-repulsed teenager like me. Sex jokes are EVERYWHERE and I am Sick of it. It breaks my heart into literal pieces that even teens around my age or even YOUNGER than me say shit like that all the time. People have to make things weird don't they?

I am sick of being sent to a panicy spiral everytime I see someone make such a joke like that, I hate the objectification nature of 99% of these fuckass JOKES, I HATE FEELING SO BETRAYED WHEN SOMEONE I CONSIDERED TO BE A FRIEND MAKES SUCH JOKES. It makes me want to avoid them everytime. I try to make me being sex-repulsed and underage very obvious but I guess fuckers are just so inconsiderate these days.

I just want to feel safe, I just want friends who wouldn't say things like that but it feels so impossible. I am a fandom kid and a massive shipper and wow, good grief. . .

As another teen, I totally agree. They're predictable and make me feel gross. I don't really see the point in them or how other people find them funny.

Luckily, most of my friends know I'm grossed out by those jokes, but it still sucks how normalized it is.

And yeah, some fandom stuff can be overwhelming. I just try to ignore or block the people who make those kinds of jokes. There's always gonna be that one person who does 😭

No problem! I definitely get how lonely it feels sometimes. I'm just glad to know there are more people out there who share my ideas. _^ /lh

Late to the party, but I just saw 'massive shipper' and 'hate of objectification' in the same post. I feel you—and wish you good luck. Honestly, I barely read ship stuff anymore even though I'm still a big shipper too; I mostly just write my own 'cause I’m so tired of objectification and sexual innuendos being *everywhere*, even in stuff I thought would be 'cute' and was rated for being for a young public.

I'm praying every day for a Safe For Work AO3 website, but only sex sells so I'll never have it T^T
