Guess which oblivious asexual virgin just accidentally bought her first vibrator?
This guy. *points both thumbs at my beet red face*
I got my tax return and wanted to buy a couple things for personal comfort before all the money goes into car repairs. Specifically I’ve wanted one of those hang-over-your-chair back massage things for my computer chair, and figured I could also find a cheap handheld massage gun to get rid of those stress knots that live rent free in my shoulder blades when I’m away from my desk.
So what do I do? I do an internet search for “handheld massage gun” and read through a dozen products and reviews. And APPARENTLY my mind is so far removed from sexual thoughts that nothing pinged on the mental radar that this was anything besides a massage gun to relieve muscle stress. (There were several very obvious vibrators and dildos that popped up in the search that I ignored and filtered out of the search, but the one I bought was this)
Product title: Handheld massager.
Product description: “Rechargeable personal hand held deep tissue vibrating massager for muscles, back, foot, neck. Cordless electric percussion body massage gift for women.”
IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THIS BEING A SEX TOY. IT SAYS BACK FOOT AND NECK. NOTHING ABOUT GENITALS AND ORGASMS. I truly thought the “for women” was because the handle was pink. Figured I’d be paying the pink tax because it’s a cute color and I like cute things.
But soon as I open the brown box it got mailed in, I see this on the actual product packaging:
And the truth hits me like a cement truck.
What the fuck. I don’t wanna fuck. Why did they send me this fuck machine? Well fuck me I guess (but don’t really) because I must have been shipped the wrong thing and now have to return this and file a complaint to get the thing I wanted.
But no. The product number is the same. This is what I paid for.
Do allosexual people use their vibrators as massage guns for other parts of their body? I’ve never heard of that. But I also don’t follow conversations about sex toys. Because I don’t care and it kinda squicks me. Why wouldn’t the product description be clear about what this is? Why trick this poor asexual by claiming it’s a handheld back massager? (I mean, I guess technically it can be used on any part of the body I wish, but why? Why? Why market it this way?)
I have “Ace Until Proven Guilty” in my bio as a joke because too many people equate asexuality with innocence and infantilize us regardless of whether we’re sex-positive, -negative, or -neutral. I’m all for people using any sex toy they want but it’s not my thing so WHY WOULDN’T THEY STATE WHAT IT IS IN THE SALES PITCH instead of misleading me, a person who hasn’t seen a large variety of vibrators and wouldn’t recognize one on sight?
Guess I’ve been Proven Ace once again.
(It’s okay to laugh at me. This is kinda funny. If annoying.)

thinking bout how 2 yrs ago I put my pronouns in my email signature at work and was v nonchalant about it and one of my coworkers approached me at my desk while my other coworkers were standing right there and started scolding me and telling me I’m not allowed to express “personal opinions” in an email signature and kept telling me I was gonna get in trouble and I was like??? They are…pronouns?? It’s not even an….opinion? Everyone….uses pronouns??
Flash forward to now, and pretty much all the attorneys now have their pronouns in their email signature just cause

Ozzie please bear with me as it is probably a fever dream from the flu and binge watching Yellowstone, but I dreamed about Cowboy/Rancher!Joel last night. I don’t remember much of it, but he did brand me with a JM and told me if I ever ran away that whoever took me in would just return me straight to him.
dark cowboy!joel miller you say...

Clarice: you brought flowers? I guess i’ll have to spread my legs
Hannibal: why? You dont have a vase?
Why can I actually picture this scenario folding out??
*Clarice in her nightgown, wearing nothing underneath*
"Oh nooo, where should I place these delicate and charming little things?"
*Hannibal, being the blown out idiot he is*
"I think a vase would be an appropriate place? even a big glass of water can suff-"
*she is now naked and on the floor*
"If only I could place them somewhere in me, so I could carry them to remind me of your big love for me"

Me remembering when Joseph Quinn said he’d love a role in Succession.
Now I need to see him as a cut throat, dirty mouthed asshole in an expensive suit.
PLEASE HBO MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE.
