idk, they're probably just having fun with you. Glad you realize this about yourself, sounds like an epiphany. :) I always just figured you were modest about sex/sexual jokes, not necessarily ace. Do you think that you're aromantic as well?
Honestly I've only just been digging into something that to me was just a joke I told about myself for years, so getting a handle on it all has been quite a trip. There's even a flag I guess? I feel a little uncomfortable waving something like that around though, because I don't really feel like I deserve a spot with much more vast group that's suffered and continues to suffer massive cultural and legal oppression. In any case, I can say this much. I don't experience attraction. I can't say if I'm aromantic though. The idea of separating the two is also very new to me. In any case, as of right now all I can say with any certainty is I've got an aversion to sex in all it's forms, solo or couples or whatever, and that while past experiences I'd rather not go into do paint some of that it's a bit more complicated than just "oh hey trauma explains it". In any case, thank you! Like I said a post like this is a little outside my normal comfort zone but heck I've known you guys longer than some of my real world friends and felt like sharing.
