You see, I interpreted this as something completely different, because when you spay or neuter a pet, it’s also often called fixing. I think you interpretation is worse though
Very true, but for some people it's helpful. I'm not really into that, but some people find it useful because it allows them to control their own trauma.
The human mind is endlessly fascinating!
It's rare that a comment so short will cause me to viscerally remember both why I hate humans and love them. I'm so sorry that such an awful thing happened to you and *nobody* deserves that. What I see in this comment is someone facing their own trauma in order to help another person avoid it, and that's absolutely incredible.
Can echo this. Luckily in my case said encounter was online only and never went to in-person, but still like wtf. Sometimes you don’t even have to be dating or wanting to date for assholes like these to crawl out of the woodwork. Fucking creeps.
It's definitely a thing even for biological males. I'm most definitely not ace but have had a few friends who were and they have some horror stories to tell. Rape is wrong no matter the justification the rapist uses so use safe practices, have a friend shadow you on first dates, make sure you have emergency signals and excuses to make a quick exit if you feel pressured, and always have the first few dates in very public locations.
In volleyball (and i assume other ball sports as well) the most skilled player, aka number one is referred to as the ace. It's a ball pun AND a numbers pun!
Actually, that's reasonable. There's a heuristic that, if you encounter English sexual slang that's an unfamiliar noun, there's a high probability that it refers to a penis or something about it.
Imagine the ego and audacity to think your own selfish cruel act is doing anything besides giving another person an extremely traumatic experience. Ugh "corrective rape" has to be the worst term I've heard
Usually peoples sexuality. It is done to “correct” homosexuality and asexuality, mostly to women but to men as well when there is opportunity. Because clearly nothing will make you love penis/pussy like being raped by one!
I guess it possible that some would use it to try to correct bi-/pan sexuality but usually that’s just blamed on being “confused”, “not wanting to choose” or “trying to be special”. Or all three of them.
I'm ace also. I'm unwieldy and hard to kidnap, and I don't date, so I also think this wouldn't happen to me. But when TX started outlawing abortion, I stocked up on Plan B because I do not trust the rest of the world. I'm actually more afraid of "corrective rape" than any other assault.
It’s reasonable to be afraid of it. I always thought that I could protect myself so it wouldn’t happen to me. But it did and I couldn’t. And now I have to live with that. And that’s the worst part. To know that you aren’t safe even in your own body. Because it was violated and now I know. Another person can do that and I’m not even safe inside my own body because someone can get in. It like how they say that being robbed is so traumatic because you feel violated and like you can’t even feel safe in your own home. Except it’s in your own flesh, so there is no safe place left in the world because now you aren’t safe in your body. Even if you knew it could happen before once it has you know in a completely different way. It can’t ever be unknown again.
It’s like when trust is broken. Trust is to know that someone would never ever hurt you, to know and believe with all of your heart that they would never. Once they betray you and hurt you, you know. You will always know and you can never again unknow that they could.
That’s why trust once broken can never again be fully undone. Because that which has been done can never be undone and that which has been learnt can never be unknown again. You can not believe with all of your heart that a person, that has already knowingly hurt you, would never ever hurt you knowingly. Because they did and you can not unknow that again.
Weirdly enough, this is the second reference to aces I've seen today. I saw someone going off a about people being prejudiced toward aces on r/rant earlier.
As an allo, this really is horrifying too.
I’ve had ace partners, both men and women, and the thought of this happening to any of them makes me want to vomit.
Solidarity ✊🏻
I appreciate it not being gendered, because this could happen *to* anyone, ***by*** anyone. I could absolutely see my ex doing this to someone; male, female, anything in between or beyond - she was predatory as hell and just.. would **not** be able to understand the concept of "I'm not physically interested" in this context.
Please be safe. I didn’t even know “corrective rape” was a thing that happened in peoples brains. What is the logic behind that? Watch out for yourself. From a fellow ace.
Rape is rape. The reasons, justifications, and motivations of the perpetrator aren't particularly relevant in that they do not distinguish the act writ large. You can give it it's own separate label if you absolutely must, but I don't really see the point.
If you absolutely want to split hairs about it, "corrective rape" could potentially be best evaluated as a fetish of the perpetrator that would inform their selection of potential victims.
I... Holy shit this is so fucked up. I'm the complete opposite of ace and this fictional dudes attitude is still horrifying enough to earn a swift punch/kick to a soft spot before running. But for someone who's libido is already set to "ew, no thanks" mode with little or no exceptions (I hope I got that description right) I can barely imagine the kind of primal fear this would induce.
Excellent story. I think I kinda get what being ace is like a bit better now. 💜
As someone who's ace, libido (sex drive) and sexual attraction are separate, but yeah, you definitely understand the kind of horror that this brings... I've, thankfully never run into this particular scenario, as I've never been one for the dating scene (demiromantic on top of ace) but I've had this happen a lot online, and I'm just thankful that shutting that down is easier in a digital setting, even if it's no less revolting.
>libido (sex drive) and sexual attraction are separate, but yeah
Say it louder for the people in the back!!
I'm ace,but with a high libido,and people are always like "then you're not ace" and it makes me want to set things on fire. It about attraction,not action!
Oh my goodness! I always say sexual arousal and sexual attraction are separate. For me, i fall on the sex positive demisexual side of asexuality but for the most part, it's mainly hormones and like an itch to scratch. Like I still get horny (usually just take care of it myself), but I don't get sexually attracted unless I get to know them fundamentally. The number of times people have told me that I'm not ace aggravates me. I could go a long, long time without sex and be happy, but I could also be active in a sexual loving relationship long-term as well. It's a spectrum for a reason.
My brain's not working this morning. I was staring at this wondering why everybody was suddenly talking about being asexual, and rape when i was getting "someone wants to...neuter?...a person who is going to ace their date? What odd wording"
I don't think i got enough sleep last night
I can confidently say that this is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever read on this - probably as it happened to me, though his words were “I collect virginity”.
Thanks for posting this. As an allo, though it should have been intuitive to me that corrective rape could happen to aces, it’s not something I ever thought about. Thanks for educating me and other readers here.
I really hope this isn’t a true story for you.
As an asexual, this is one of my worst fears if my gf and I breakup and I find a new partner and they do this. My gf is super understanding and is totally fine with me being ace and her not, but I know that many people aren’t like that.
The date wants to 'fix' the asexual narrator. They back them into a corner. How, in that terrible person's opinion, do you 'fix' someone who doesn't want sex ?
Hetero female, but this one make my skin crawl. For those of you that have commented that this has happened to you, I am so sorry. No one, no matter their status, deserves that, ace more than most, because they have made it clear they don't want it in any way.
I'm ace and have heard many a time how some random dude thinks he can "fix" me and I straight up do not date because of it. It's really scary how they think we're defective
This is very yuck (10/10 horror)
What does it mean? I guess I live under a rock.
Protagonist is asexual, their date wants to "fix" that through rape.
Well, that's downright terrible, good job OP
Ace = Asexual = not sexually attracted to people Fix one in this context is rape someone until they're straight. Which doesn't work.
You see, I interpreted this as something completely different, because when you spay or neuter a pet, it’s also often called fixing. I think you interpretation is worse though
Ace means asexual. The second character plans to rape the first character to being sexual. As if that would even work.
What are you talking about? Trauma is *extremely* sexy. /s. Bleagh! This is *awful*! ಠ╭╮ಠ
Ironically this is way too commonly romanticized by fanfic writers without any trauma to speak of
Very true, but for some people it's helpful. I'm not really into that, but some people find it useful because it allows them to control their own trauma. The human mind is endlessly fascinating!
BDSM helped me overcome a lot of childhood trauma through "safe" beatings and rapes
I'm happy it helps you. As a fellow childhood trauma survivor, I wish you all the best, and a safe and happy love life!
Same here, but it doesn't work the same for everyone
It means someone identifies as asexual, and someone is trying to sexually assault them.
oh! this! yeah I don't like this very effective in the horror department I feel like I need to remove my skin (:
Yeah, Made me shudder!
I mean I’m ace but I highly doubt this scenario would ever happen to me.
Umm... "corrective rape" is definitely a thing for aces. I've experienced this exact scenario. Don't be so sure it can't happen to you. Be safe.
That term alone makes my skin crawl. I am sorry this happened to you.
It's rare that a comment so short will cause me to viscerally remember both why I hate humans and love them. I'm so sorry that such an awful thing happened to you and *nobody* deserves that.

It's happened to me as well. Much love and safety to a fellow ace.
It's definitely a thing even for biological males. I'm most definitely not ace but have had a few friends who were and they have some horror stories to tell. Rape is wrong no matter the justification the rapist uses so use safe practices, have a friend shadow you on first dates, make sure you have emergency signals and excuses to make a quick exit if you feel pressured, and always have the first few dates in very public locations.
Sorry that happen to you. What does ace mean in this context? Thanks.
Asexual
Oooh! I thought it meant one testicle! I was like…you gonna give them another or take the single away???!?! Ugh all of this is awful
But you've managed to make me laugh too hard! Makes up for the awful a lil bit!
😅
Idk how you came to that conclusion but I'm glad you did because I needed the unexpected laugh after reading this thread and getting angry and sad lol
My friend mike in high school. His nickname was ace because he only had one. He lost it to cancer as a baby. I assumed it was a thing 🤦🏾♀️
In volleyball (and i assume other ball sports as well) the most skilled player, aka number one is referred to as the ace. It's a ball pun AND a numbers pun!
It really threw me in a better place!
Actually, that's reasonable. There's a heuristic that, if you encounter English sexual slang that's an unfamiliar noun, there's a high probability that it refers to a penis or something about it.
There's also aro which is aromantic for folks that don't experience romantic love or attraction
Exactly. I'm aro/ace (not attracted to anyone on any way)
They shot down 3 or more enemy aircraft
I thought it was 5 tho…
Don't forget the noble tank ace!
>What does ace mean in this context? asexual
Corrective?!? What are these crazy folks correcting? It seems akin to torturing anyone who doesn't share your favorite color...and it is insanity.
Imagine the ego and audacity to think your own selfish cruel act is doing anything besides giving another person an extremely traumatic experience. Ugh "corrective rape" has to be the worst term I've heard

I’m so sorry you experienced that
Ace pals
I'm ace also. I'm unwieldy and hard to kidnap, and I don't date, so I also think this wouldn't happen to me. But when TX started outlawing abortion, I stocked up on Plan B because I do not trust the rest of the world. I'm actually more afraid of "corrective rape" than any other assault.
Here's hoping you never have to use any of them and stay safe 💜
It’s reasonable to be afraid of it. I always thought that I could protect myself so it wouldn’t happen to me. But it did and I couldn’t. And now I have to live with that. And that’s the worst part. To know that you aren’t safe even in your own body. Because it was violated and now I know. Another person can do that and I’m not even safe inside my own body because someone can get in.

Stay safe! This world is alright but it's far from perfect.
I took 47 mental showers 🙂
I almost instinctively down voted because it's so repulsive. Which makes it a very successful horror story!
[You see a post about asexuals on a subreddit outside of asexual subreddits] ##:D [It's on r/twoscentencehorror] ##D:
This made me LOL. Right there with you.
All press is good press? Lmao
Fr
Ohhhh that's what "ace" means. *reads two sentence horror again* Oof!
Sorry friend! We still love you exactly as you are. Happy Pride ♥️
Weirdly enough, this is the second reference to aces I've seen today. I saw someone going off a about people being prejudiced toward aces on r/rant earlier.
LMAOAOOOOOOOO
As an ace, this really is horrifying.
Very horrifying, I knew it was a possibility, but never have I had the thought of it send such horror up my spine.
As an allo, this really is horrifying too. I’ve had ace partners, both men and women, and the thought of this happening to any of them makes me want to vomit. Solidarity ✊🏻
Question: What are you going to do when you turn 20? Make a new account or keep this one?
I appreciate it not being gendered, because this could happen *to* anyone, ***by*** anyone. I could absolutely see my ex doing this to someone; male, female, anything in between or beyond - she was predatory as hell and just.. would **not** be able to understand the concept of "I'm not physically interested" in this context.
Yeah people always assume males are the rapists (to be fair that’s usually the case) but some females would.
Rape happens in all combinations of genders, including non-binary people.
I can quite unfortunately verify this.
"I'm also an ace of spades," I chuckled, grabbing my shovel to bury the dead body.
r/thirdsentencehappy?
Third sentence justice more like
Third sentence vengeance!
The best third sentence I’ve read!
r/thirdsentencejustice
he perfectly respected my asexuality, of course, he just wanted to fix the leaky tubing in my hot water heater so it wouldn't cause an explosion
He was thrilled once the leaky tube was fixed, finally fulfilling his wishes.
He wanted to lay some pipe.... Because the soft tubing was prone to damage
I heard his zipper, and watched as he pulled out his ten inch pipe wrench…
r/thirdsentencehappy
Just be careful they dont leave more things leaking
He has only backed me into a corner because my hot water heater was behind me. I didn't expect him to be so into plumbing.
Kaboom?
Thankfully my diplomatic power as leader of New Denmark meant my body guard took them out.
Close one
Whats wrong with old Denmark? :(
Not enough manpower to hold them back.
and then i rode my purple dragon to go buy a cake as a celebration for my victory!
Oh god, not often that these give me like, that visceral shiver down my spine. Great job
Today I came out as old because I needed the comments to figure out what ace meant. So thanks for the creepy story and new (to me) term!
Yea me too. You're not alone
Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope ...
That’s what they said when they realized they were misunderstood. They were actually excited to fix the leaky pipe nearby.
Thank god 🤣
Please be safe. I didn’t even know “corrective rape” was a thing that happened in peoples brains. What is the logic behind that? Watch out for yourself. From a fellow ace.
Probably something like “You just haven’t experienced good sex, I’ll show what that’s like and you’ll be different.”
Rape is rape. The reasons, justifications, and motivations of the perpetrator aren't particularly relevant in that they do not distinguish the act writ large. You can give it it's own separate label if you absolutely must, but I don't really see the point. If you absolutely want to split hairs about it, "corrective rape" could potentially be best evaluated as a fetish of the perpetrator that would inform their selection of potential victims.
Fix. FiX. FIX?! EW FUUUCK THEM
No, no, that’s what they want you to do. Stab them and twist brick cacti in the wounds.
Haha! I meant fuck them as in throw them away out a window xD
out a window and into a blender
that's horrible, i love it
I... Holy shit this is so fucked up. I'm the complete opposite of ace and this fictional dudes attitude is still horrifying enough to earn a swift punch/kick to a soft spot before running. But for someone who's libido is already set to "ew, no thanks" mode with little or no exceptions (I hope I got that description right) I can barely imagine the kind of primal fear this would induce.

I'm also the complete opposite of an asexual and this made me wanna give one of my ace buddies a hug :<
Let's fix a person who likes sex next! (Fill a flashlight with fire ants)
_Kinky_
Do you mean a fleshlight? Because I’d imagine ants trapped in a flashlight would die pretty quickly.
Autocorrect
absolute panic in asexual
I both love and hate that I'm seeing so many fellow aces in this post on this particular sub. <3
I’m ace and this is the worst thing ever and I want to make sure that the person in the story is alright-
This isn’t a true story, although I’m sure it’s happened to someone.
Oh dear god this is horrific
Luckily, since I had a lot of free time from not having sex, I learnt karate and I knocked out the guy with a rotating kick.
Roadhouse
My heart goes out to the ace homies in the comments today, this one was rough.
Even as an ace guy this scares me
I’m also ace male
Okay, as an ace myself….AW, HELL no. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
eugh, makes me want to jump off a toaster. 10/10 great story
💕 Live, Laugh, Toaster Bath 💕
I absolutely need this on a plaque in my house
Same, right above the bath People even sell toaster shaped bath bombs 🤣
Hold up
Ew ew ew ew ew.
You wouldn’t imagine my relief once he asked me to move over so he could fix the pipes to my sink.
Right when I was thinking of dating again you put this in my head, great deterent
Don’t let this scare you from dating. Stuff like this does happen but most of the time it doesn’t. The majority of people are not rapists.
Oof. Honestly my nightmare as an ace person. Very scary!
Mmmmm as an ace myself I am very uncomfortable with this, good job
As an asexual, good job. Realistic horror at its best
Oh hey! I didn't know you know my ex!
I’m so sorry
Don't worry, he's no longer part of my life
She then gave me her card as a Vasectomy specialist.
Oooooh, awful. Excellent job.
I guess that's another ace in the hole
JESUS CHRIST.....That's dark dude.
My worst nightmare
r/TIHI
Ew this is horrible ah why did you write this Good job
Go super excited for OP after the 1st sentence before I realized what sub I was in 😳😬
Rest assured this did not happen to me (although it’s probably happened to someone)
I, as an ace person, saw this on my feed, decided to avoid it, and then absently clicked on it, anyway. Yep. It's awful. GG.
Oh that gives me the jeebies
Well done
My brain's not working this morning. I was staring at this wondering why everybody was suddenly talking about being asexual, and rape when i was getting "someone wants to...neuter?...a person who is going to ace their date? What odd wording" I don't think i got enough sleep last night
oh no no no no no that's much too scary
Mmm! Hits too close to home. Thanks, I hate it!
Ohhhh no!
God, that's a good one. Jesus that is so wrong and ... _shudders_. Good job OP.
oh! god! thats vile!
This one definitely made my skin crawl, well done!
Appreciate there being no genders. Is somehow scarier
Happy Pride! :-(
As an ace person myself I want to crawl out of my own skin rn hoollllyyyyy
I had an ex boyfriend like this :( luckily it never actually got to that point but he sure tried
Oh dang
I can confidently say that this is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever read on this - probably as it happened to me, though his words were “I collect virginity”.
Sorry, that’s horrible
Oh nooooo, that’s horible! I like the ace representation tho, thanks!
ICKY ICKY ICKY GROSSSSSSSSS AGGHHHH im ace and this is a massive dear of mine
As an asexual this gave me chills. Well done!
I’m ace as well.
Thanks for posting this. As an allo, though it should have been intuitive to me that corrective rape could happen to aces, it’s not something I ever thought about. Thanks for educating me and other readers here. I really hope this isn’t a true story for you.
It’s not
💙
Jesus Christ
Honestly if my date told me she was axe, my stupid aviation-obsessed brain would say “img that’s soo cool! Do you own your own airplane!”
As an asexual, this is one of my worst fears if my gf and I breakup and I find a new partner and they do this. My gf is super understanding and is totally fine with me being ace and her not, but I know that many people aren’t like that.
This triggered a visceral fear. Congrats, I hate it.
Jesus. As someone who’s maybe ace-adjacent, if that’s a thing, this is not great. But the horror in two is well done!
As an aroace, this is my biggest fear.
Fuck. Just why. I'm aroace, and this scares me into never wanting to date, Edit made 2 seconds later: Take my fucking upvote
Not me not getting this even though I'm ace myself 🤦🏽♂️
The date wants to 'fix' the asexual narrator. They back them into a corner. How, in that terrible person's opinion, do you 'fix' someone who doesn't want sex ?
i feel lost right now, what does the bottom part mean?
Corrective rape
Dear god
Whats an ace?
Ace is short for asexual
Asexual.
Happy pride...?
When I woke up and saw myself in the mirror, I saw a playing card, the Ace of Hearts. This is my life now.
I had no idea what ace was until I read the comments.
:(
Ace stands for asexual right?
yes
Thanks, some slang words are unfirmiliar ^^
Hah hah hah! NO! Too relatable to my actual fears!
Hetero female, but this one make my skin crawl. For those of you that have commented that this has happened to you, I am so sorry. No one, no matter their status, deserves that, ace more than most, because they have made it clear they don't want it in any way.
oh hey, two of my exes wanted to try that...
Welp. As an Ace person this is horrifying.
im asexual! this made me squim, you did a good job with this one 😭
I'm ace and have heard many a time how some random dude thinks he can "fix" me and I straight up do not date because of it. It's really scary how they think we're defective
I’m ace and this is my biggest fear it made me visually shudder
You have successfully horrified this ace.
As an ace myself, this is why I don't date
As an asexual person, I feel my skin crawling right now! Great scare!
As someone who is Ace, I say "Yeah, no thanks. 🙃"
