Don't put sex jokes in my mouth without my consent. Do not.

icon: "antagonistic (a photo of me in cat-eye makeup with violet hair, snarling with bared teeth and staring intensely into the camera)"There is this repetitive and predictable act which is passed off as 'humor' where people imply that what someone else said is meant in a sexual manner.

I see what you mean.
Personally, I don't mind this kind of thing, as I enjoy sex talk (when it's not inappropriate due to some circumstances, eg. in a professional setting), puns, and mutual teasing. And of course I'm "collecting" people who do the same.
If someone showed signs of being uncomfortable with my jokes, however, I wouldn't dismiss that or try to make it seem like they are wrong. That's some horrible behavior, and I'm sorry you had to experience that. Some people seem to be unable to realize a mistake and apologize.

I enjoy sex talk and puns, I just don't enjoy it when it's forced on me.

I had never considered it this way.

I don't find it particularly funny either, but with certain groups of my friends I think there comes a point where we all mutually fall into doing it, for a brief period of time, then it stops being funny so we stop.

I would hope that we would never do it to make anyone feel uncomfortable, or to a newcomer who might not be okay with it, as I've been on the receiving end of that (some people assume that asexuals are naive and that it's some kind of duty for them to "educate" us with constant sexual innuendo, which doesn't make me uncomfortable, but it's very old and boring).

I don't think it's something I would stop doing with friends who do the same, and I wouldn't do it outside that environment anyway since it's not my "real" sense of humour, but thank you for this perspective. Your posts always make me consider things.

I can understand it as a grey area, so I'm not going to attempt to get people to stop altogether -- I'm just not going to do it myself and not going to permit people to do it to me.

Ugh, that 'educate' bullshit, can't stand it!
