Ready for a long ace-centric metaphor about sex?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alright, so. Coffee. I don\u2019t drink coffee. I have no desire to drink coffee. I find people who enthusiastically go on about the flavor differences of lattes, espressos, and french press brews, both amusing and mildly baffling. All the coffee ads. Coffee jokes. Bustling coffee shops.\u00a0To me, all coffee is similarly bitter and unpleasant. I have been through so many \u201cTry this, it\u2019s sweet! You can\u2019t even taste the coffee!\u201d \u00a0Alas, I\u00a0always <\/i>can. And I\u2019m \u00a0sensitive to caffeine anyway. So, I don\u2019t really think about drinking it when I wake up or am tired.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Yet I love the smell<\/i> of coffee. I love the idea<\/i> of coffee. The feeling of a warm cup taking the chill from my fingers, the cozy ritual of having a drink and chat. <\/p>\n

I might try someone\u2019s coffee. If they ask, if I want to please them and share in something they enjoy.<\/p>\n

I am also perfectly capable of learning the preferences of those I care about and creating a cup for their pleasure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t want coffee, generally speaking. I will probably make a face after trying their coffee and wash the taste out with something else. They may rush to reassure me that it is an acquired taste. And I\u2019ll have to reply that it\u2019s a taste I don\u2019t particularly care about acquiring in the way they did. \u2018Drink it till you like it\u2019 will never work for me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0But that doesn\u2019t mean I am against coffee or think people shouldn\u2019t drink it. Doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ve taken a vow to never drink any. And sure, maybe<\/i> if you get one of those sugar and whipped cream disasters, more of a warm milkshake than a cup of coffee, I\u2019ll probably be happier sipping it with you. But honestly? I\u2019d rather smell someone else\u2019s coffee and not be expected to drink it. I\u2019d really rather have the heat and sweetness of my hot cocoa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love this<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The best part is it works for ALLLL the ace spectrum! Maybe you like one specific type of coffee on rare occasions! Maybe you enjoy coffee when you\u2019re sharing the drink with someone! Maybe you can\u2019t even stand the smell of coffee!<\/p>\n

This needs to be on my blog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is it exactly<\/i> oh my god. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

would also like to add \u2013 maybe you don\u2019t even dislike coffee. but\u2026you don\u2019t like it either. you\u2019ll drink it, you think it\u2019s okay, sometimes even good, but you\u2019ll never go out of your way to have some. you pass the aisle at the grocery store. you hang out at coffee shops for the atmosphere and you definitely get why people like it, can see the allure, but it\u2019s just something you can live without.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maybe you were raised thinking that all coffee was absolutely evil and then you found out later that it\u2019s actually not and oh.<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
