[@rhov-anion]

Another idiot who thinks asexuality means you never get erect. smh... Dude, it means you don't find people sexually attractive. You could be romantically attracted, but sex? Nope. Imagine a person who doesn't like beer. They might drink beer if the person they're with wants beer, but they don't really like it. Or maybe they are utterly repulsed by beer and refuse to drink even a sip. They might like wine (romance) or even things that go along with beer (solo sexual experiences) but not beer itself. It's not that they haven't found the right beer, or haven't tried enough beer, or should be forced to guzzle beer. They honestly don't like it, and that should be okay. It's shouldn't be seen as weird or something to "fix." If your friend doesn't like beer, your respect that preference. After all, you don't like what you don't like. And that is how I once explained asexuality to a group of college kids, and they suddenly got it. Hopefully whoever reads this is just as smart as those college kids.

[@annettearellano3487]

[@peachcakes5342]

"I'm actually asexual, not that anyone cares or asks" I felt that. For real though, it's really cool that they added an ace character. What an icon.

[@sophiaplingos912]

Honestly as an asexual person it felt so nice hearing that

[@peachcakes5342]

@Breakfastbean I don't feel sexual attraction to anyone. I mean, I'm in the grey area of the spectrum. But asexuality is not the same as celibacy! (:

[@lunarrefresh]

@Breakfastbean As an asexual, I also want to add that asexuality and romanticism are different. I feel no sexual attraction, but I'm happily married with a baby and another on the way. :) Sooo happy for some ace representation, finally. ♡

[@sparklemotion101ni3]

@@lunarrefresh You're so happy to be "represented" by Mikey Day playing a - no offense meant towards Mikey - truly pathetic sleigh-ride driver who is ignored by the passengers, none of whom care at all about anything he says of does?? Let's hear it for asexual representation?? Somehow, I don't remember anyone asking "so, 'Lunar refresh,' do *you* feel sexual attraction??" Because the real star of the sketch is the character who is pretending to drive the sled and keeps telling everyone to stop annoying the horses... not Jason Momoa, Leslie Jones, Keenan Thompson as the long-suffering "Gene," or Cecily as "Gemma." Yeah, I'm pretty sure that nobody asks about the driver's sexuality because nobody cares, and it's not great to trap unsuspecting people in a sleigh so the driver can lecture them on who or what he doesn't want to f*ck. But sure, hurrah for including a character people would rather dive face-first off a sleigh to escape than be forced to hear him talk for 30 seconds about anything, much less his [a]sexuality! So, congratulations on being represented - *finally!* by a character that could have just as easily been a horse silently driving itself! After all, it's so important to see yourself in punchline-free snl sketches by writers who couldn't be bothered to write anything original so... once again...here's Gemma!

I think Vanessa Bayer's character divorced Kenan Thompson's character Gene because she was always jealous of his good friend the one played by Dwayne Johnson. She may had a breakdown by crying so she could divorce Gene or she probably died. Some people never know what happened to Gene's wife and I know for sure her name was never revealed ever. I would say she divorced her funny interesting husband and started a new life. And maybe she is looking for a new husband who always protects her.
