WELCOME

Welcome to the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. AVEN hosts

the world's largest online asexual community as well as a large

archive of resources on asexuality. AVEN strives to create open,

honest discussion about asexuality among sexual and asexual people

alike.

Unlike celibacy, which is a choice to abstain from sexual activity,

asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are, just like other sexual

orientations. Asexual people have the same emotional needs as

everybody else and are just as capable of forming intimate

relationships. To find out more about asexuality, click here

. For media and speaking requests please contact

aven.pt@gmail.com.

undergoing maintenance: if so please visit our backup board

COVID-19 UPDATE - APRIL 2020 We hope everyone is keeping well during

ASEXUAL PERSPECTIVES

OPENING THE DOOR TO SELF-DISCOVERY

By ~Acer~

As humans, we are in general a social species, programmed to support

each other in family units and communities and it seems often mob rule

dictates what is normal, expected or acceptable behaviour. Especially

in a modern society where the media projects these ideas into every

facet of our lives, we are now educated very early on as to how life

apparently is. No matter what our true feelings inside, we may now

attempt to adhere to the ‘rules’ that we have collectively set

ourselves.
