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.

To find out more about asexuality, click here. For media and speaking requests please contact aven.pt@gmail.com.
