Welcome!

My name is David Jay (aka AVENguy) and I'm the the founder and webmaster of AVEN. I'm actively involved in visibility work and in maintaining the technical aspects of the site, feel free to drop me a line at webmaster@asexuality.org. I'm a sucker for anything related to relationships and nonsexual intimacy, visibility work and building AVEN as an organization, send me your thoughts if you have them. And check out my podcast, Love from the Asexual Underground.

Current Projects

Pamphlets

I'm working with Trip to review new suggestions for the pamphlets and finalize the design.
