Apositive is a website created by Karl (aka Live R Perfect on AVEN) in early January 2008. It was founded to encourage sex-positive discussion related to asexuality and sexuality beyond the basic education provided by AVEN. The name “Apositive” was chosen to emphasize that the website concentrates on being supportive and positive about both asexuality and other kinds of sexuality.

History

In late 2006, the Official Nonlibidoist Society website closed down and the AVEN forums experienced an influx of antisexual and elitist viewpoints in 2007. At the beginning of 2008, Apositive was started as a community for sex-positive discourse with a very low tolerance for antisexual comments. Originally, Apositive included a forum as well as a knowledge base of studies related to asexuality, and it focused on discussing asexuality as part of a sexual society. The Apositive forum differs from the AVEN forum because it includes a subforum for the discussion of sexuality, in addition to the asexuality subforum.

Lehcar was given administrator permissions in October 2008. In October 2009, Karl transferred ownership of Apositive to Nancy and Keith (KAGU143 and KAW143). Presently, the knowledge base is no longer active, but the forum has over 400 members.

Community Guidelines

Debate and controversial discussions are encouraged on Apositive, provided that posters act in a respectful and mature fashion.
