Apositive
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, following a surge in supposed elitism within 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 was abruptly shut down down, triggering an influx of antisexual and elitist viewpoints on AVEN forums throughout 2007. This proved too much for some... Apositive sprang to life in January 2008, intended as a community for sex-positive discourse with a very low tolerance for antisexual comments. Originally, Apositive included a forum as well as an extensive Knowledge Base of studies related to asexuality, and it focused on discussing asexuality as part of a sexual society. Unfortunately, the Knowledge Base is no longer available. The Apositive forum differs from the AVEN, it includes a subforum for the discussion of sexuality, in addition to the asexuality subforum.
Lehcar was given administrator permissions in October 2008. A year later, in October 2009, Karl transferred ownership of Apositive to Nancy and Keith (KAGU143 and KAW143). Presently, the knowledge base is no longer active, the forum has over 400 members but generally suffers from a lack of regular activity.
