<div style="top:+0.2em; font-size:95%;">Welcome to the [[AVEN|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, asexuality is a sexual orientation. 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, [[Asexuality|click here]].</div>

I consider myself asexual and I can say there's a difference between [[Sex drive|libido/sex drive]] and [[Attraction|sexual attraction]]. For example if you put 100 straight men on an island they won't be sexually attracted to each other but they will still get horny.
