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]]. | ||

+ | Wikimaster's note: As a spam prevention measure, new page creation has been temporarily disabled from anyone who does not have an admin account for the wiki. I deeply regret this change, but it is the only way that the service can be maintained in a usable condition. If you want to create a new page, request a new page [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?/topic/55678-updating-the-wiki/ via the AVEN forums]. You will then be able to edit the page normally. The edit features of the service are not affected by this change.</div> | ||
