Asexual: A person who does not experience sexual attraction.


Welcome to the 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, click here.

AVEN Post of the Week

"I do have a libido, but again it never occurred to me to share that with someone else, no more than I would care to have someone involved in me taking a dump. It happens regularly and is private. I suppose a mixture of a libido and romantic/aesthetic attraction can fool someone into leaping to the conclusion that they are not asexual, and indeed, that's one of the common issues of confusion raised by newbies when they join. "

– ~Acer~ on libidoist asexuality

Did you know...

• … that some asexual people are happier on their own or with a group of close friends, while other asexuals have a desire to form more intimate romantic relationships, and will date and seek long-term partnerships?

• … that for some asexuals arousal is a fairly regular occurrence, though it is not associated with a desire to find a sexual partner? Some asexuals will occasionally masturbate, but feel no desire for partnered sexuality. Other asexual people experience little or no arousal.

Asexuality in the Media

• After a long hiatus, AVENues, AVEN’s online newsletter, is under new management and is back for a fantastic October issue!

Harlot magazine, the online version of Scarlet magazine, featured an article entitled "Rise of the Asexual" in its most recent October issue.
