Frustrated with the lack of resources available regarding asexuality, Jay launched AVEN"s website in 2002. Since then, he has taken a leading role in the asexuality movement, appearing on multiple television shows, and being featured heavily in Arts Engine"s 2011 documentary (A)sexual. AVEN, which Salon.com referred to as the "unofficial online headquarters" of the asexuality movement, is widely recognised as the largest online asexual community.
Its two main goals are to create public acceptance and discussion about asexuality and to facilitate the growth of a large online asexual community.
As of June 17, 2013, AVEN has nearly 70,000 registered members.
