I am an aroace college student writing a research paper about how online forums have influenced the asexual community. I am focusing on AVEN forums due to my own familiarity with them. The answers collected will remain anonymous and only be used for the purposes of my class; they will not be published. Please read questions carefully and only participate if you are asexual and at least 18 years old or emancipated. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
