Frustrated with the lack of resources available regarding asexuality, Jay launched AVEN's website in 2001.[2] 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.[2]
AVEN, which Salon.com referred to as the "unofficial online headquarters" of the asexuality movement,[3] is widely recognised as the largest online asexual community.[4] Its two main goals are to create public acceptance and discussion about asexuality and to facilitate the growth of a large online asexual community.[5][better source needed] As of June 17, 2013, AVEN has nearly 70,000 registered members.[6]
In New York City, working both with the Department of Education and private organizations, he has been providing training on Ace (asexual) inclusion to health educators.[7]
Jay is part of a nonromantic, three-parent family, which he views as influenced by his asexual identity.[10]
Writingedit
In 2024, David Jay published a book on relationships titled Relationality: How Moving From Transactional to Transformational Relationships can Reshape Our Lonely World.[11]
