Asexual has two meanings.

One is regarding reproduction without the exchange of gametes between two different individuals, which is a strategy used by single-celled organisms, a large number of higher plants, and even some vertebrates: "asexual reproduction".[1]

The other refers to a "sexual orientation" that does not involve desire for sex at all, or rarely: "asexuality". As long as this lack of desire does not stem from some kind of psychological injury or abuse, it is of course as acceptable as any other orientation.

The asexually-oriented, along with male homosexuals and blind people,[2] are God's chosen people, as they're the only ones capable of following Jesus' injunction "whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
