Asexual means an organism does not repreoduce through sexual reproduction (meiosis) but rather through mitosis, in which the cell replicates its DNA and splits itself in half. In other words, the organism reproduces by itself, without a mate.

A lack of interest or desire in having a sexual relationship with other humans, whether of same gender or opposite gender to themselves. Asexuality is not the same as celibacy.

Asexual people may be male or female, and they will generally have no desire to ever share their bed with anybody else during their life. But they mostly indulge in private masturbation when alone, although their erotic imagery inside their mind is never about a sexual relationship with somebody else. Their kind of libidinous thoughts may be associated with work or sport or warfare or other such environmental factors in their life, embracing abstract ideas which are not libidinous nor erotic to a normal heterosexual or homosexual person.

Asexual people are otherwise completely normal individuals, both physically and mentally healthy and usually intelligent. They usually enjoy non sexual socialising and companionship with other people of both genders, and lead a happy and productive adult life. But they only rarely get married and have no desire to have children, nor are ever apparently capable of becoming pregnant nor causing a pregnancy.
