Viruses reproduce asexually in host cells because they are technically non-living organisms, they cannot reproduce sexually for that would require a virus to have two different virus "cells" (even though they are not living) in a host cell before the process of reproducing starts. This would cause the two viruses to "kill" each other before either could reproduce.
