what is a asexual?

Read here, this group should answer all your questions: http://www.asexuality.org/home/

I am asexual by the way. Asexuals don't want to have sex with others whether they have sex drive or not. Some like myself have a romantic attraction and love to hug and touch in ways that are not that sexual. Because of this if I were to find someone I'd find some man that is also asexual. It would be much harder to met someone that is asexual of course but that group I posted does have meet ups at times.

Asexual reproduction only means that no cells are joining together to make the new organism. Organisms with flowers or other reproductive organs can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

My students always think that asexual means one parent, but that is not accurate. If a flower is pollinated by another flower on the same plant, that is still sexual reproduction because two cells are joining together. If the plant sends out a runner and a new plant grows up from the runner, that's asexual reproduction.

Not sexual. For example sexual reproduction between plants
is when the pollen enters the Stigma (i can't remember the name) of a female flower.
Asexual plant reproduction could be when you reproduce
plants in a lab, or use cuttings and such to reproduce the plant. there's no need for pollen there. ;p

An asexual is an organism which does not reproduce using gametes (which is assigned either as "male" or "female"), like most fungi who uses spores.

I hope that helped.

Ususally (when speaking of a species) it means has no sexual organs, and/or does not reproduce sexually
