I am asexual. I am not sexually attracted to girls OR guys. I was raised non-denominational Christian. I go to church every Sunday, and I believe in G-d and I know that Jesus Christ is my savior. My question is, is asexuality a sin? I have tried to be attracted to girls, but I just can't. I don't find any of them attractive. (I don't find any guys attractive either, but I don't want to, ew.)
Can someone please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Yes, I am asexual. Asexuality is a sexual orientation describing individuals who do not experience sexual attraction. But yeah, it's also a form of reproduction. Here are some links on asexuality:

Wasn't Jesus asexual?

During the vast majority of my childhood as a christian (though I am not one now) I can honestly say that I don't ever remember hearing anything about asexuality being a sin. Actually I don't remember hearing anything about asexuality at all. *shrugs* Perhaps they just didn't talk about it in the churches that I went to. Hopefully someone else can be of more help.

Asexual skill to be waiting to reproduce on your guy or woman. human beings are actually unable to try this. The Christian suitable knows of this and so their stance could be, "this is merely fantastic for the flowers and creatures that try this". Now as for being non sexual which would be inspired to be practiced till one is married.

I don't see why it would be a sin. In the Catholic church- their clergy does not even marry- they are supposed to remain celibate their entire lives.
Sexuality is only a sin outside of marriage.
I don't think you need to worry about sinning.
You maybe should relax and not try so hard to find that attraction- if it comes, it comes- if not, then find something else to do with your time.

In the Catholic Church, whatever your sexual orientation is -- hetero, homo, asexual -- is not a sin. The orientation toward a given sexual behavior is not a sin.
But there are certain sexual ACTS that are sinful. Specifically, any sex act other than those between a husband and wife are morally illicit according to Catholic teaching.
So, if you're not engaging in sex with someone you're not married to, you're in the clear.

"Sin" is not "doing bad things", as much as it is "not doing the right thing". There is no sin in not wanting to have sex, or get married. In your position, the possibility of sin enters in with how you now use the extra free time, energy, money, etc. that you have over a person with the responsibilities of a wife and children.

As far as the Bible is concerned it's a good thing to be asexual, because you can use your time in service to God rather than pleasing your husband or wife. It's certainly no sin.

No of course not a sin.. you do not HAVE to have a spouse or partner.. most christian religions say no sex without marriage. so If you are not interested in sex then there is no sin. Who knows in time you might just find someone and fall in love one day!! :)

Some Catholics might consider it a sin, since you are not a priest; you'd be expected to go forth and multiply. However, many Christians might see it as a positive thing, since you won't be having casual sex.

It seems to be their goal.
See Paul, who virtually sneers at people who are so "weak" that they had better get married rather than commit fornication, because they can't abstain altogether as he does.
It's a shame that Western sexual morality has been founded on the neurotic ramblings of a sexual degenerate; but it has. So I'm sure most "Christians" would say you're one of the elect.
Alternatively, there are certain cults of Christianity who insist that you marry and produce offspring, and equate NOT doing so with murder!
But in any case, I doubt whether most people would ever answer the question "What Would Jesus Do?" with "Get his groove on."
And now that I've spoken the plain truth, let the thumbs downs begin as is proper.
