Do scriptures even mention this?

Good question.
{As an aside, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you seem to be pretty obsessed with sexuality for an asexual?

Ooh! Better idea. Christian bigots say "you may be born with certain inclinations, but it's whether you act on them that's sinful or not" in relation to sexuality.
So...by following your asexual orientation, you are "choosing" to abstain from sex. Hence you are a eunuch. :thud:

Obsessed with sexuality? I am obsessed with theology but not sexuality although I enjoy mild eroticism. I personally just like using sexuality as a topic of humor because I find it very queer and amusing. The way society is obsessed with sexuality is astonishing and it seems that for some reason sex triggers human emotions that I just don't have.

That is the issue though, asexuals cannot help but practice asexuality since it is a negative like Atheism. You cannot act upon a negative.
I am not choosing anything, as I lack sexual attraction. I can have sex which is one thing but I will not only like it, it will feel like rape. Many asexuals feel like this, go to asexual exclusive forums and you will see.
So by this standard if I have sex, it will be rape or molestation. Bizarre huh?
This is the second part of the deceitful argument. Which is that the only way to go around this issue is to either succumb to one of two sins. Permit homosexuality or permit rape since asexuals create a negative default.

Shhh...accept your virtues with honor.
Is this the part where I do Sepukku or something and die a noble death?

There's this: Matthew 18:3
And he said: Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

You're incapable of love and feeling romantic passion?
I'm not sure you'recorrect in thinking Islam denounces you as immoral. If anything you're lucky. Exemption from marriage as there is noneed to be worried of controlling urges means you're exempt from the har responsibilities of marriage. Finding a spouse, possible financial burden, children, etc.
As for the relevant paragraph I said I would try to post, well excuse my inability to do so right now. Between work and taking care of a 7 month old baby, I don't have the time to type it up on my phone. But to sum up the point, no we are given the ability to know the v basic right from wrong without religion. Do with that what you will.
My evil immoral *** is now off to try and feed my child and put her to sleep so my wife can get some relaxation after watching her all day while I slaved at work to make a better life for my family.
So evil

Asexuality has nothing to do with love or romance just sexual attraction. Many asexuals are romantic but I am not though, I generally dislike even being too close with a person of any gender.
It is not that Islam does not have a standpoint on it, it is that do you think the basis for all morality is objective and is it your own religion?
Muslims have always told me this in the past before
. Common question is how I resist masturbation, which is simple. I just do not desire it so I do not masturbate. It is like being born celibate with no external issues. My "plumbing" works fine and it functions properly. The only issues is that i did not realize I never paid attention to a woman till I was 18Then you not immoral then. I am relieved
As I said before, considering that you do not subscribe to moral absolutes confined to religion you are not immoral. For some reason I thought you believed in that claim.
This does not exclude other things such as apologetics though which is another issue.
Yes indeed.
I recall my 7 months year old little sister and she was evil incarnate
. She tortured me with her cries
