Why does sex exist?

[Husar]

Asexuality doesn't affect the sex drive. It just seen as highly inconvenient like trying to please yourself to a picture of a slab of concrete.

Not from what I heard. What you describe sounds more like object sexuality.

Object sexuality or objectum sexuality, in German Objektophilie (OS), is a pronounced emotional and often romantic desire towards developing significant relationships with particular inanimate objects. Those individuals with this expressed preference may feel strong feelings of attraction, love, and commitment to certain items or structures of their fixation.

Asexuality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality

Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone or low or absent interest in sexual activity.
[...]
Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs; sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be "enduring". Some asexual people do engage in sexual activity despite lacking a desire for sex or sexual attraction, due to a variety of reasons, such as a desire to please romantic partners or a desire to have children.

... No.

I was saying there is no sexual attraction. Unless you are saying you find pictures of concrete similar to your own visual stimulation. The point was the typical forum-reader who does experience sexual arousal at certain things, and I picked something they would with 99.99% certainty, not experience such with, and thus they might understand the issue.

You said it doesn't affect the sex drive and my point was that it does affect the sex drive in that there is none or the sex drive is severely reduced regardless of what asexual people look at. I may have misunderstood your example though.
