Sandbox / Asexual Reproduction

Storing examples from the Asexuality clean up.

---

• Creative Sterility (second bullet under Doctor Who) Interference includes a group of cloned people who are sterile and effectively asexual; one of the Doctor's companions ends up one of them, but he ain't asexual once he's returned somewhat to normal. Probably falls here if they're clones
• Characters.Fate Grand Order Rulers (Qin Shi Huang's folder): Even before the events of the Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang was comfortable existing as bodiless data within a supercomputer. After creating a new, superior body for themself, they pointedly give it No Biological Sex, since they see no need to reproduce if, as an immortal, they have no need for an heir. This is consistent with their historical counterpart in some ways, who also neglected the process of declaring an heir in favor of just trying to live forever.
  • Like other Servants who fit into the "genderless" category, Qin Shi Huang has two Valentine's Day scenes: one for giving chocolate to the player and one scene for a Return Gift. However, in in Qin Shi Huang's case, instead of giving chocolate to you, their Valentine's Day gift is an Elixir of Immortality, which would fit closer to a Return Gift. But their Return Gift is a big chocolate cake, something they created after eating the Valentine's Day chocolate from the protagonist.
  • And just like Astolfo and Enkidu, Qin Shi Huang is featured in "Chaldea Boys Collection" artworks, since they are "closer to being male than female".
• Fanfic.Unfamiliar: Alex doesn't care for human notions of romantic love; viruses, even humanoid ones (presumably), don't reproduce that way, after all.
• MassEffect.Tropes A To D: The salarians as a whole. Breeding is entirely a matter of profit, genetics, and politics to them, as only 10% of the population is female.
  • This seems to be at odds when you factor asari/salarian relationships into the equation, which is played with in a ME2 background conversation. On Illium, there's a bachelor party you can listen into, where despite initial protests by the salarian member that he doesn't even have a sex drive, he eventually changes his mind after watching the asari stripper:
    Salarian: My word, she is very... limber. I can appreciate her dancing in an aesthetic manner, but... I don't have... feelings of... hmm... she is a lovely shade of blue.
    Human: Uh-huh. Take a look at that, man. Everybody likes the asari. Everybody.
  • Elsewhere on the planet, a salarian and an asari are browsing the gun store with intent to join a mercenary band. The asari goes on about how being a merc is going to be a great adventure, while the more sober salarian explains that this is an important way to earn money to shore up his clan's breeding rights. A sidequest has you recover the genetic tree of a salarian family to aid in reproduction contracts.
  • Mordin will lampshade this by speculating that asari have some neurochemical way of attracting other species, even overcoming salarian asexuality.
• The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace: The Idaten have no interest in sex since they are beings born out of collective thoughts of divine retribution against demonkind, with them being born out of thin air; demons who have merged with humans being very sex driven in order to fill their ranks and satisfy their base desires have no means of using seduction as a weapon against the Idaten.
• Girl: "Who are you?" Alien: "Er, I'm an alien.": The alien, as well as most of her species, have little to no sexual desire as it's no longer required to exclusively live in a physical body, and their procreation is largely sexless. Some of her species still do engage in sexual activity, but the alien notes they're mostly a minority.
• Herland: The women of Herland have no concept of sexual attraction or pleasure. Additionally, they are able to reproduce through parthenogenesis, so for them sex is unnecessary.
• The Worm Ouroboros: In contrast to the Witches, the Lords and Ladies of Demonland are mostly asexual beings — with the single exception of Brandoch Daha, none of them show interest in sex, and none at all (including Brandoch) show interest in a romantic attachment. This even includes Goldry Blusczo, who is "betrothed" to Princess Armelline of Goblinland, but whose bride has about two appearances in the book – after all, it is only a political marriage.
• Mass Effect:
