* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': In a series steeped in sexual politics, RoyalBrat Joffrey Baratheon stands out as being a rather asexual character. Finding talk of sex to be boring, he only really brings it up as him needing to consummate his marriage with whoever his wife will be or threatening to rape Sansa, while showing no indication he'd enjoy it [[{{Sadist}} outside of seeing Sansa suffer]]. When Tyrion hires two prostitutes for Joffrey [[YouNeedToGetLaid in hopes it'll calm him down]], Joffrey only makes one beat the other up due to enjoying their pain more (and partly to spite his uncle.)

* Melon from ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'' as a result of his messed up genetics from being a hybrid of an herbivore and a carnivore. Since this is a world that heavily runs of InterplayOfSexAndViolence, especially the ConsumingPassion type, because he has no sense of taste and lacks the urge to eat herbivores, he also has no sexual or romantic desire. He may have switched to SingleTargetSexuality when he meets [[spoiler:Haru]] and feels the instinct to eat for the first time in his life.

* [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Demons]] in ''Literature/{{the Bartimaeus Trilogy}}'' are asexual but certainly are aware that humans are ''not'' often asexual.

Bartimaeus remarks at one point in ''The Ring of Solomon'' that his repertoire of forms is pretty well nothing but horrible monsters and pretty girls.

* ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'': HABIT, the series' main antagonist, is completely asexual and uninterested in romance, being an entity who gets pleasure out of causing others pain, rather than out of having sex. This gets even more disturbing later on when he claims to have raped Nick's mother, amongst other people during his long life, which was done to inflict suffering rather than to derive sexual pleasure, and also to breed himself a strong host to possess since normal human hosts tend to fall apart after being shot a few dozen times.

Voldemort is NOT aromantic. Aromantic individuals do not feel romantic attraction, but they are more than capable of feeling other types of love, such as platonic and familial love. Voldemort, in comparison, was unable to feel love in ANY way, shape, or form, meaning that to call him aromantic would be a misnomer.

Until the 2010s and even then some, the only time implied {{asexual|ity}} and aromantic people appeared in media was when they were either "broken" abuse victims who needed to be "[[CureYourGays fixed]]" or, more commonly, evil villains.

Media which features characters with psychopathic traits often try to play up their inhuman nature as much as possible. Many decide a good way to hammer the point home is to have the character reject all forms of sexuality. It's the norm for humans to feel sexual attraction (or at least romantic attraction), so something must be fundamentally wrong when someone rejects such basic instincts. This trope also enforces the idea of heteronormativity, alongside similar tropes like DepravedHomosexual and PsychoLesbian.

Villainous Asexual characters often also dismiss friendships, familial relationships, and other human relationships as well. This usually means the villain HatesEveryoneEqually. They tend to have a LackOfEmpathy as well. Characters might be interested in [[MarriedToTheJob nothing but their work]] or might have a [[{{Sadist}} near-sexual interest in sadism]]. If they ever have sex, it's only to further their agenda.

A character must fit at least one of the following criteria:
# The villain is explicitly stated by WordOfGod to be asexual and/or aromantic.
# Their lack of sexual and/or romantic interest is clearly stated (i.e. they openly show disinterest or disgust for relationships).
# There are moments where sexual and/or romantic interest is expected, but they show do not show any (i.e. marrying for political reasons or to spite someone).

All of these are not required, but they must at least have one to truly count. If the subject of a villain's romantic or sexual interests are simply not brought up, then it does not count as this.

Compare with DepravedHomosexual, PsychoLesbian, and DepravedBisexual for other villainous takes on non-heterosexual orientations. Contrast with CelibateHero and ChasteHero for positive examples of lack of sex, GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex, SexIsGood, EvenEvilHasLovedOnes (for romantic relationships) for positive portrayals of sex, and SexIsEvil, UnholyMatrimony, and SerialRapist for negative portrayals of sex.

While he ''is'' willing to partake in sex, he only ever does as part of an EvilPlan, manipulation, or because he wants to make a sick joke about it. For example, [[ComicBook/{{Joker}} the self-titled graphic novel]] has him rape a woman named Shelly, the wife of one of his henchmen and the book's POV character, Jonny Frost, as a fucked up way of making things "even" between the two after Frost withheld the fact he had a meeting with Two-Face.

She also explicitly states that she has no desire for love.

[[folder: {{Literature}}]]
* [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Demons]] in ''Literature/{{the Bartimaeus Trilogy}}'' are asexual but certainly are aware that humans are ''not'' often asexual. They use this to their advantage as much as they possibly can, distracting or disturbing the magicians who summon them with various attractive forms that may or may not match the spirit's actual gender (insofar as they have one). Bartimaeus remarks at one point in ''The Ring of Solomon'' that his repertoire of forms is pretty well nothing but horrible monsters and pretty girls.
* ''Literature/{{Dexter}}'': Dexter Morgan is uninterested in sex, but willing enough to keep his wife, Rita, convinced that he's a normal man.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Voldemort cannot feel love, thus is definitely aromantic, and shows no sexual interest in the book canon. But, if you consider ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'' canon, it gets subverted: [[spoiler: he fathered one child, Delphini]], though that technically doesn't disqualify him being asexual.
* ''Literature/CodenameVillanelle'': The titular Villanelle enjoys manipulating people, and using sex to do so, particularly authority figures, but admits that she doesn't really like the act itself.

[[folder: Live Action TV]]
* In the first season of ''Series/{{Dexter}}'', Dexter Morgan claims to find sex "undignified" and intentionally dates a rape victim in order to avoid it. Later subverted as since he does start to care about his family and, by season 3, he enjoys having sex with Rita.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': In a series steeped in sexual politics, RoyalBrat Joffrey Baratheon stands out as being a rather asexual character. Finding talk of sex to be boring, he only really brings it up as him needing to consummating who he'd marry or threatening to rape Sansa, while showing no indication he'd enjoy it [[{{Sadist}} outside of seeing Sansa suffer]]. When Tyrion hires two prostitutes for Joffrey [[YouNeedToGetLaid in hopes it'll calm him down]], Joffrey only makes them beat each other up due to enjoying pain more and partly to spite his uncle.
* In the ''Series/MastersOfHorror'' episode "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", the albino serial killer Moonface is not interested in "sexual things" according to his longtime and crazed prisoner Buddy. [[{{Sadist}} He just enjoys inflicting pain]].
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Moriarty fits this trope, only showing interest in any sex to manipulate those around him.
* Implied for recurring villain Lore from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Lore is an android who shares nearly the same design as another android, Data, who explicitly does not experience sexual attraction.
* ''Series/{{Highlander}}'': The evil Immortal Kalas. He feigns a romantic interest in Duncan's female companion in the 20s, but that's just so he can get her alone and try to strangle her for revenge against Duncan. Later, he captures [[HeroicSeductress Amanda]], and basically tells her she's wasting her time using her "not inconsiderable talents" on him. Kalas ''did'' spend most of his long life in a monestary, so at the very least, he's accustomed to going without.
