I’m not an asexual so my opinion here might have little value but I would imagine asexuals might still enjoy physical intimacy that is non-sexual in nature. Do they not need things like holding hands, hugging, kissing, sitting close to one another either? Even non-touch love language types like acts of service would be impossible for an ai.
i am on the ace spectrum and for me, yes, i want those things. and i will have sex too, but generally i'd rather do other things. i've never experienced lust for anyone in my life, but i have two grown children and miss cuddling now that im single again.
