My guess is that if a man presents himself to a doctor as 'asexual', they would run blood tests, especially testosterone levels, recommend counseling, subscribe Viagra and just in general freak out. Not being interested in sex is anathema in out society, male or female, although females are expected to be a lot more sexually passive. (Otherwise we're 'sluts' dontchaknow)
