Just one point lazy.
Not EVERY creature needs to have sex. they just need to reproduce.
Asexual division, it's reproduction only rather than any sort of intimacy it has all the fun of any other regulated bodily function, the reproductional equivilent of taking a dump. Or, it's like giving birth without ANYTHING else, you know, like the virgin Mary, how was that a good deal for her anyway?
Come to think of it, reproduction is really only needed due to a need to survive as long as possible. Just get some of that eternal life stuff and reproduction no longer has a purpose. Hmm, maybe that's why people actually would forgo sex in favor of seeking a potion of eternal life, or you know, obstain for the sake of their faith which promises that very thing.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
