From a personal or subjective state. Yes, it would be judgemental (good or bad) to assume this person's biological abnormality (if that is what is going on here) is not up to my standards.

It is two separate thoughts.
Okay, I understand your distinction.

Whether or not the issue is so personal for me is uncertain. I don't consider myself asexual, but I suppose the parallel between the ignorance that surrounds asexuality and the ignorance that surrounds homosexuality made it personal enough.

Still, since biology (like all sciences except physics, I believe) is ever-changing, I think it's possible that we could discover that human beings can have a natural disinclination towards sex.
