"The Trevor Project explains that asexual individuals, who may also be called an “ace” or “aces,” have little to no interest in engaging in sex. The vast majority of aces are romantic and desire emotionally affectionate relationships. An ace may also be aromantic, in which case they don't feel attraction to others.
There are also numerous ways an ace person may identify. Here are some notable people who have publicly expressed their asexuality, or who have been thought to be asexual by historians..."

Could pretty much add HP Lovecraft to that. Since he was married for a while, he was arguably a quasi-romantic ace. His wife was intellectually attracted to him, and probably vice versa (to some limited extent). And she confirmed that he didn't care anything about sexual intimacy.
While some explain lack of coitus as why the marriage ended, it was more due to the fact that Sonia lost her hat shop and had to take on a job that kept her on the road or residing in a different state almost all the time, with him isolated and half-starving in NYC -- a place he despised. He eventually made it back to his hometown, and somewhere along the way or after that told her to just write him off, since the relationship was effectively dead, anyway. Divorce was never fully completed, though.
