While I'd never describe myself as asexual, I am pretty much in the same "no sex life or desire to have one" boat that those self-described asexual folks find themselves in, so I'll answer anyways: Nope, I genuinely have no interest whatsoever in procreating, and I don't really think I'm missing anything. I understand and experience pure physical attraction just fine, but I choose not to act upon it - celibacy is simply a life choice I've made that I've never had cause to regret.
As for the physical act of sexual congress, the idea itself generally tends to disgust me, but not for the reasons you might suspect: I really do not ever want to even imagine other guys naked in any context whatsoever, let alone actually look at them having sex (blech!), so I find heterosexual intercourse to be something I'm perfectly fine with on an intellectual level but consider pretty darn yucky in actual practice.
The problem with that is I'm a heterosexual male - the way my brain works, even imagining myself engaged in sexual congress comes with a mental disconnect such that I interpret those images as if I'm watching some other guy naked, and I would genuinely prefer to look at horribly bloated rotting carcasses for hours than even so much as momentarily glance sidelong at a naked guy's junk. I think you can see how this presents a problem. Or rather, would present a problem if I actually wanted to think about having sex (which I don't, because I don't actually want to ever have sex for a variety of other reasons so I see no reason to imagine it).
I'm completely cool with watching or imagining women having sex though, it's just the involvement of guys in the process that repulses me, so watching several attractive women going at it instead is a far more appealing prospect - essentially the last several paragraphs were a roundabout explanation for why I watch a lot of lesbian porn, ha ha!
