None of the romances show the couple having bunny rabbit sex on a lamp hanging from the ceiling at 1.5x speed with yakety sax in the background.
Reminds me of that hilarious "cheesy 80's porn music" mod for DA:O sex scenes 
Oh, BTW: Josephine romance is incredibly cute and sweet. With no sex scenes. 
Even without doing/finishing her gift quest, Sera still mentions sex happening.
So the best bets would definitely be Solas and Josephine if you don't want it to come up at all, or Dorian and Blackwall if you don't mind turning someone down but still having the want to be in a relationship with.

It isn't lack of wanting a close, loving relationship it is, in simplest terms, no sexual attraction to any gender or species. Of course I want a loving relationship, a loving lifelong friend and companion but, that doesn't mean I want to have sex with him or her. I think Bull says it well "We love our friends as much as anyone but, we don't have sex with them."
I don't get why someone wouldn't like having sex but to each their own
I suppose the Josephine romance is exactly for you ! (although I'm still disappointed by the lack of sex scene at least give us the option Bioware!)
I was under the belief that when referring to a person, that asexual meant that one does not seek and or want a relationship. No attraction to others. I could be horribly wrong, but Zambingo shouldn't take heat for his/her response either.
If and to whom you experience sexual attraction and if or to whom you experience romantic attraction don't have to be identical. Just because the two match up for most people doesn't mean it's universal.
Well said.
Edit: Also, in reply to your other comment: I think that Iron Bull could be an interesting romance, but it's very sexual in nature, isn't it? But you're asexual too, and you didn't mind it?
There are scenes where Bull and the PC kiss on several occasions, the PC is also topless at one point as well.
Iron Bull's romance isn't just sexual, it throws a kink factor in there that might be terrifying if you tend to avoid thinking about such things.
None of the romances, even the most suggestive ones like Iron Bull have explicit sex, they're all fade to blacks etc. But there's very, very obvious hints about what exactly they are up to, and Iron Bull most definitely doesn't fit into the "Maybe they were just cuddling and talking about the weather" category. >.>
To some perhaps it could be simply an issue of Cooties, meant light hearted not judgmental. Others unrelated issues, perhaps spiritual. Maybe some have psychological issues of varying origins. There are also physical conditions which makes sex hurt, in this light it is expectionally understandable to avoid an act that literally causes physical pain.I don't get why someone wouldn't like having sex but to each their own

At this point, I'm just going to try to keep an open mind. But yeah, Solas and Josephine sound the best so far.

This is true.
And for me, and a lot of other people, it's about lack of sexual attraction. A heterosexual guy doesn't want to have sex with other men, since he doesn't find them sexually appealing. It's the same for asexuals, except an asexual doesn't find any gender or person sexually attractive.
Don't worry, you didn't spoil anything!
So heartbreaking or happy romance? If you played through both romances, which one did you find personally better? I don't mind tragic romances, usually, but I wouldn't mind a more positive one for a change.

Ehhhh... "kink factor"? What? I might regret asking that.
I didn't expect there to be expicit outright sex. I mostly just don't like the mentioning of sex when I'm roleplaying my Inquisitor as asexual.

Attraction =/= Appeal.
It's important to make that distinction.
I find certain women very appealing to look at. My Math teacher in High School. Sofia Vergara. However, I'm not attracted to them at all.
You might say that I don't actually like the shape of a woman beneath her clothes
I love Lady Gaga's hourglass figure a lot. I find Brazilian hair on women to be incredibly sexy. I prefer them volumptuous over skinny. I find a certain kind of woman appealing. I have a "type"
Still I'm not attracted to her in the slightest.
Any heterosexual man who consistently works out enjoys the sight of his own body. I would assume he also likes his penis (unless he's overcompensating 
). Does that make him attracted to his body or gay or bi? No... he just finds the male body appealing.

I'd tell you that any heterosexual man who goes to the gym enjoys the sight of his own body. I would assume he also likes his penis. Does that make him attracted to his body? No... he just finds it appealing.
Yeah, you're right about that. 
But I specified "sexually appealing," which I presume is pretty similar to sexually attracted?
Well Josie's romance is really cute and sweet but I'm more of a tragic person. I personally never romanced Solas but his whole tragic love thingy was pretty interesting which makes the romance 2x better imo compared to the others. Josie is the safe path while Solas is the more interesting/story rich path.
That seems to be a recurring thought. For me, if a tragic romance is well done, it's completely worth it. But I'm guessing if I got to emotionally invested in Solas's romance, I'd regret it? Some of the replies here lead me to think that Solas's romance is heartbreaking but well made.

That's a perfect way to describe it. It's my absolute favorite romance, but I don't usually get very invested in these things; I really just care about how interesting the romance is (probably because I'm also aromantic haha).
Your offense is self inflicted. I didn't tell you to do anything. I offered a valid explanation for the other poster's pondering.
Right. "Self-inflicted." Case in point:
The term Asexual is supposed to reference the biological process of reproduction without a partner organism. The image reply is likely meant to refute the OP use and thread's use of the term as Non-Sexual.
To bring Asexual to a human persepective should either be referencing some method of cloning or losing the reproduction aspect and have it reference masturbation. Applying it to courtly romance and or lack of sexual contact losses even greater relation to it's originating biological definition.
Bolded emphasis mine, plus your entire final sentence. You actively ignore the the definition of asexual as an orientation which is well-established alongside the reproductive definition. Don't like it? Not our problem. It's still rude.
Well said.

Iron bull is more about the humor, not taking sex too seriously and about who's the boss when. Bull offers quizzy a chance to relax and let someone else be in control now and then and, in between it's a lot of playful slaps and kisses, nothing heavy except really only one scene and, maybe the second if you choose to make it that way, but it can be made humorous. Because of what Bull says, quizzy knows Bull does not think you have to have sex to show you love someone. I head cannon it as quizzy occasionally giving in because loves how happy it makes Bull when he submits - I mean who wouldn't love having the Inquisitor be your slave for an hour or so? Then he turns it to a laugh, so it's cool.
Even the repeatable kiss scene, quizzy just shakes his head as if to say "What am I going to do with this big oaf? Good thing I love him."
That's a perfect way to describe it. It's my absolute favorite romance, but I don't usually get very invested in these things; I really just care about how interesting the romance is (probably because I'm also aromantic haha).
If a romance is intriguing, that's probably one of the biggest appeals for me. I tend to roleplay my characters in specific ways, though. I usually romance people I think that my Inquisitor matches up with best, so I'll see who my Quizzy likes most once I play the game (which will be tomorrow, finally).
Yeah, you're right about that.
Ah ok.

I've gotten waaay too invested in Solas's romance and I still think it was 100% worth it. Gave me a whole new appreciation of DA's lore and worldbuilding.
I'd say go for it if you're into the story, because Solas is very plot-centric. And definitely go for it if you find his character intriguing, because it shows you a side to him that you don't otherwise get to see.
And it's very ace-friendly. Solas himself doesn't come off as asexual but the romance itself, while passionate, feels primarily focused on his admiration of the Inquisitor as a person. So while sex is an important part of most of the other romances, here it just doesn't factor in, because the romance isn't really about the physical aspect.

Tragic might be overstating it a bit, since that implies something far worse than just having a lot of feelings wrapped up into it. I don't know that anyone who has romanced Solas has outright regretted it, and without spoiling stuff, who knows what the future holds? It's a beautiful romance and it allows you to really understand Solas as a character and person. Also has that added bit of story flavor as far as elves are concerned.
Make a female elf and see who catches your fancy best is what I'd suggest. Josephine and Solas are both good for having non-sexual content, though as has been stated there are a few passionate kisses with Solas.
I haven't ignored anything. But continue being offended, that's certainly your prerogative.Right. "Self-inflicted." Case in point:

The problem here is probably that your first post did sound sort of prescriptive, even if that wasn't your intention.
Scout Harding.
Haha, yeah.
But to clarify, while she can admit feelings for Herald, it never passes progress further from what I have heard.
I add my voice for Josephine. I admit I was surprised a bit because I have heard there was an uproar about a sex scene again and there it was - one of the most cutest and innocent romance I have witnessed in Bioware games.
Like someone else said, there is one occurence where a (playful) hint about sex/cuddling/whatever and it is completely in your control.
Josephine isn't Silk Fox .
