Yeah, he's probably asexual: Not experiencing sexual attraction. This is kind of directly stated early on in the show, in "The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem." In this dialogue:

Penny: I know this is none of my business, but I just... I have to ask - what's Sheldon's deal?

Leonard Hofstadter: What do you mean, "deal"?

Penny: You know, like, what's his deal? Is it girls...? Guys...? Sock puppets...?

Leonard Hofstadter: Honestly, we've been operating under the assumption that he has no deal.

Penny: Come on, everyone has a deal.

Howard Wolowitz: Not Sheldon. Over the years, we've formulated many theories about how he might reproduce. I'm an advocate of mitosis.



Deal? Meaning sexual orientation. He doesn't have a deal? He doesn't have sexual orientation, which is one way of saying asexual. Mitosis is a form of reproduction, what kind? Asexual reproduction, which people usually joke about when someone comes out as having an asexual orientation, due to having the same adjective.
