Where did this come from?! out of the blue bam you pull this out of nowhere. And of course it's not hereditary its a mental choice, not a physical atribute.

Uhm...I think that was the point...that it doesn't exist.
Well technically you can have a baby without having sex. You can reproduce by division, have both sets of organs in one body, or be artificially insemenated.

This one is much funnier if you've seen the strip:
I don't suffer from lycanthropy, I enjoy every minute of it!
Do note that "mitosis" is the name of the process where a eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells, with the duplication of the chromosomes and nucleii being the key part of the process.
As all bacteria lack nucleii, they can not undergo "mitosis." Instead, most bacteria usually undergo fission, where one individual partitions out enough genomic DNA so that it can split into two, or more daughter cells. Some bacteria, like Clostridium, produce spores, and the giant bacterium Epulopiscium fishelsoni, simply buds off tiny clones of itself.
The closest thing to "hereditary celibacy" is when one some sort of genetic defect that prevents one from being able to reproduce, i.e., one suffers from aneuploidy (that is, you have Turner's , Down's or Klinefelter's Syndromes), and you can not produce gametes, or you're a woman who has Androgen Insensitivity, yackita yackita.
In other words, Mother Nature made sure She broke the mold when she made you.
