Is lack of something is something? No, it is lack of it.

Sexuality is very strongly tied to neural centers which are close to friendship and empathy. So asexual person supposedely will be very dry to everyone in their life. I saw no researches or even tries of researches - seems it is super hard to detect or super rare to occur.

For some reason all cases of asexuality I saw were about a lack of sexual or romantic drive, and never about lacking any sexuality (I am not even sure it is possible).

It seems a bit like asking is atheism a religion. It's not but it is a type of belief system or worldview.

Atheism is not a belief system, tho.

Atheism is not about "not believing in god" or "believing in science", atheism is about lack of believing, atheist people can be atheists without realizing it, so it is pretty different to religions and belief systems.
