Well, it's possible the asexuals got that way from accepting that they were never going to have sex.
Also smart people are more likely to take ideas seriously, including the idea prevalent in many social circles that having a sex drive is evil. See Scott Aaronson's recent comment about how he once begged to be chemically castrated.
I think that, while it is indeed possible for asexuality to arise that way, most evidence seems to point away from that conclusion....
