She's married.
I would figure that if her partner was not interested in sex, she would have found an alternative by now.
Fitting the definition?

Hmm, I would say that this person, along with many others, has some mental problems. mental illness should not be frowned upon, or seen as shameful.
If you are married but have not had sex in 17 years, or are 20 years old and a man and don't like sex, then something is wrong, it is that simple. Asexuality is really a choice, though it may be so deept seated that it seems like a natural state.
Usually there is some kind of trauma in ones past, overbearing parents who drilled some religious nonsense int ones head, abuse of some kind, a myriad of reasons. Believe me, asexuality is not a normal or a healthy state.
