Most people want intimacy. Perhaps OP should find out why she doesn't and try to deal with it first.
What??? If she doesn't want it, she doesn't want it. Your post seems to imply there is something wrong with her. Believe it or not, there are people that are asexual.
Not true anymore.
Lots of couples don't want kids, but focus on education, career, travel etc.
Didn't I mention that OP has an adult child (one or more) already?
But there is still a question - why she doesn't want intimacy. Previous trauma, body dysmorphia, health issues?
1) you can be intimate without having sex
2) whatever her reason is, it doesn't matter nor does it affect you so why are you so focused on figuring this out or stating that you think there is something wrong with her?

Humans are wired to desire sex, can we agree on that? While nothing is "wrong" there is something certainly abnormal about having zero desire for sex as long as there are no physical issues (hormonal, etc.) that are causing it. Let's stop with the PC police posts for a day, can we?

Humans are wired for a lot of things but we exist on a spectrum. Asexuals should be able to live peacefully and be accepted without being pathologized as long as they are happy with themselves. Not PC at all, just compare asexuality to other things which are part of us and where no one is hurt.

Sure but asexuals should recognize that they are a small minority. Thus finding someone who is like them is very difficult. Relationship without sex or similar sexual activities is an oxymoron for most people. Friendship is not...

No, humans are not "wired" to desire sex.
And, there is nothing "abnormal" about having a zero desire for sex. Plenty of people are physically capable of having sex (no physical limitations, no ED, hormonal imbalance, etc.) yet have no desire for it.

True, to the bolded.
Sexuality, in of itself, travels on a spectrum. Some people are absolutely disgusted with the idea of ANY sexual contact. Others have no issue with physical affection, such as holding hands, cuddling, arms around each other, hugs and even kissing...as long as it doesn't lead to sex.

And some people need sex all the time and will do anything to get it. Frankly I'd rather be around asexuals than the type on the other end of the spectrum. An asexual doesn't need to do anything while nymphos are very needy and often will act out if they aren't getting what they want. I would ask which type is more problematic.
