I'm making a character who is asexual due to psychological trauma and romantic advances simply don't work. Normally I'd call it sexual orientation and the canonical 0-point feature, but it also means they resist advances by both genders. I would just call the character Neuter, Sexless or Eunuch except that they're physically fully functional but they have a total lack of sex drive.

I'm tempted to call it either a named 0-point feature on the character sheet with the argument the negative and positive balance themselves, a Quirk in that it does limit gameplay options or even a Perk in that they're all but immune to seduction. Of course it could be all three depending on how they're played, too.
Eunech won't do. I read an observation that Eunech's did not always just feel a big brotherly attitude toward their master's concubines. Of course in a speculative fictional game there can be technological or magical counteraphrodesiacs to replace physical amputation. Maybe even(though this is a side issue) they can be effective enough to be used only on duty thus allowing palace servants to do their job and have a normal life.
