There are so many things to comment on here...

1 - Asexual does not mean "doesn't have sex ever". So, an asexual writer can write sex scenes based on experience in the same way that a sexual person can. They can also mimic others' writings about sexual feelings, if necessary, to make the story more complete.

2 - Do you also not read M/M sex scenes written by heterosexual/homosexual/bisexual/pansexual females? Because that's 95% or more of most fandoms. (Bonus Info: Asexual is not a type of sexual orientation.)

3 - How would anyone know that any writer is asexual? I don't know of anyone who would put it in an author's note before a story with smut. They might post about it in a flocked journal but that would presume that you've been following them and reading their other fic, so you must enjoy their writing? I'm so confused.

Also, I would like to direct you to Asexuality.org so that you can better understand the community and the differences on the Asexuality spectrum.

(Bonus Info: Asexual is not a type of sexual orientation.)

Setting aside the many asexual individuals who say their experience contradicts this assertion, not all researchers in the field of human sexuality agree with it either. Which is to say, this is not a statement of fact. It's a supposition that has not been conclusively proven either way.

AYRT

Everything I've seen about it claims it as a statement of fact. Can you point me in the direction of other research? I'd be interested in reading more about it.

Well, here's two articles for a start:

http://www.apositive.org/wordpress_backup/?page_id=222

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/18/asexual-disorder_n_3361472.html?1371562287


In the first article, we have DeRogatis and Klein, arguing that asexuality is not a sexual orientation:

DeRogatis: “It doesn’t mean that they don’t have a sex drive, it just means that they are choosing not use it.”

Klein: “Every clinician has seen people with no interest in sex, sometimes lifelong,” he said. “Some have been exploited; some have personality disorders; some are terrified of their own sexuality; some are, well, just not interested in sex.”


But we also have Coleman on the fence:

“Some people may not have much of a sexual drive. But does that make it an orientation? It’s a very interesting question that is certainly worthy of investigation.”


And we have Bancroft fairly convinced that asexuality is a sexual orientation:

Bancroft: “I think it would be very surprising if there weren’t asexuals, if you look at it from a Kinseyan perspective, that there’s this huge variation in human sexuality.”


And in the second article we have Bogaert (who is arguably the world's leading expert on asexuality) leaning more towards recognizing asexuality is a sexual orientation:

"Sexologist and professor Anthony Bogaert, considered by many to be the father of asexuality research, says that current data point to 'some intriguing clues that there may be a biological disposition that pushes [aces] to an asexual orientation.' However, he admits 'it's still very much an open question.'"
