Actually, I'd be offended by the "lesbian" question. I don't think that "issues with your sexuality" is an appropriate way to ask if someone has ever had a girlfriend. It makes lesbian or bi relationships/people sound like a "problem" rather than a non-heterosexual orientation.

But, specific to the question you asked, I can see how the question you raised makes sense. He was asking about whether you engage in any form of sexual activity, including with yourself. Or, said another way, he was wondering if you were avoiding all sexual expression, or just sexual relationships with people, or just intimate relationships without sex, etc.
