"Repression" sounds unnecessarily negative to me-- it usually involves guilt, disgust, or even the imposition of others, leading to an inability to sexual express oneself. Choosing not to have sexual feelings, to me, might better be called subversion-- but I think "choosing to be asexual" is good enough.
I like my terminology better than yours, but if we agree on the facts, then it doesn't really matter too much.
I'm no fan of Freud, but his term sublimation (already mentioned upthread, by Ham iirc) seems apt.
