Is it sexual when two earthworms each produce sperm and eggs and fertilize each other?

While the process of earthworms exchanging sperm and fertilizing each other involves reproductive activity, it is not considered sexual in the way humans understand it. Earthworms are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs, and their mating behavior is primarily a biological function aimed at reproduction rather than a sexual attraction or desire. Therefore, while it is a reproductive process, it lacks the emotional and social components typically associated with human sexuality.
