The soul does not have a gender like male, female etc. And, sexual needs are based on genders. So, needless to say, that the Soul can't be affected by sexual desires.

Here's a verse from the Upanishads:

Naiva stri Na PumAnesha Na ChaivAyam Napumsakaha |

Meaning

[The Soul or Brahman or the Self] is neither female, nor male not even a Kilva or a sexless person.

ShwetAshataropanishad 5-10

Sexual desires, hunger, thirst etc are innate pravrittis of human bodies as acknowledged by Ayurveda in the following verse:

Sharire Na JAyate Nityam VAnchAh NrinAm ChaturvidhA | VubhukshA Cha PipAsA Cha SushupsA Cha RatisprihA ||

Meaning

On a daily basis the following four-fold desires are born in a human body- Hunger, Thirst, desire for sleep and the desire for sex (RatisprihA).

BhAva PrakAsha 1.110

So, the Soul does not need sex, its the body which have such needs. However, i could not find anything directly from the Vedas.
