Bacteria don’t have sexuality. They copy themselves if you will and exchange small bits of DNA rings with each other but they don’t have sexes individuals belong to

So as old as multicellular life. Which I completely agree with.

Single cell life doesn’t have sexuality, not even all multicellular organisms do. And there are lifeforms like plants that throw around their pollen and hope that pollen of the opposite sex meet or make insects or alike distribute their pollen to other plants. That’s sexuality in the biological sense, too
