A few ideas folk,
It should be assumed that Orcs breed because:
A) They were able to breed with Dunlendings to create
Half-Orcs, Neccessitating some compatible form of
reproduction.
B) They would need some method of reproducing without
the aid of Magic or Divine Power as they flourished,
even though Morgoth was imprisoned.
C) It seems a pretty common theme in all of Tolkien's works
that all his Races of people and creatures bred in the
standard human fashion(though I can't really explain
Trolls or Dragons as there is no reference to their
breeding)
All in all, If I was a great corruptor of Divine creations I would mock all aspects, perhaps when creating Orcs Morgoth
made sure there were both male and female?
Cheers
