I remember in the Silmarillion how it said that when Morgoth ruined the elves into Orcs, He could not, of his own power, give them life in the same way that Eru did. So his creation were only mockeries of Elves, not a new race. So that suggests that, disgusting as it may be, they reproduced naturally.
