A difficult part of me as person

There's nothing wrong with erotic poetry. Blame God for creating romantic love and sex if you have an issue with it, I guess. Many spiritual metaphors have been drawn from it over the centuries, regardless.

Some interpretations of The Song of Solomon insist that erotic love is used by it’s author, as a metaphor for divine love. Not sure that interpretation works for me. It is one of the most poetic books in the Bible, however we are supposed to interpret it.
A bundle of myrrh is my well beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
There are those of us that don't equate "sex" with "love."
I find this interesting.
Something to ponder... Did you once favor one gender over another when it came to interest in intimacy? If not, then you are probably right. But if you did, at what point did that interest fall away? Was it perhaps when spiritual pursuits took precedence?
Not questioning your assessment, but just some food for thought.
As this continues to grow in length, I wonder what will happen when we land upon a gender identifier that has the same first letter as another...

I have only had interest in females before. When it come to sexual issues that is.I find this interesting.

Stiil many say in English: let's make love
So, the majority does (or are blabbing)
Many also say "I'm dead" when they find something extremely funny.
I don't really think they are, though.

Nothing wrong with that. I've considered myself gray-A for awhile (the thing kind of in between asexual and having a drive). I also realized that in my own life, being more spiritual has sometimes made me less asexual, as I feel I connect better with the universe in such cases and also, with people. My saying this is not saying you aren't spiritual, you're probably a much more spiritual person than me. But I'm just saying try not to make labels about yourself too permanent even if they are true, because sometimes things change as people grow or change.
I do not know what the QIA stand for
Q is for queer, and I'm guessing A is for asexual. Not sure what I is (though I do know what I am
).

Fits well in this context:
They reveal (Unconsciously) that they are
free from ego for a moment
Sex without love is like "I'm dead"
Well clearly you’re an expert in the subject, so I’ll bow out and take my leave.

Maybe asexual.
Intersex means you were born with both male and female private anatomy.

I would be Asexual because i have no interest or want when it comes to sex.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
I'm mostly asexual myself. Because with out the romance of a committed relationship it doesn't appeal to me.
But there are few times on the spectrum that I feel like I'm chained to an idiot. Lol. Well put!
In popular culture sex seems to be portrayed as reveling in glorious beauty. But I don't see that as reality. It feels cheap that way.
Mostly I had hoped that life is more about other kinds of relationships that are platonic. Oh well.
There's gotta be something to win over. Substance over superficiality.

I am not an expert, I am still working on this one
Being in tune with Love, means being aware (as in Self Realized),
Hence sex without Love = sex without awareness, aka not Self Realized
Not Self Realized is what the the Indian Masters call "Spiritual dead"
Hence I said "Sex without love is like "I'm dead" " (not just applies to sex)
