I think it depends. Talking about love abstractly is not talking about sex. But when a man says "I love you" I think lots of the time (when he isn't saying this to his mother, fingers crossed I am correct on this) he is really saying "I want to have sex with you." and when a woman says "I love you" SHE is saying "I want to have your babies and spend everything you make on them."

I don't see anything wrong with love being, mostly, wound up in our drive to reproduce ourselves. And I certainly don't mind discussions of love (and even sex) that aren't designed to excite and arouse (I say "designed" because you can never be sure you aren't exciting SOMEONE- after all shoes excite some people). But that's just me- I am not looking for excitement- except of the intellectual variety.
