I agree with “multiple authors”. The way I would formulate my answer is the following:
In its healthy expression, sex is genital love in a romantic relationship. The more that sex and love are separated, the more problematic. Either loveless sex or sexless love in a marriage or a romantic relationship is an incomplete expression of genital love. Loveless sex tends to be more destructive than sexless love. The foundation of genital love is love and mutual admiration; the sexual expression allows for a means to the deepest possible expression of genital love.
$ex can be a deeply connecting experience expressing love and commitment… but can also be a transactional enjoyable experience of two or more people enjoying a mutually satisfying experience
Herbert: Sex is the most deep and beautiful intimate relation between two bodies that permits the connection of two souls. And by this means, create new life.

I'm with you.

Why is “sex” written here as “$ex”?
