I'm not so sure that men and women are very different. People say that women need to understand how men NEED sex. But I think women need sex too; we're just not allowed (by social convention) to admit it openly. Similarly, men need love; love is not just for women!
I think there are different kinds of things. Sex can be a sport. And sex can be part of love. I do think sex can be more intimate and more fulfilling when it's part of love, although it can be very physically fulfilling when it's a sport. But there's an emotional satisfaction that both men and women experience when sex is an expression of love.
But of course, even when sex is part of love, it can be approached in a way that's not terribly serious. And even when it's just a casual encounter it can feel profoundly spiritual.
As you say, it's a complex mixture of passion, deep emotions, physical pleasure and baggage. That's what makes it so worthwhile!
