Thoughts about sex as an asexual

I hate those people who say that sex is the most intimate and spiritual thing you can do with another person or some shit like that... I've seen multiple posts saying this. And it's so fucking stupid. Animals have sex and you're not saying the same thing about it. Sex to humans is like eating and sleeping, we need it to survive (we need sex at certain levels to procreate) but also like to do it for pleasure. (When I say "we" I mean the general population.)
By putting it on such a pedestal like this it erases the idea that people can love each other completely without having sex. It erases asexuality entirely. And removes the idea that romantic attraction can exist on its own without being anything less.
I'm not trying to downplay it and say that sex isn't important, that it doesn't connect people. It probably does I just frankly don't care and don't experience that myself.
As long as it's being done between to consenting people than good for you!
But this shit is purely purity culture. Sex isn't all that great- just another thing animals do.
Idk maybe I'm understanding this wrong but this is what I was thinking about last night staring at my ceiling.

Not understanding that not everyone is asexual

In my teen years when people start learning about genitals and sex, I used to think we all just like to joke about sex but not ACCTUALLY do it. I'd make sexual jokes non-stop under the assumption that nobody would acctually do the sex fr. I really thought that everyone was just like me and would never wanna have sex. I thought having a crush was just for shits n giggles too. Like just something to joke about. I'm 22 now and sometimes I still struggle to wrap my mind around it, that people acctually like sex and have crushes and it's not just something funny to joke about.

My boyfriend doesn't do anything for me unless I have sex with him

Hi, this is a throwaway account. I have been ace for as long as I can remember, but I have been out for about 4 years now. I have been with my boyfriend for about 3 years now and we don't have sex often. This is due to my medical issues and being ace. He was okay with this until we moved out on our own. Since we have more alone time that we should be having sex at least once a month, but he will backtrack and say it's okay. Now if I ask for help with anything, such as carrying things (I have some weakness), driving, and any other simple things that someone wouldn't feel to make a comment on. These comments are often the lines of "I am not your maid" or something similar then followed up by "I don't say anything about us never having sex". I just been frustrated that I can't be loved or cared for by someone. I apologize if this post isn't allowed, but I needed to vent somewhere with no biased opinion.
