Love is not a mirror
If you look at your lover and see yourself, your vision is obscured.
If you love your lover in how they are similar to you, your love lacks respect.
Nor is love for difference a good thing. If you love your lover for their strangeness, you are seeing them as an adjunct to your life, an accessory.
Love your lover for who they are, complex, complete, self-created, seeking, searching.

Sex is like Dancing
Sex is like dancing: creating art by merging body and mind. Kinæsthetic art.
A performed art; transient, ephemeral.
Sometimes more structured, sometimes more free-form. There is sex that follows known and agreed patterns; there is sex that surprises. Sometimes the best dance has surprises within the constraints of a structured form; sometimes the best sex is not spectacular or newsworthy.
Sometimes dance is bad; sometimes sex is bad.
When they're good, though, they knit together mind. body, and soul in a glorious way.
PS: Rather far from anything John Ruskin would approve, I'm afraid.
