INFO: I thought eros was sex love and agape was non-sex love? (disclaimer I know nothing about Greek or classic. This is based entirely on being raised Catholic and the pope had a whole thing about the importance of agape once)

You could even argue that depending on your view of sex, sex could as easily go with philia as eros The Greek god Eros (Cupid for Romans) was the one who shot you with arrows that made you go crazy with obsession, "love at first sight" But there was also the goddess Philotes

Philotes, the goddess of philia, was the goddess of people "getting along", she's the good twin sister of Neikea, the goddess of quarrels And that explicitly *included* sex - she's the goddess of sex, as in the sex act (as opposed to more important things like marriage)
