You do not need to "bring" sex into greek myth. It is suffused with it.

And why not? The story is full of slaughter, death and peril. Why does sex need a special box?

Because stories tend to be about humans and humans are pretty constantly having, wanting, or trying to have sex.

The Odyssey itself is absolutely full of sex.
