Their have been numerous individuals who have written on God and sexuality, some comparing the ecstasy of God's love to the ecstasy of sex. Often in the bible the relationship between God and man is described as that of a bridegroom to a bride.

St. John of the Cross (15th century Spain) wrote some beautiful poetry expressing his love for God which could easily be a poem written by someone to their lover. Loreena McKennitt does a gorgeous job putting one of these poems to music.

As for me...tough to say. God's more of a verb than a noun to me. I do appreciate that sexuality can be a very effective way of describing the passion of religious belief.
