In his psychoanalytic discourse, Jacques Lacan refers to the human excrement
[l'objet petit a] as the ultimate excrement, as a metaphor for the produce of 'creating'. That which is the result of our thoughts and considerations: that which we do, as well as the result of those actions.
In that same way, visual arts have embraced the concept of human excrement, of which the Merda d'Artista by Piero Manzoni is the obvious example:
In answer to your remarks: love spreads out as a germ throughout everything that concerns human activity. Thinking it through, the erotic/sexual connotation in these matters should now be less odd. Unless by "odd" you mean that you couldn't imagine doing it yourself, but that's no where near close to an interesting thesis for a paper… ;|
