It is all part of the path, the more and more you let go of stuff, the more you naturally are free from such desires and your innate clarity, bliss, your nature shines forth... Which is much better than the above..
If nothing else, when you experience silence, no such passion for form/things, desire for sex, restlessness and worry are going on. Each of the above are examples of one getting caught up in thoughts, desires, the local mind.

No longer controlled by them, yes. Free from desires, including sex, no.
What you describe is often a criticism of Buddhism, that one develops into a being with out emotional content, IOW a robotic existence.
Freedom from attachment to desire. If one can fulfill the desire without doing harm then do it. If not then do not nurture, hang on to, the desire.
