English term or phrase: above sex
A common misconception is that women are above sex and think that it is dirty. This is completely wrong. Women have some of the most kinky and wild fantasies you could imagine. Just like men, sex makes women feel a sense of physical well-being on a primal level.

to be above sex
poder prescindir del sexo


Explanation:
Según la discusión que encontré sobre "to be above something" (ver abajo), parece ser que esta expresión significa "poder prescindir de algo" (to cope well in spite of something).
Como alternativa, se me ocurre "las mujeres no le dan trascendencia al sexo" o algo así.

más allá del sexo


Explanation:
El significado es el que dicen todas las respuestas: que para las mujeres el sexo no es prioritario, y además es poco interesante
Una forma coloquial de decir esto es con la expresión "estar más allá de"
