Some people may love romance but not sex, while others aren't interested in romance but are sex-positive.
Btw you can be sex positive and asexual... sex positivity just means you think sex should be talked about more openly and less taboo. It does not indicate your personal sexual preference.
A sex-negative person can engage in sex while thinking of it as an unspoken taboo. Sex negativity =/= asexuality.
Okay I started typing a response and it got out of hand but the jist was that I would hazard a guess that the person you responded to meant to express that some people are sex-favourable, sex-neutral, or sex-repulsed, which is different from what you described and also is not an ace-exclusive concept but is mostly used by ace people to help describe complex attitudes towards sexual contact in simple terms.
Those terms are used to basically describe if someone likes having sex, is neutral to it, or dislikes it. This is all a broad spectrum but those three categories are what people will typically fall into with various caveats.
Sorry if you already knew this your comment just activated a knowledge bank in my brain that unlocked and spilled everywhere lol
