Plato isn't that difficult to understand or work with.
Platonic love refers to his idea of the Ideal. He saw two types of love, one is the earthy type and one is connected to the divine. Yes he saw sex as healthy and natural for the plebs but ideally it did not taint love which should be directed towards the divine. Ideal love transcends sex.
