These lyrics are pretty wrong, according to their official site it goes:

Strange like skin That I believe in It stretches over bone And smells like honey on the wind All so strange I can't remember Where the heartache ends And the fever it begins

Scenes of Mary Magdalene Who shakes her lover's bones At all the demons in the window All so strange The dreams that haunt my bed The heart-rate swells And quickens near the end

And then slows down It slows down And I lay down And I wont try to run

Strange like skin That I believe in It leaks out of the phone And spills like honey From the window Warm and strange I can't remember How the heartbreak mends When the fever it remains

And I'm so down So down So down And I lay down And I wont try to run

I think this song's summed up in the lines: "I can't remember Where the heartache ends And the fever it begins" and "And I'm so down" I think the fever he's talking about and what the chorus is all about is depression, and he doesn't know how much of his depression is his heartache for a lost lover or the illness itself. I don't think it's about sex really, more him lying at home on his bed feeling like crap, not recovering from a girlfriend who left him. This fits in with other songs like Still In Love Song.
