This may just be an already repeated viewpoint of the topic but ill go ahead and post it anyways.
Inessa is a largely Asexual character that has never held an interest or have entertained healthy thoughts of sex. She is generally focused on work or helping others most of the time. She has received sexual advances or people have tried to comment about her physical attributes, that would eventually lead into a romantic situation or interest. However, Inessa, being sex stupid (not knowing anything about sex) and being very blunt, generally takes shot's at their confidence or just generally doesn't understand or see what they are trying to do when they try to seduce her. This doesn't however, mean that she cant be sexual, it just means the RP that will allow this to happen hasn't happened yet, and probably wont for a while.
As for ERP and normal RP in general, I find them to bring a higher quality of RP, especially when sexual characters are mixed with non-sexual characters. Makes for some immensely interesting RP as in real life, you will often have to navigate you're environment and co-workers, which can be a very diverse group of both homo, hetero, asexual and so on. This is especially true with Free Company story based role play's, where generally large group's of character's will have to be able to handle being around people they both like and don't like. IC temper's and sexual frustrations will flare, characters may find themselves to be changed ICly to something they once weren't, but in the end, its interesting RP.
Of course though, ERP or sex seems to be a common or relevant theme in general NPC interactions and the lore even say's that there are Brothel's and sex slave trade that's been around for a very, very long time in Eorzea, so it would make sense from both an RP, world lore and story standpoint for ERP and general interactions between characters in normal RP to co-mingle, as in ERP relationships and interactions carrying over into normal RP and having some sort of impact on it.
Just my thoughts on it though. I haven't ever ERPed since Ive been on Balmung.  @_@
