I definitely have some issues with this as well. Usually it doesn't bother me as much as it should, and I just laugh it off.
I should say there there seems to be a large dividing line between two general types of "RPers"when it comes to romance. There are some who romantic/sexual things (if they occur at all) are simply the spice to a story, where as to others the plot is the window dressing for the sex.
To put it simply, some people are RPing like a rated R feature film, and others are RPing like a porno.
Not saying either one is wrong, but I think sometimes people can mistake you for being in the porno camp when you're not, and to them, EVERYONE is in the porno camp. So they get confused when people aren't interested, because to them strings of IC explicit romances are what RP is. Unfortunately this seems to be a common viewpoint among non-rpers as well.
edit: By you, I mean it in a general sense, not the OP specifically.
