Dunno if this is what you were looking for exactly, but here are some snipbits from the Theology of the Body study that examines that verse and applies it in a sexual context:
Theology of the Body: Talk 5: The Two Become "One Flesh"
Living the "Great Mystery" of Marriage
Cycle 5: Christian Marriage
1. Reverence for Christ
"Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject on everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her" (Eph 5:21, 24-25)
According to this analogy, the wife is a symbol of the Church and the husband is a symbol of Christ.
Christ came not to be served but to serve- to lay down His life for His Bride (see Mt 20:28).
St. Paul does not justify male domination. This is the result of sin (see Gen 3:16).
St. Paul is seeking to restore the orginial order before sin.
1a. Marriage "corresponds to the vocation of Christians only when it reflects the love which Christ the Bridegroom gives to the Church His Bride and which the Church.... attempts to return to Christ" (TB, 312).
1b. Christians "must no longer live as the Gentiles do." They "are darkened in their understanding... due to their hardness of heart." So put off "your old nature which... is corrupt through deceitful lusts, ... and put on the new nature, created in the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Eph 4:17 - 18, 22-24).
1c. Since the "submission of the Church to Christ... consists in experiencing His love," we can conclude that "the wife's 'submission' to her husband... signifies above all 'the experiencing of love'" (TB, 320).
1d. "So therefore that 'reverence for Christ'... of which [St. Paul] speaks, is none other than a spiritually mature form of that mutual attraction: man's attraction to femininity and woman's attraction to masculinity" (TB, 379).
1e. If a husband is truly to love his wife, "it is necessary to insist that intercourse must not serve merely as a means of allowing [his] climax. ... The man must take [the] difference between male and female reactions into account... so that climax may be reached [by] both... and as far as possible occur in both simultaneously." The husband must to this "not for hedonistic, but for altruistic reasons." In this case, if "we take into account the shorter and more violent curve of arousal in the man, [such] tenderness on his part in the context of martial intercourse acquires the significance of an act of virtue" (LR, 272, 275).
4. The Language of the Body is "Prophetic" & "Liturgical"
A prophet is one who proclaims the mystery of God. The liturgy is where we offer our bodies in worship to God.
But we must be careful to distinguish between true and false prophets (see TB, 365).
And we must worship God "in spirit and truth" (Jn 4: 23 -24).
If we can speak the truth with our bodies, we can also speak lies.
4a. Spouses "are called explicitly to bear witness- by using correctly the 'language of the body' - to spousal and procreative love, a witness worthy of 'true prophets.' In this consists... the grandeur of [marriage] in the sacrament of the Church" (TB, 365)....
4b. Through "the language of the body"- man and woman encounter the 'great mystery.' ... In this way conjugal life becomes in a certain sense liturgical" (TB, 380).
