I think that's an unfortunate
primary interpretation of the Song of Songs.
And that analogy people read back into gets especially awkward when referring to Jesus and "how beautiful are thy young rows." The description of erotic love in the Song of Songs goes far beyond if someone was using a story of love/redemption, like say Hosea.
