Jordan Maxwell explains that Yahweh is not God’s name, but an expressive term that was always associated with sex.
Is there any evidence backing this up? Is it true?

please! actually watch the segment before you answer
In Exodus, Moses asks God what name he should give Pharaoh when the Pharaoh asks which god has sent him. To that, God’s reply, in Hebrew, is YHWH. This is usually expressed in speech as either Yahweh (or Jahweh) or – more archaically in English – as Jehovah. These letters – known collectively as the Tetragrammaton – are usually interpreted – with the insertion of the relevant vowels – as meaning "I am", implying that God’s nature and existence is eternal and unchanging in past, present and future, but this is pure speculation and really only a part of the full story that gives a number of possible interpretations upon the Tetragrammaton.
The important fact is that almost all of the interpretations relate to some state of "being", including "existence", "causing to be", "becoming" and "he that exists".
However, Jordan Maxwell – whilst speaking a huge amount of tripe besides this (Islam is based on Venus worship??) – is correct in certain respects. First of all, "Yahweh" is not the name of God. It is an expression given by God to Moses to distinguish Him from the other gods. God "is", whilst the other gods "are not". The difference between my God and your gods, Moses is saying, is that mine is real and yours are a pagan fantasy.
Maxwell is, moreover, also correct to say that the construction JHWH is also strongly associated in kabbalistic tradition with the demiurge – the potency that underpins creation and which is aligned in gnostic teachings with Satan or Samael. However, to say that it is "always" associated with sex is to simplify things in a way that is rather typically American, I’m sorry to say. It should not be surprising that an expression relating to the procreative urge is sexual.
But I am afraid to say that this association is not ancient, as Maxwell would have us believe, but occurred first amongst Jewish scholars of the Middle Ages and, moreover, has been widely discredited amongst etymologists as it draws upon a conjectured causative stem that simply doesn’t exist in that form of the verb.
In this respect, then, Maxwell is – like so many eminent occultists – putting prurience before good research. In other words, if an explanation has sex in it, it must be a good explanation because obviously our puritan judaeo-christian society has suppressed any explanation that involves sex (q.v. the "Islam evolved from Venus-worship" assertion).
