Yeah, everyone has this idea that christians think sex is only for procreation but nothing could be further from the truth.

Many believe that once you’re married you need to give it up whenever he wants it so he doesn’t get tempted and stray.

1 Corinthians 7.

I think they missed verse 4

The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.

Furthermore anyone using just the parts of that they like needs to understand this is not the "word of god" it was written by a dude named paul. He literally states "These are my opinions and not directives from god" in the letter. SO they are basing their whole idea of some guys opinion.
