New Living Translation (NLT)
5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Can theists here explain the prohibition of sex while praying? I do some of my best praying while having sex.
I don't think that verse is saying don't have sex while praying. I think it's saying that you have to give it up to your spouse unless you both decide it's time for some prayer.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
