Paul specifically says that married people should have sex regularly.
ETA: Read Song of Solomon, or at least the wiki entry on it.

Quote: ...it celebrates sexual love. It gives "the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy". The two are in harmony, each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexual intimacy; the women (or "daughters") of Jerusalem form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader.
Where does it say that you have to be married? Is it in there or is it another one of those apologists applications?
Also, I'm not sure that Solomon is a very good reference. The man had 300 wives and 700 sex slaves. Who gives a fuck what that guy has to say about having sex within marriage?! He was plowing a thousand chicks. You know what - Fuck You Solomon, I won't complain about sex only in marriage either when my god makes a special rule just for me to bang 1000 women with no consequence.
