Actually this verse does come up with Catholics and Orthodox; it's actually a sin to decline sex with your spouse without good reason. Not being in the mood is not a good reason unless something big like a death happened and it needs to be confessed to a priest.
I've never actually heard it in Protestant circles outside of Fundamentalism so I couldn't say what they think about it. I think one of the reasons you won't hear it discussed so often because it is a rather in house matter, and one where if it is a problem the party being refused isn't going to talk about it publicly out of shame (how many guys are going to confess to being in a permanent dry spell?)
