Believe it or not, the BIBLE tells women, and men, to not withhold sex, at least during marriage.
1Cor. 7:3-5 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone, but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone, but also to his wife. DO NOT DEPRIVE EACH OTHER EXCEPT BY MUTUAL CONSENT AND FOR A TIME, SO THAT YOU MAY DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Paul writes this because he knows humanity and relizes that by withholding sex, either the husband or the wife is inviting infidelity.
IF YOU WANT TO REBUT/ARGUE, DO NOT RETORT WITH THE NEXT LINE. PAUL is simply happy with the way he is, unmarried, but God made us to be married. Paul's concession is that not everyone can be expected to live as he does.
