I have heard this from several religious people in our town and Anne Coulter says it. What is the basis for this assumption?

They don't know any better now, do they? I've experienced both, with the same person, and I know which brings me more joy and fulfillment...
I suspect Anne Coulter is hard pressed to get anyone to have sex with her, never mind God sanctioned sex...

Hard to say, really. I'm not a Christian (I was once a Catholic, though), and I really can't say I like Anne Coulter. I think she's absolute scum spawn, but that's just me.
All joking aside, people of any religion feel a certain level of comfort when they are around others of their faith- it's a bad habit to get into, because it has a certain tendency to limit experiences and new avenues of growth to that individual.
Some people just feel it necessary to extend that feeling of comfort to other areas of life, I suppose (Christian bookclub, a Catholic study group, a Pagan get-together, a Buddhist night out, or what not)
To some people, being a Christian and having vanilla, Missionary sex with another Christian might be what makes them feel best, makes their sex "joyful"- to the point that they believe people who aren't Christian can't experience the same level of joy.
Now- Me- I like whips, chains, plugs and dog collars. I'm not sure I'd describe it as "joyful", but it's certainly more fun than vanilla sex any day! ;)

No basis, of course, only a goal. Christians like Anne Coulter don't work from evidence to conclusion, they start with the conclusion and attempt to find evidence to support it.
The primary feeling behind Christianity is Guilt, not Love. You can see it in the concepts of sin and repentance, and the entire doctrine of sacrificial substitution. Christianity focuses on guilt, and tries to instill it as much as possible -- because a guilty man will lack the self-esteem to fight back. A guilty man is malleable, like a sheep. They will do as they're told and grovel for forgiveness on their knees, without ever questioning why it is they need forgiveness to begin with.
The easiest way to instill guilt is to take something fundamentally natural and experienced by all humans (sexual desire), and to portray it as evil or wrong outside of the conditions specified by the Church. This is why they say that non-Christians have joyless sex.
Is it based on anything -- no, nothing except a fundamental desire to enslave and control through methodical guilt-mongering.

Anne Coulter has the brain capacity of a thimble. Stuff just dribbles out of her mouth unchecked. This is another example of people who delude themselves for self validation.
Sex is a complex physical activity which is enhanced and becomes better with study, practice and experience.
Love adds a whole different psychological spin to it.
The fact that Anne Coulter would accuse non-republican, non-christians of being incapable of love is typical for folks like her. Ya know, the kind trying to sell books using shock value.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha
I could tell some stories here to prove them wrong, but I won't.
========================================
EDIT
Actually, I will share this tidbits.
I often hallucinate during sex and the hallucinations are usually very spiriutally powerful. For instance, I once hallucinated that my partner and I were 50 feet tall and were fornicating in public while a bunch of regular sized people watched. I felt like a demi-god of sorts.
There's other stuff that is a bit too personal to share. But the contention that non-Christians can't have spiritually fulfilling sex is ludicrous.

Nope; never heard that one, yet.
"Joyless" sex, eh?
And exactly what do Christians consider to be "joyous" sex? Do they have a short prayer meeting before getting under the covers and turning out all the lights?
Sex is one of the greatest gifts we were given, and it should be quite obvious to anyone with more than a 6th grade education, that a woman has an organ dedicated to only one function - sexual pleasure.
Is a husband the only one with the right to ring her doorbell? Is the owner of the clitoris not allowed to ring it herself? What if she chooses to remain single?
Some "Christians" have some serious issues with sexuality...

I haven't heard it put that way, but I think what they are trying to convey is the beauty and spiritual nature of sex.
As Christians we believe that sex is a gift from God and it is most beautiful when engaged in by a faithful, committed & married couple. (never heard of the non-Christian piece, though.)
