Of course not.
This is one of the silliest thngs I have ever heard.
1) Orthodox Jewish men have an obligation to please their wives.
2) The act of intercourse is a holy act, since it makes the couple partners with God in creating life. To a Jewish couple, there is no act more holy and spiritual than sex.

That could be hot (with a few twists)
I wonder how many of the responders above are actually Jewish Orthodox ?

Reverend Soleil is absolutely accurate (EDIT - in his second statement, not his first!) - what a very different attitude Jews have towards sex from Christians! So no, the hole in the sheet story just makes us giggle and wonder at the incredible repression of Christian views of sex.

There is such a practice, but it is based on a misreading of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, a poor source for information on mainstream halakhic opinion on sexual matters. Most consider the legend to be an incorrect practice. Nevertheless, the practice does seem to survive in some "fanatical" extremes of Orthodox Judaism, without Rabbinic agreement.

It is definitely not true - it's just an urban myth.
Unlike in Christianity, Judaism does not teach that sex is shameful. There is no concept of 'original sin' in Judaism.
The Talmud goes into great detail about how men are supposed to please their wives, and how often (it depends on how strenuous the man's working job is).

No!!
Snopes (the urban legends reference site) did a great article on this:

...Informing us that, in fact, "independent" men are supposed to have sex with their wives daily if possible!

Um. Who enforces that rule? Big Brother needs to stay out of other people's bedrooms.

If there's a source & evidence maybe it's true, but since I haven't heard of that. I don't think so!

Have you been watching Larry David?
I thought she lost patience with Lar very quickly when he wanted her to get his laundry.

That's an urban legend, usually put forward by Anti-Semitic types. Don't believe everything you hear.
