Well, in my religion, "love" is supposed to happen quite often between a husband and wife, and just for pleasure, too.
Paul's advice was just that, his own advice. He called it a "gift" but I want to call it a sexual dysfunction. Maybe he was blessed for dedicating himself "to the work" because of a covenant he made, but I don't remember reading about it.
Regardless, lots of nasty, all the time.
If you have problems with "the nasty" because you think it's just that (nasty), then you should seek sexual counseling. You're mocking God if you think the desire to "mate" is evil. The exception would be bestiality, homosexuality, etc.
