A message to the people of God from Relevant Church of Ybor City, Fla.:
People are not having enough sex. An epidemic of breakups prove the needs that lead to a great sex life are being overlooked. Dirty dishes, frumpy clothes, and a lack of authentic connections are killing the romance. A great sex life is a challenge and takes focus, determination, and planning. Some say it’s an unrealistic goal, but we disagree. We believe you can have a great sex life, in fact we believe God wants you to have a great sex life.Relevant Church is proposing a challenge encouraging married couples to purposely engage in sexual activity for 30 days and singles to intentionally forgo sexual activity for 30 days. We know, it sounds crazy.
Ah, to be young and emergent...

Actually if you read the 30-day guide it's as much about connecting emotionally as it is sexually. The sex part is to grab the guy's attention before he realizes he supposed to share his feelings.
"Orthodox Christians do (as Catholics & Anglicans used to do) traditionally refrain from sexual relations during the fasts."
Anglicans? You found that a sizeable number of Anglicans observed fasting and marital continence in the course of a liturgical year?
Not so much. Although the widespread myth of the influential Anglo-Catholic persists to this day.

Share what? What are these things, "feelings," and why would a man share them?
(heh)
This gets made fun of for being promoted among conservative Christians(and rightly so), but then I get made fun of for asserting that this is NOT the case.
Something doesn't jive.

Uh, no, it really doesn't. These people are making things waaaaaay too complicated.
