We also know from his writings that he was very against any form of passion [including in the bedroom]. In I Corinthians 7.3 he writes that that each husband and wife shall give each other their όφειλήν (debt/duty). There is no mention of sexual enjoyment or passion. What he intended by that word can be debated and one interpretation could possibly tie his ideas to the Stoics view of passionless sex.
However, his language is a far cry from the Song of Songs where two young people are desperate to get their hands on one another's bodies.
