You’re right, that part is the worst part in my experience.
I think whatever allows the parents to be happy and take the best care of their kids is ideal. If they need sex to stay close (very normal) then so be it. I think modeling a close and loving relationship is great for kids.
We co-slept with our kids and it was terrible for our sex life. I don’t regret it - the kids loved it and it made a lot of things easier, but I have a hard time imagining how you’d tackle the sex aspect without a great support network and flexible work - anything to allow more time alone here and there.
