It's fairly common for sex therapists to recommend that couples schedule sex and have sex at all (but not only) scheduled times, on the grounds that people may not be in the mood at first, but enjoy it anyway. While it may be a miserable experience for a few people, I doubt that it is miserable in general (and I'm not sure why it would be).

It's certainly possible for people to have akrasia in regards to pleasure, and scheduling can help with that.

I think possible problems come in if a partner (possibly both partners in the case of fertility) really doesn't want to at the moment, but is feeling pressured.
