When we worship God we are the closest to Him that we can become. During true worship we are emotionally and spiritually naked before God. Ever notice that when we try to hide yourself from God in worship you get lost in the music or just kinda sit there waiting for it to be over. But God wants a true worship from you, He wants you fully engaged in worship. He wants to connect with you during worship so love can flow freely between the two of you. There is Love making in worshiping God.
God defines sex as an act of worship between a man and wife. In sex we are in a celebration of God's decision to unite US. That may sound strange. In fact in an informal survey most people said that their sex lives don't include thoughts of God. God created you and your spouse to become one flesh. He made each of you for the other and gave you sex to consummate, celebrate, and solidify your union.

The Big Idea
Sex is an act of worshiping God
God's View
Genesis 2:20-25 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
Prov 5:18-19 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
Song of Solomon 4:16 Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
