Actually, nope. Some real-world religion included sex as part of their rituals:

In ancient Egypt the Pharaoh masturbated into the Nile during some sacred rituals, and there were other sexual rituals, including one in which a priestess had sex with a crocodile (a real one).

Sexual couplings were part of several rituals in Mesopotamia. In one, the High Priest, representing the god, mated with a woman on top of a Zigurat. Women worked as sacred prostitutes in some temples as part of a holy ritual.

The Vedic great ritual the Sacrifice of the Horse had the queen have fake sex with a dead horse as part of it.

The Vikings had sex with the slave girl who was to be sacrificed later during a funeral.

The king of the Cenél Conaill in Ulster used to have sex with a mare, kill it, cook it, bath in her stew and eat the stew as part of the ritual during the crowning ceremony.
