St Pius X came along and encouraged daily communion.
He wasn't the first to promote frequent Communion; cf. Innocent XI's cuм ad aures (February 12, 1679), quoted above.

I don't know about this... either sex in lawful marriage is a good thing, designed by God, or it's evil and we shouldn't do it. Puritans and other heretics said that sex and the whole human body was evil. What is the difference between their heresy and this thinking?
Catholics don't fast from food because it's evil, but because it's good. Similarly with marriage relations.
It's easy to "sacrifice" an evil, but real sacrifices are of what is good.

Maybe this advice worked back then, when immodesty wasn't literally everywhere
You think our times are the only immodest times? And what's immodesty have to do with abstaining from marital relations in order to devote time to prayer and preparation for Holy Communion?

Why isn't this taught by any traditional groups? The article blames it on influence from Karl Rahner, but forget Rahner. Traditional groups don't read or consult him at all. If this was really Catholic teaching and practice, where was Archbishop Lefebvre and all the priests and religious orders he influenced?
Abp. Lefebvre, in his sermon Ordination, Sous-diaconat et Ordres mineurs - 15 mars 1975, defined marriage as a "school of continence and chastity":
Quote
Le mariage est – on pourrait le définir ainsi – une école de continence et de chasteté
[Marriage (one could define it thus) is a a school of continence and chastity]

Father Paul Trinchard  taught that when a woman reaches her post menopausal days that both she and her husband should abstain from the marital embrace because she is no longer able to conceive unless a miracle happens as it did to St. Elizabeth who bore St. John the Baptist in her old age.
