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.
Good for him. That is not Church teaching, however. There are three ends to marriage, and as long as the first end (the begetting of children) is not positively thwarted, the martial debt may be requested without sin.

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.
Aye, but there are many goods from which we can choose what we will voluntarily sacrifice. It need not be food, it need not be sex. It is between each person and God. And we must not judge others for what they did or didn't choose for their sacrifice.

Abstinence from Conjugal Relations Before Reception of the Body of Christ:A Brief History
Daniel G. Van Slyke

Speaking of the marital embrace, I seem to vaguely remember you posting that your wife had physical issues that interfered with the marital embrace. You had several posts about it, prayer request(s) and a bitcoin donation address in your signature. I hate to make a mistake about something like this, so please help me out. Do I have you mixed up with someone else?

I don't recall that myself, but if you look at his posting history it looks like he's obsessed with sex, the marital debt, Josephite marriages, divorce and remarriage, invalid marriage, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, sodomy within marriage, NFP, contraception, pregnancy, sɛҳuąƖ abstinence, concupiscence and similar topics. Even his interest in theology seems connected to sex, for example "Sts. Anne's and Joachim's sɛҳuąƖ act"

I don't think his fixation on sex is very healthy or holy.

As it always goes. Whenever someone calls for chastity he is always accused of being a pervert. And everyone remains a slave to sex and as slaves they delude themselves into thinking they are holy.
