"Sex between a husband and wife is good, ordained by God.

Only Roman Catholics make it out to be dirty.

Some Catholic writers may have been out of bounds in there understanding of sex, nonetheless Catholics don't view sex as dirty:

2362 "The acts in marriage by which the intimate and chaste union of the spouses takes place are noble and honorable; the truly human performance of these acts fosters the self-giving they signify and enriches the spouses in joy and gratitude."145 Sexuality is a source of joy and pleasure:

The Creator himself . . . established that in the [generative] function, spouses should experience pleasure and enjoyment of body and spirit. Therefore, the spouses do nothing evil in seeking this pleasure and enjoyment. They accept what the Creator has intended for them. At the same time, spouses should know how to keep themselves within the limits of just moderation.146

Except for Mary after the birth of Jesus.

The implication is sex is dirty, otherwise Mariology comes crashing down.
