Actually, no. Muslims are encouraged to engage in sex often (after marriage) not only for reproduction, but also for enjoyment (no ban on contraceptives).
Most people's ideas abour sex in Islam stem from the middle eastern countries which practice sex only when the intention is to conceive a child. This is a cultural phenomenon, not a religious one.
