We enjoy sex because through marital sex we learn something about God Who is the Creator (and sex creates) and Who is Love (and sex loves). But Mary learned about God directly and not through model substitution of sex. She probably was not interested Pure unadulterated speculation.
This is not a unique circumstance. Monks and nuns are not interested in sex either, and for the same reason.
And you know this how?

Pure unadulterated speculation For you, yes, but that has been consistent Catholic anthopology for two millennia.
you know [the Monks and nuns are not interested in sex] how?
If they were, they would not be monks and nuns, yet the vast majority of them live out their vocations.
