Their are are many variations of the Muslim Marriage Guide (just depends on how much you want to convince yourself that sex in Islam is the same as sex in the Western world) but you actually need to read the Q'ran to see how sex and marriage is viewed by Muslims. Some quotes follow -

The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says:

Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like .

The Quran in Sura 2:228 says:

. . . Wives have the same rights as the husbands have on them in accordance with the generally known principles. Of course, men are a degree above them in status . . .

4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great.
