There exist sex-negative feminists, but it is wrong to describe that as a feminist position.

For the better part of a decade feminists have been wildly anti-objectification, not anti-sex. It's an important distinction.

For example, most modern feminists are pro sex-work, but only under conditions that guarantee safety, autonomy, and health care for the sex workers. That's very different from how most sex work is done today. So a modern feminist might say that we should be doing more to protect the sex workers who are held in bondage by a pimp, and forced to walk the streets while simultaneously arguing in favor of well regulated, protected brothels or private sex work.
