Do People Compare Their Partners With Their Exes During Intimacy?

I saw a post by a married woman who said memories of her ex sometimes return during intimate moments with her husband. It made me wonder whether people really compare their current partners with past relationships in this way. I once had an on-and-off relationship with an ex. She repeatedly returned after saying I did not treat her as she wanted. She claimed that intimacy with other partners made her miss what we had. I was never sure whether she meant it or was simply trying to reconnect. Is comparing a spouse or partner with an ex normal, and can it harm a relationship?
