You have misunderstood this matter.
If one misses a fast then he only makes up for that one fast. If it was for no reason then you must in addition repent for it.
If one has sexual relations with his or her spouse while he or she was fasting then as an expiation he has to fast 60 consecutive days.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (r) said: Whilst we were sitting with the Prophet (
), a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am doomed!" He said, "What happened?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife when I was fasting [in Ramadaan]." The Messenger of Allah (
) said, "Are you able to free a slave?" He said, "No." He said,
"Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?" He said, "No." He said, "Can you feed sixty poor persons?" He said, "No." Then the Prophet (
) remained silent for a while, and whilst we were like that, a large vessel of dates was brought to the Prophet (
), and he said, "Where is the one who was asking?" He said, "Here I am." He said, "Take these and give them in charity." The man said, "Is there anyone more poor than me, O Messenger of Allah? For there is no household between the two harrahs (lava fields – i.e., in Madeenah) that is poorer than my household." The Messenger of Allah (
) smiled until his eyeteeth could be seen, then he said, "Feed it to your family."
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1834, 1835; Muslim, 1111)
