Warframes are orokin technology and biology into one, controlled remotely by the operator. The tenno have biology (and sexual parts/anatomy i guess) so the user projecting their consciousness into them would "feel" as if it's their body.

It would be pretty jarring to control a body to find it has no arms or legs, for example. Probably helped keep the illusion that the tenno were the warframes, so when they "switched frames" they simply fell into another daydream, going into the frame that fit their emotional state at the time.
