Not only that, but there is not (to my knowledge) even on instance of marital sex in the procreative form, which is ever condemned in the Bible, or one instance of non-marital sex, or not in the procreative form, which is ever approved.

If I am wrong about this, somebody correct me. Seriously.

The one act of contraception reported in the Bible (it was marital, but deliberately turned away from procreation) was in Genesis 38, "... and what he did was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord slew him also."

God's opinion of contraception.

One of the Bible-bashers’ favorite targets is the OT law compelling rapists to marry their victims. Makes sense in the view “you made a child (or tried to), so now own the consequence and raise that kid (if any) and care for the mother-intended (the victim).” Procreative sex, however achieved, was taken very seriously as both parents were compelled to become one.
