I think some of the problem comes in with people thinking that sex is all about procreation.
After Adam and Eve fell, God greatly increased Eve’s ability to conceive. Until then, when they had sex, it was for nothing more than intimacy and enjoyment.
If sex was simply for procreation, God could have solved a lot of problems by simply having women go into heat, like animals.
That mentality, that sex is all about procreation, degrades the sexual relationship between a husband and wife to being merely utilitarian.

Good points.
