This link takes you to the Hebrew for Genesis 3:16 which supports my point.

If God didn’t intend sex to recreational, He wouldn’t have given man such a strong desire for it or made it so enjoyable. he could also have created woman to go into heat if it were just for procreation.

[Mark17]

LOL. I think men are always in heat. 😁 In my OTC high school, I don’t think more than a few cared what the church said about anything, let alone birth control. I didn’t either. We handle our “nightly activities” as we see fit, to the glory of God. Everyone else, may feel free to stay out of our bedroom. 👍🤣

All honest sex is procreational, in the sense that even when you have intercourse and it is not (naturally) fertile, it still builds the pleasure-bond, the couple-bond, which helps make the couple happy and satisfied enough to stay together --- and this is important to the stability of their marital fidelity and the thriving of their children.

Even when sex is not effectively fertile, it signifies and supports fertility and the building of the family.

IOW, the unitive power of sex is an important help to the fertility of sex, as well as going beyond the natural good into the supernatural good: manifesting the love of Christ for the Church. A "Magnum Mysterium." Sacred.

And due to God's Intelligent Design of the female reproductive system, the woman is, as you know, only intermittently fertile. Continuous pregnancy, or limitless sequential pregnancy with no breaks in the sequence, is not part of the design.
