Just because it may also be "enjoyable" does not mean that a husband and wife are allowed to have sex with the use of contraceptives just for the "enjoyment" of it, as they are not allowing procreation to occur, so it is a sin. Same thing goes for any sexual act that is not done with the intent to have a child.

Don't like sex other than for procreation? Then don't have sex for anything other than procreation.
Leave the rest of us to enjoy whatever we want, as long as we don't harm others.
Do you mean that sex is only permitted during the four day window each month when the woman can get pregnant?
After all, "safe periods" is also a form of contraceptive.
Enjoyments are sin. Gotcha!
Have a nice life in your imaginary dictatorship.
You got your nickname right, sheep!
And then they claim that human beings are not animals, while expecting human beings to have sex solely to reproduce - just like other animals.
You have to love these idiots.

Right. I've been floggin' the dong since I was 12, with the sole intention of having kids. No luck yet, but I'll keep trying.
Hmmm, I wonder if Linda Lovelace would like to have my child? Hell, it's worth a try.

So it's not a sin if I honestly believe I can make a woman pregnant by coming in her mouth? Damn my ridiculously thorough state-sponsored sex education!
“Just because it may also be "enjoyable" does not mean that a husband and wife are allowed to have sex"
No, that’s the entire point.
Paul warned people to stay celibate because Jesus was coming back SOON, and not every kid would grow old enough to accept the Christ. They would not be saved, as there is no age of accountability.
He also said that if you cannot stay celibate, you’d better marry, so you can have sex under the bond of marriage, though there’s a risk of having kids.
He knew the sex was likely, but married sex is better than illicit sex.
“with the use of contraceptives just for the "enjoyment" of it, as they are not allowing procreation to occur, so it is a sin.”
But not as bad a sin as sex with contraception between boss and secretary.
“Same thing goes for any sexual act that is not done with the intent to have a child.”
So, we married and had three kids. After her menopause, suddenly sex became a sinful act?
Or after her hysterectomy?
Or after my vasectomy?
Meh. Don’t really care for that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
