Is Sexual Relations Only Purpose Procreation?

[enelya_taralom]

No

As NewMan99, once wrote to me (to clarify a misunderstanding I had ):

"First of all we do not view the pleasures of sex as an "extra gift" but rather as something far more profound than that. There are TWO functions of the marital act: procreative and unitive. Both are important. And so if the procreative portion of the act is removed for some reason (barrenness for example) there is still the VERY important "unitive" aspect to be considered. Therefore a happy and healthy sex life should be enjoyed by the couple thoughout their days together regardless if they can have children or not. "

Is the only purpose for eating to gain weight? Is the only purpose for butterflies to pollinate flowers? Is the only purpose for feet to get from Point A to Point B manually? (Is it a sin to use those feet which God "designed" for walking to instead push on the pedals of a car or bicycle?)

I believe that sex has a two fold purpose it is for Procreation but it is also an enjoyable ( for both ) bond building experience as two people share with the one they love what only they can share.
It is the best if both have waited until marriage.
As sex is only to be experienced in the contents of marriage.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortuanatley even believers, a lot of believers like to taint that view of married sex. such as having sex outside the marrage.

As far as we know at present the female human is the only one of God's creation who can experience [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] i.e intense sexual pleasure. God's intentions were so much more that survival of the species it seems - very thankfully I must admit.

Just read proverbs 5:18,19 they pretty much sum up the fact that you should "rejoice" in sexual relations within marriage and to men it says more but you can read it for yourself.
