Well noooo it doesn’t. Just because God made sex pleasurable does not mean that it is an end in itself. The command was to “go and multiply” NOT to copulate to your heart’s content and while your at it employ every contraption possible to prevent the creation of an eternal soul.
I referred you before to Onan.
And who said God did not want us to indulge in it? Of course He does. But God Himself has decreed through nature that the likely consequence of sex is babies.
As i said before, you want sexual bulimia - you want the pleasure but not the consequence.
Exactly! He did not make us animals. Animals can’t control their urge. When they are in heat, they are in heat period.
We on the other hand are human beings with intelligence, soul and free will.
We can control our lustful inclinations.
God has not completely decreed that you completely abstain from sex if for some very grave reason you need to control birth. That is why He has also made woman in such a way as there are fertile and non-fertile periods.
Note however that there has to be a grave reason for doing this. The one command that we know God has decreed is to be fruitful.
The punishment for not having children by your brother was public humiliation not death. And the punishment is supposed to be meted out by the Jews not God.

The childless widow, in the presence of the town elders, was authorized to remove her uncooperative brother-in-law’s sandal and spit in his face for his refusal to marry her. He was then supposed to receive an uncomplimentary nick-name - "the Unshod. But since he nonetheless became sole owner of his deceased brother’s house and goods, ** it is evident that his offence was scarcely considered a serious or criminal one - much less one deserving of death. Death, however, is precisely what Onan deserved, according to Genesis. It follows that * those who say his only offence was infringement of the levirate marriage custom need to explain why such an offence was punished by the Lord so much more drastically in the case of Onan than than it subsequently was under the Mosaic law***
Also Gen 38:10 states
What he DID greatly offended the LORD, and the LORD took his life too.
Onan was killed not for what he did not do (have children by his brother’s wife) but for what he DID (spill his seed)
Well no. Verse 10 DOES NOT SAY THAT AT ALL.
That is a a sin of omission. What Onan was punished for was for what he DID, sin of commission.
I think you ought to re-read what you have written here before it does not make sense.
Perhaps what you means is “just because something was considered wrong for many yeears don’t meant that it is WRONG”. THAT, makes sense.
But do you even realize what you are saying here? You are saying that there is no such thing as objective morality. Why, murder is probably okay we just have not realized it yet?
But you know what, the kind of thinking you have is actually in force now. At the rate they are killing babies, it is true, we have now come to a time when murder is no longer a sin.
