Genesis 38 states that Onan was punished by death for what? For "the thing which he did," which had just been described: a contracepted act of sex.
That conclusion is in my view erroneous even though 'contraception' was involved.... In the end, the 'thing that Onan did' was to try to circumvent God's law by thinking that he could get away with adultery by exploiting the one exception that God had allowed. He was essentially punished by death for mocking God.

"
[Onan] was essentially punished by death for mocking God." Which is what contraceptive acts do. They indicate mockery of God. "Butt outta my sex life, Lord and Giver of Life."
