Thank you ---the Bible is so full of wisdom! Love and life are the two great meanings of human sexuality. There is no competition between "procreate" and "be united for each others' mutual satisfaction": love-union and fruition are two important and inseparable aspects of the same thing.

This same thing --- call it "love-making life" or "life-making love" --- really conveys respect for God's design.

This is not negated if the couple are naturally infertile. Natural sexual relations between a husband and wife always have the significance of "this is the life-giving act" even if the act naturally does not or can not produce a baby.

That's why husband and wife past the age of childbearing can certainly still enjoy sexual union. But they shouldn't do perversions which are not the life-giving act (e.g. ejaculation into the anus or other acts of sodomy which I very much don't want to describe.)

They should also not do any perversion which, while it is procreative, is clearly not a love-union, such as intentionally fantasizing you're with somebody else, e.g. having relations with your wife while viewing porn; or, for that matter, marital relations deteriorating into rape.

It is part of the privilege of being human that we are cooperators with God in this way: love and life blossom together, they are not intentionally split-off from each other.

Anyone --- even a seemingly unbelieving scientist --- who looks more and more into how sexual love "works" becomes more and more impressed with God's design, which is exquisite.
