"Coitus is always ordered toward procreation..."

Yeah, and me swinging in the on-deck circle is "ordered towards hitting..." but I bet you wouldn't be willing to put any money in favor of my getting a hit from that position.

I can work with the baseball analogy, but from the batter's box, not from the on-deck circle. Swinging from the batter's box is always ordered towards making contact with the ball, whether the hitter makes contact or not. Likewise with coitus: it's always ordered toward procreation, whether procreation results or not.
