"So, when procreation is not willed as the fruit of the specific act of the spouses' union, it is not God's will, correct?"

Correct. If there is no "specific act", then there is no sin. Abstention (i.e. no "specific act" takes place) during fertile periods is NOT sinful.

I am talking about the specific act of sex during a nonfertile period by a couple practicing NFP. By definition, procreation is not willed by this couple as a fruit of that specific act, correct?
