>>Is Apostle Paul perverse?<<

No. I think Paul understands human nature. After all,

1 Corinthians 7: 8-9
8Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Roboy translation of 9: If you’re horny, get married, or you’ll find yourself sleeping around or, worse, if you are a Catholic priest, you could find yourself answering to some pedophilia charges.

“It is good for them to stay unmarried.”

That much is clear. There is nothing wrong or improper about choosing to remain a Virgin.

Now, if you are correct about ‘fill the earth and subdue it’, what about contraception use in marriage? Isn’t it your duty to have as many children as possible, if you choose to be married?
