So lets accept on it's face that sex is (as claimed by many, but not all, Christians) for the purposes of reproduction. Go forth and multiply, and all that. Say a man is sterilized, through no fault of his own. Accident as a child that damaged his testicles and he can't produce motile (yes, this is a word, and has a specific meaning other than "mobile") sperm. Or let's take hope away completely, and by defect his testicles produce nothing but the hormons he requires to express his male traits.
Since he can not, with an absolutely no chance whatesoever, ever produce even one sperm cell, is it a sin for him to have sex, even if he is married? Is it a sin, because the entire point of sex is reproduction (again, if you don't believe this, this is not targeted at you) and he can NEVER reproduce, is sex a sin for that man no matter what?
(The same situation could be applied to a woman, and same question applied)
