There was already a question about this and it was answered by jvitne. Here is what he wrote, he deserves the credit, it was even the best answer:
“it is better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore, than to spill it on the ground.”
That is NOT a Bibically quoted, rather It was a 19th century mis-interpretation of the story of Onan in Genesis that was commonly cited in the 19th and early 20th century:
“And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up see to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.”
--The Bible, Genesis 38:8-10

Nothing like the you're asking is pertained in the Bible.
You are referring to a brother having to sleep with his deceased bothers wife. Instead he spilled his seed on the ground and he was put to death.

You are confused. This statement is not in the Bible. No where in the Bible is it suggested that anyone have immoral sex as a lesser evil. Whoever told you this was trying to justify doing something that he knows is wrong.

I never heard that one, and I've read the Bible many times. I think that someone told you a urban legend.
