You could be thinking of Manicheans or Albigensians, or other gnostic groups that held that the body was an evil prison for the soul.
There's also a fictional group in a story of Jorge Luis Borges called "Tlon Uqbar, Orbis Terrarum."
One of their imaginary doctrines is: "Mirrors and sexual intercourse are evil, for both multiply the numbers of mankind."

Makes sense...birth is after all the first step towards death.
I think it was Twain who said (I paraphrase)
Why do we grieve at funerals and rejoice at births? I suspect the reason is that we are not the individual involved.
