If you believe that contraception shouldn't be allowed because the genitles should only be used to procreate, does this mean that knowingly infertile people that have sex are commiting a sin?

if the genitals were meant only for procreation, then why the hell does sex feel so good???
like we need even more people in the world anyway - I think that whole doctrine against contraception was created by the old nobility who wanted a steady supply of serfs and cannon fodder

No; God created sex not just for procreation, but for the mutual enjoyment OF A MARRIED COUPLE. Anything outside of this is fornication and adultery. Even Abraham and Sarah were barren, but God promised them a son even in their old age, so they got busy.
Also, an infertile couple who have sex are allowing God the chance to make them fertile if He so chooses.

No, of course not.
The understanding that contraception is wrong is the understanding that each sexual act must be open to life and to God's will. This means that we should not actively do anything during the sexual act to prevent life.
In that understanding, an infertile couple is not doing anything to prevent life. So, they are acting within the will of God, they are open to life and to God's will.

the very first thing that God says to mankind (in the garden) is "be fruitful and multiply" (genesis 1:28).
so not only is God telling us to have as many babies as we possibly can: having babies is the most important way that we can observe God's will.
there is no harm in infertile couples copulating. they are doing their best. and God allowed elizabeth to become pregnant with john the baptist, even though she was long past menopause.
but it is wicked to use contraception, since it thwarts God's will.
also it is wicked to delay marriage so long. girls should marry at fourteen or fifteen years of age, if they are to truly follow this greatest of all commandments. if they delay until they are in their twenties they miss many fertile years.
of course some girls will be prevented from marrying by their parents who have failed to properly understand the Word (or may even oppose it).
such girls should be having sex nonetheless.

When Christ gave Himself, he did so completely, to His bride, the church. He didn't hold back...to the point of even giving His own precious flesh and blood. Through that, came LIFE.
When a husband gives himself to his bride, he also, should do so completely in all aspects of his life, including the loving relations they share. By giving himself completely, through Christ, LIFE comes forth as well.
Through God's infinite love for us, He has given the bride and groom the ability to love one another. Love gives LIFE. To contracept would be like taking God out of that equation, and not allowing life to come forth, through Christ, out of that love. That is why I don't believe in artificial contraception.
Now in the case of people who are infertile, I dont think they are committing a sin because first, sex is not just for procreation, but also a way for a husband and wife to come in union with one another, just as Christ comes in union with us at Mass. It is the greatest form of love (when it's not convuluted and twisted with lust, of course). As long as they are not contracepting, then God is still a part of that union, and He can still bring forth LIFE from that union, if it be His will.

No of course it is fine for infertile women to have sex with their husbands but they should give their husband permission to marry another woman so he can have children to pass his blood line onto when he dies.

When did we say it was okay for them to have sex? They should burn! lol. (I'm just joking)
***edit***
"but it is wicked to use contraception, since it thwarts God's will." - So if we are not pregnant, is that a sin? I'm not pregnant right now or having sex, should I be worried?
"girls should marry at fourteen or fifteen years of age" - isn't there laws against pedofilia?
"God telling us to have as many babies" - Didn't God think ahead about limited resources and space?
