reproduction is a biological purpose, even if non-reproductive sex is still a part of human biology.
that said ive always found the issues with contraception to be idiotic among Christians, even though catholics have at least gotten smart to preach natural family planning, aka the rhythm method. which is something that sounds made up when you first hear it but has very good results. just dont bang 3 days per month.
Divorcing sex from reproduction is the Catholic problem with contraception. Given the global handwringing over collapsing birth-rates in the developed world, perhaps they have a point.

Scientists could come out tomorrow and say "humans have always done the sex casually and in fact non reproductive sex has always been important at every level" and you wouldn't care
So don't pretend you or other catholics position is in any way based on biology or evidence. It's based on your magic book
That falls under the purview of history, and historians already have very good answers to those questions. The notion that Catholics see sex as a sterile, reproductive-only act is nonsense. I'd recommend having a chat with a priest if you want to know more.
