Should Christians be having sex beyond the purpose of procreation?
Of course. Why not? Assuming that they are married to each other, then they are free to do so--and expected to do so.
1 Cor 7:5 "Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
"Open" does not mean that you are actually trying to have a baby. Just that you are not putting any restrictions on conception (artificial birth control.) You should always be "open" to accepting the creation of a new life. Even if you are physically unable to conceive.

Well at least this time an actual thread was started on this topic, lol. I think you'll find that most people like on the orientation thread will not be approaching this from an old school catholic mindset. Most Christians these days consider sex gift from God to be enjoyed and to help keep marriages healthy. Not everyone wants children and for some its just not practical yet. The idea that these people need to obtain from a basic human need like a bunch of a ascetic monks is archaic and very highly scripturally questionable. I don't have much free time today so Ill mostly just watch when I can for now. Its too bad they closed the orientation thread when they did. I had a great post to tie my points together and the closed it just as I pressed submit reply and lost it..DOH! lol

Not if the only heartless cold reason is to make babies and no other reason.
I don't care if me and her where the only people on Earth if she has an ugly personality I would rather go extinct.
I would have to be in love with her. I wouldn't mate just to make babies.
I refuse to have sex outside of a long lasting relationship with strong emotional bonds.
In my thread several people said it was only for procreation, such a cold heartless concept.
Sex should only be done with love and not out of lust.
Two people regardless of gender should have taken the time to get to know each other,
To see if there feelings are love or lust. If the relationship forms strong emotional bonds and last a long time then they are ready to marry and have sex.
