Given how you have to make kids and all, how is it that prudes have kids? Do they just see the act of sex as a necessary evil to procreate? I've honestly never understood the mentality.
Wondering what prompted this question. Do you actually know people you consider "prudes" who have children?
Haven't heard that word in a long time.
I have known people who don't like to talk about sex, who blush when sex comes up in conversation, and who frown upon people who tell off-color jokes or whatever, but who still love sex when it comes to the privacy of their own lives.

Yes, I have known people like that. Plus look at the Duggars.

How else do you have a kid besides adoption?
Read the initial post carefully.

The term "prude" is often used to verbally attack someone who won't consent to sex, for whatever reason; or won't consent to certain sexual practices that aren't right for them.
Don't even go there with that second sentence. You're completely missing the point.
You really never know what people are like behind closed doors.
You also don't know when they became "prudes."
I guess at lot of it depends on what the OP means by prudes. By today's standards most people just a handful of generations ago might be considered prudes. Yet they managed to procreate, otherwise we would not be here, right?
Regardless of that, sex can occur while clothed and in total darkness if one so chose.
Sex of course is a biological function to perpetuate the species and carry ones genetic line. It also is need to maintain a society/culture, hence the reason governments, religions, etc. sanctify and encourage marriage and procreation.

Actually she was right on. Prude is generally used as an insult. That is the way you intended it to be used. Don't try to change the rules that you yourself started.
Definition of prude
: a person who is excessively or priggishly attentive to propriety or decorum; especially : a woman who shows or affects extreme modesty
Further - Merriam-Webster's says that the origin of the word is French, "good woman, prudish woman," short for prudefemme.
In other words a woman who won't have sex with anyone other than her partner?
Ironically, anyone who uses this term is also making a judgment on other peoples' sex lives. I mean, isn't the term usually used to back people down when you want them to see something your way?
I see the point has been missed entirely by a few people who argue about semantics. Let me rephrase then. How do religious people who seem to be so against any kind of sex (think the Duggars) still manage to do it to reproduce?

Because they're not "against sex". They're opposed to sex outside of marriage.
