if there's one fact that's established about the bible, it is that it's full of contradictions. Humans can't go against their nature forever. It's a losing battle, all it does is create guilt and turmoil.
I think that only having sex with your wife, (and only after your married), AND being fruitful and multiplying and filling the earth do not have to contradict each other.
I do think however that as humans -having a sinful nature- we have to fight against the temtations to fulfill our natural God given desires in ways that God did not intend.
If having sex with anyone anytime is so much more natural and better than marriage, then what the heck have people been getting married for all these years.
Although I have to agree that some people definately act like sex is wrong or something to be ashamed about. I don't think that it's something so intimate and special should be explicitly discussed with all ages, but it is natural, and not sin if done in the way that God intended.
