Everything in the bible was written by people. Stuff like the animals sacrificed to god got eaten by the priests (people who wrote the rule in the first place)
The bible says a lot of things about sex for any other reason than reproduction being bad, pulling out is bad too. Birth control is bad.
I think this is because naturally sex is fun and children are fucking awful, but this stuff was written in a time where there was a huge advantage to your group having a large population. "Be fruitful and multiply" stuff. If you make it so everyone thinks they're going to hell if they have sex and take any precautions to avoid pregnancy, you're going to have a lot more babies being born.
