Lmao sure dude, it's perfectly natural to have 20+ children. Why do you think they made it a woman's duty to have s*x whenever her husband wants? They still tell you outright that s*x beyond procreation is a sin.

You're allowed to have s*x during infertile periods/after menopause etc. I didn't defend the idea that men should force themselves onto their wives, but if you want a happy marriage I think responding to the desires of your partner is a healthy practice.
If you're actually curious you can look at St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body https://stmarys-waco.org/documents/2016/9/theology_of_the_body.pdf for a deeper explanation of why. The Church was actually very prescient in their predictions of what would occur societally with the adoption of birth control and abortion. People today aren't as happy as past generations, Catholics believe that these topics are directly interrelated.
That's a happy coincidence of women not always being fertile. You can't deny that fertility is a core aspect of Catholicism. It is of all Abrahamic religions really, but they are on top with some sects of Islam and Orthodox Jews. Mormons are even allowed to use contraceptives for frick sakes.

It's not a coincidence, it's nature. No !Christians (Mormons don't count lol sorry @TracingWoodgrains ) allowed contraception prior to the Anglican Lambeth Conference in the 20th century. It's historically anachronistic to assume that modern sexual ethics are good or desirable social norms. It gives me some comfort to know that my progeny will outlive the modern lib positions. But have fun getting old with no legacy to speak of, relying on !Pinoypride nurses to ease you into your lonely death.

Catholicism used to be a breeder cult. Now people in developed countries are excused from that aspect.

how do you deal with your sexual desires in a healthy way?

Get married. It also gets easier when you break bad habits... but for many/most it's one of the harder things to deal with as a Christian.

Get married and only have s*x with your wife for reproductive purposes? I'd assume that would only be like three to five times, ever, right?
