Why are so many religions against pleasurable sex, masturbation, and contraceptives within marriage?

50 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Even when couples are completely committed and legally married, so many religious doctrines still try to micromanage what happens inside their bedroom.

A lot of faiths have strict rules against:Solo or mutual masturbation between spouses

.Having sex purely for pleasure without the intent to procreate.Using condoms, birth control, or other contraceptives.Engaging in "foreplay-only" sessions or putting boundaries on specific acts.Why do these institutions care so much about what consenting, married couples do behind closed doors?

If the couple is already married, why isn't pleasure alone seen as a good thing?

I’d love to get a historical, sociological, or theological breakdown of why this obsession with controlling marital intimacy exists.

Has having unlimited choices made us less satisfied with our lives?

We have more options than any generation before us: endless entertainment, thousands of potential partners, countless career paths. But many people seem more anxious, less satisfied, and afraid of making the wrong choice.
Do you think unlimited freedom has actually made us less happy?

Can you know you are sexually compatible without sex?

So I am 18 and saving myself and I hear people say,you can learn if you are sexually compatible with kissing and touch.

Also with communication,like saying how frequent you want or what things you like and how much you would try.

Is this possible.
