Point taken, but the divorce of recreational from reproductive sexual activity is not 100%. I wouldn't put it anywhere near 100%.
Less than 1 out of every 500 acts of penetrative, heterosexual intercourse actually results in a birth.
I'm not sure that would be the best measure. I think a better measure would be to compare numbers of births due to "recreational" vs. "reproductive" intercourse. I'm not sure exaclty how we would draw that line, though.
When I think about it, though, you are probably still right that most births result from reproductive intercourse, but it would be very interesting to get those numbers.
