If you study birth control deeply, then examine why people use birth control, then much of the time, it's about the failure of respect for each other. Being intimate is about love and closeness and merging your soul with another so deeply as to become one.

It is a very beautiful gift from God. Sexual pleasure is a gift of joy. It is special and should be saved for people who are married so they can protect each other and protect the children who may be born of their joy.

But people are careless. They give away something precious to unworthy people. How many times have you made love, and then thought, "Oh they are not the person I thought they were. They are cruel and unworthy of my love. I regret being so close to them." ?

Other times terrible sickness happens because we trusted that the other person was honest and carefully protected themselves. Instead they frequently had shared another's intimacy and so caught that sickness. They need our compassion so we can heal them, for Jesus said that healing others was our responsibility as Christians.

Prudent lovemaking between married people can be very safe and not cause pregnancy if they wish to avoid it on certain days. It's very simple. But most people are not careful.
