Forgive me if this doesn't come out well. I've been trying to formulate this reply in such a way that I hope is properly respectful.
I'm obviously not the author, but I'm not sure she's assuming that at all. You might find completely different examples that illustrate the same basic point she's making within the boundaries of your faith. And that's certainly not to say that, if we accept her thesis, "anything goes" and nothing is bad.
And the same is true for sex. I certainly hope that, within the confines of your own marriage and the boundaries set for you by your faith, sex is still capable of being "an intense and delightful form of communication, intimacy, creativity, community, personal expression, transcendence, joy, pleasure, and love. Regardless of whether any DNA gets replicated in the process."
