Remember that most of the sexual pleasure experience takes place in the brain, where a number of hormones and chemicals are released to create a euphoric sensation. To quote one article:
"Initially, when we begin to feel an attraction towards someone of the opposite sex, our heart rate increases and blood levels of adrenaline and the 'stress hormone' known as cortisol rise accordingly. This is then followed by the release of dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that induce an intense rush of pleasure, similar to the stimulatory effects of cocaine and amphetamine."
Now imagine what your brain can do as the result of sexual intercourse and orgasm!
Now, for women, often more than men, sexual intercourse is also an expression of intimacy and love. The bonds of a relationship feel solidified through sexual experiences (even if it isn't really true).
So what does this all mean? Even if sexual intercourse played no role in reproduction, more than likely it would scarcely be less popular...just perhaps a little less risky.

Children are wonderful, but sex is intended for so much more. Aside from feeling good, it prompts the release of oxytocin, which is necessary for proper hormone regulation. In turn, sexual activity helps us manage stress, feel confident about ourselves, and maintain healthier relationships with others.

There are those who may be a bit extreme and participate in sex as a means of reproduction.
