Interesting idea and question.
This reminds of the current trend that the population developed countries are in decline.
So is it moral to have sex without producing child? In the past that would be immoral, but now it's moral.

Where and when are you talking of?
In medieval Europe it was considered immoral by the catholic church (and note: basically everyone ignored them in practice, and not everyone agreed with the church), because they explicitly religiously believed that deriving pleasure from sex was only caused by the Original Sin, and that nobody should have sex, ever. They carved out an exception for preventing humanity from going extinct, but otherwise: seeking sexual pleasure is sodomy.
Elsewhere: it varies, but sex is fun and most people wouldn't oppose it.
