Which is LESS effective than modern contraceptives. Sperm is often leaked in pre-ejaculate fluid, so pregnancies can occur even if the man withdraws before the point of actual ejaculation.

Not true. Several large primate species (of which we are closely related), including chimpanzees, have sex for pleasure. Many more frequently masturbate to the point of orgasm regardless of the availability of partners and over 500 species have been observed engaging in homosexual practices for relatively little logical reason other than apparently they prefer it. Other primate species engage in non-penetrative petting sessions. Non-procreative Sex is used as a social tool in some troop animals; to establish hierarchy and reduce stress. Certain species such as the monogamous prairie vole actually experience accumulative sexual pleasure with each successive mating; in effect, the more they have sex, the stronger the feeling, and so they actively seek mating even if their partner is not in season. Dolphins engage in a wide range of sexual practices which have little to do with procreation.
Sex may not have evolved for mere fun, but there's no reason to then discount it as a factor entirely.
