Missed you last evening. I trust you are well.

Why do you try so hard to prove something that does not conform with the word of my God.

You stated:
It seems that if your god's intention was for men to only have sex with their wives
It most certainly was.
The law was laid down in Exodus plain and simple.

it would have been easy to say so:
He did!

rather than have this list of off-limits women.
The children of God were a stiffnecked people Del, who were always tempted by the ways of the world.(Still true even to this day).
God saw that many did not take His commands seriously. He saw that they were continually trying to get around them making excuses for and justifying their abominable acts. So He went out of his way like a loving, and patient Father, to explicitly list and explain many do's and don'ts.

Even while God was delivering them out of their bondage (Slavery),which they had been in for over 400 yrs., many of them still continued in their disbelief and disobedience. That is why it took them 40 yrs. instead of 40 days to cross over to the promised land. And disobedience was what caused Moses never to step foot alive, in the promised land.

For sure Del, God made it very clear about how the captured enemies were to be treated. There were also laws set down as to how one should deal with brothers,strangers and sojourners, servants and bondsmen . There were many laws and guidelines set down by God governing the way a man ought to live. Many of those laws and guidelines were ignored and or subverted by the people, and they still are to this day. Nothing new under the sun!

As to your specific point in question,..It's in there.., God also in that case, left no room for doubt. Except in the vain imagination of the devious.

Shalom...><>
