Is it a sin to not want to procreate?

I was thinking about this today. In the Bible, God told Adam and Eve to go forth and multiply. So, for Christians, is it considered a sin to not want to procreate? If some Christians don't ever want to have children, is that a sin, against the Word of their God?
