Is sex evil?

No. God said be fruitful and multiply.

What about non-procreative sex? In Augustine's day it was believed to be so.

I don't think so, but I have nothing concrete to prove so one way or another.

For more information on Augustine's views see:

Marriage and Virginity: Saint Augustine
Marriage And Concupiscence

This volume also contains Marriage and Concupiscence amongst other things:

St. Augustine Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Part 5
