The Natural Law arguments for traditional sexual morality don't make any sense.
Basically the general idea is that since the "natural purpose" of the sexual organs is procreation, engaging in sexual acts for their own sake goes against that function (perversion). That doesn't actually follow. Much like an acrobat walking with his hands does not prevent him also using his hands to grab things etc. like everyone else, having non procreating some times is compatible with having procreating sex other times. Additionally, celibacy would turn out to be immoral, because it is incompatible with the natural purpose of the sexual organs, procreation.
(we are assuming teleological virtue ethics is true for the sake of the argument)
