His argument is that the sexual organs are designed for procreation and should be used solely for that purpose. The above sums up the "natural law" theory in ethics. Maybe the same position has been adopted by some medieval Indian scholars as mentioned in Ajahn Sujato's blog.

Natural law operates on the premise that nature is good, and Christian theologists has been using it to explain why they are against gay marriage, masturbation, the use of contraception...etc

It is pretty amusing that he would make such an irrational statement. I dont think that BWB is the right place to discuss different ethical systems, i only invite dear Deshy to have a look at it (if she is interested) so that she might not find the postion of the Dalia Lama as non-sensical or irrational as she has described it.
