Here, Buddhadasa makes statements akin to those made by the Dalai Lama, asserting that sex is for reproduction only. According to him, using contraception and having sex without being engaged in the work of reproduction causes nervous disorders, madness and physical deformities. It naturally follows that homosexual practices are impermissible as well. This is absurd to me.

The Dalai Lama and the late Bhikkhu Buddhadasa are speaking about lay matters from the point of view of celibate monks, which is perhaps why they became extreme in their views. I wonder where the evidence is that the Buddha said any of that.
