But just because you practice heterosexuality behind closed curtains without breeding doesn't mean to say that it is any less evil because breeding may still occur. And even if you are infertile then you are helping to normalise and encourage heterosexual acts amongst in other people who might well breed. Unfettered heterosexuality leads to the most ugly possible picture. A society where heterosexuality is the norm, strict gender roles that restrict personal freedom, and anyone who does not partake in heterosexuality or breeding being ostracised. This has historically been the case but thankfully we are now progressing beyond that.
Breeding means creating a new human with a capacity to suffer. From a child's perspective everything revolves around them until they suffer enough to realise that it does not. And if they don't go through this process then they grow up to be a narcissistic sociopath like Trump who cannot function properly as an adult causing more suffering to everyone else around them while unable to find happiness themselves.
By being alive it meas that your death will most probably cause grief to someone later on, especially if you die early. So breeding to satisfy your own biological instinct comes at the expense of someone else's grief. The planet is overpopulated as it is and pollution causes many deaths a year. Unless you are raised vegan and stay that way for life then living means inhumane and barbaric suffering inflicted on thousands of animals to feed you and clothe you. But even if we were all vegan it would not halt the 6th mass extinction.
There is no such thing as free-will. We must accept that we are biological automata with instincts to breed and propagate our species. Abortion can reduce net suffering and should be encouraged where possible, but it would be better to have contraception in the first place which also has the benefit of stopping sexually transmitted diseases, which also cause suffering.
Breeding is the only thing that differentiates sex between heterosecuals from sex between homosexuals. Now if you say that breeding is evil then, well, you seem to have a problem with human beings in general, since homosexuals are the by product of breeding.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
