Humans do not live "natural" lives by definition, "natural" meaning "as opposed to what is done by human contrivance." The thousand and one wholly unnatural things humans do, gather, manufacture, possess - agriculture, alphabets, appendectomies, refined metal, theatre, antibiotics, sanitary sewers, clothing, bread, beer, electronic mail - clearly, none of these man-made things is a "natural bestowing," so by your opposition they must all be "problems" or "diseases" instead, wanting as all "diseases" do a cure or final solution.
Well you can go ahead and try to ban email if you want, I guess that's not such a big deal. But if you try to mess with my sanitary sewers I'm going to fight you.
And I've got to set you straight on one thing where you're obviously crazy-wrong: the natural function of sex is _not_ procreation. The natural function of sex is _pleasure_.
