Well what about heterosexual couples (because obviously homosexual couples can't procreate the"natural" way) that are unable to conceive. Are you saying that they shouldn't have sex?

Well obviously, they would not run the risk of having an unwanted pregnancy, so they don't have to take that precaution or be prepared for the consequence of a child. I don't know about the others who have stated opinions similar to mine, but I for now that sex is NOT just for procreation! Sure, it's fun, it feels good, all that stuff. And people have sex hoping they won't get pregnant, but sometimes do. All I'm saying is if someone can't deal with the consequence, then don't get in a situation where you might have to face it. That doesn't mean you have to raise and provide for that child for the next 18+ years. Adoption is a VERY respectable alternative. There are so many wonderful people who cannot have children of their own that would love to be in the shoes of those with unwanted pregnancies. Many would make incredible parents.
On a side note, if I say "you" it's not directed towards anyone in particular.
