I never checked and actually fear to dig into this matter, given how much time has passed and how people have been twisting everything. But I do recall him having monk go take a shelter in a house of a prostitute, and a bunch of monks learning from prostitutes (definitely did happen in Japan). So no, he definitely didn’t have an issue with sex or procreation

Yeah, thumbs up for your enthusiasm :) When you learn of buddhist monks who helped each other “release sexual tension”, remember: Gautama did not instruct them to torture themselves into that kind of twisted state
