Such an act is obviously opposed to the natural order.

Nonsense. If an act is opposed to the natural order of the universe, then attempts to perform that act will simply fail. For instance, it is contrary to the natural order of the universe for me to jump out the window and fly like Superman, and if I attempt it I will instead fall to the ground.

Are aspects of the body ordered toward specific ends?

Is the hearing system ordered toward hearing? Is the reproductive system ordered toward reproduction?

If not, then is the act of attempting to reproduce with one's ears equivalent to attempting to reproduce with one's reproductive system? Would the former activity be disordered and unnatural?
