In Hinduism, Sex is considered as a duty, or Dharma, for as a person moves from the celibate stage of the student to the householder, they must for fill their obligations. Sex is also used for Kama, or pleasure, as long as it is concentual, and within the sanctified unity of marriage. Sex is also for procreation, or making offspring.
In reference to contemporary sexual issues, extra or premarital sex is strictly forbidden, for it brings bad karma, thus halting the cycle of reincarnation, and stopping liberation or Moksha.
Beastiality, masturbation and other forms of sex is strictly forbidden.
Hindu views of homosexuality are diverse, and different Hindu groups have distinct views. Homosexuality is regarded as one of the possible expressions of human desire. Although some dharmic texts contain injunctions against homosexuality, a number of Hindu mythic stories have portrayed homosexual experience as natural and joyful.
In 2009, The United Kingdom Hindu Council issued a statement that 'Hinduism does not condemn homosexuality', subsequent to the decision of the Delhi High Court to legalize homosexuality in India.

Their religious texts don't mention homosexuality so the Hindus view of it varies a lot from person to person. And it's also a bit confusing because of the many types of religious life. "Twice-born" Hindus are prohibited from homosexual acts such as in Manusmrti 11:174, which mentions both men and women.But then there's the Kama Sutra that says that homosexual sex "is to be engaged in and enjoyed for its own sake as one of the arts." So the Hindu evaluation of homosexuality depends a lot on the context.
