Kant's view on sex was way beyond being merely rigid. Much in the same way a nun or priest who takes a vow of chastity feels anything not up to their standard is immoral. It was a stepping stone that skewed his entire outlook, sense of life or epistemology, whatever you want to call it.

Lust [the "impetus" to sexual "pleasure"] is called unnatural if one is aroused to it not by a real object but by his imagining it, so that he himself creates one, contrary to [natural] purpose; for in this way imagination brings forth a desire contrary to nature's end. . . .

Kant appeared to have quite the imagination.
