Hard to give a one sentence answer as there is Southern and Norhern Buddhism, Tharavada, and Mayahana. But basially, desire is the root of all suffering, and anal and oral sex would be desires that are not in keeping with the Laws of nature, that sex is procreative.

They would be against the Buddha Nature-Bodhisattva.
