Presumably you mean how can free sex be a sin, because it is this type of sex that is sin.

Just because something feels good it does not make it good. I expect taking drugs makes people feel good that does not make taking drugs good. It has its down sides. The same can be said about free sex.

It's not a question of not being repressed by thoughts of the possible pitfalls but rather not falling into the pitfalls. Of course, YOU may be astute or lucky enough to avoid the pitfalls, but there may be those, influenced by you, who are not clever or lucky enough to avoid the pitfalls.

There is nothing embarrassing or dirty about enjoying sex, thats probably why we sent all the puritans to a different country

Agreed, at the right time (not while one party is feeling physically or emotionally unwell) and in the right place (not on the seats of a crowded plane)between the right people (not a teacher and pupil of a state school) there is nothing embarrassing, dirty or wrong about sex.

People obviously don't like being told this. So, have 6 on me.

sex is in itself a gift from the creator to mankind to continue procreating. this means of procreating was purposed to be practiced only within the bounds of marriage. the ability to enjoy sex is a gift from the creator to the married couple on their wedding night. since this is something only to be enjoyed after the marriage vows are spoken, to engage in sex before the wedding night is what the bible condemns. to engage in sex with someone else other than the marriage mate is also a sin and is a defilement of the marriage bed. to engage in sex with someone of the same sex is also a gross sin before the one that created man and woman. any type of sexual practice performed outside of marriage with another person or animal is a sin.

Lol. Only if you're hurting somebody or going against God is it a 'Christian sin.' Then again, a lot of things feel good that are sins, but most things I can think of (like speeding, sloth or getting revenge) are all either harmful, against the Christian God's word or both.

I have never had the impression that sex was a sin.I was not brought up that way.Sex is natural,and something that carries on the species and is enjoyable at the same time.Sin is something some people choose to believe and others not.To take the joy of sex away because of a supposed sin is nonsense.

Surely it is folly not to believe in sin. This must be self-deception of the strongest kind. Think through the consequences of a "no sin" philosophy. Anything goes. Let the stronger trample the weaker. Kill or be killed. What a wonderful world.

Define sin? Your parameters are too vague

It isn't. There are certain people that have issues with sex , and they try to project those issues onto others by making them feel guilt and/or fear for being able to freely experience something that THEY have a problem with.

no one is telling you how to live your life. of course people such as yourself will resent someone with moral ethics, and respect for God's laws. just because you are told of this, doesn't mean you have to accept it. or is your conscience condeming you? probably! typical response of someone with low standards. oh dear, how offended you must be! the truth hurts, but continue with your rolling in the hay! if you end up with aids or similar, this is a consequence of your lifestyle.

There is this wonderful invention they call CONDOMS. You should check them out. As for ethics, I personally feel a lot more ethical than so called religious people, as they base theirs on a book of fairytales

@ Anonymous; Offended? Nope. See this . That is the grain of salt that I took your comment with. ;)

It is not a sin.

It is a chemical & biological process to propagate the species. Chemical ("Hey, she's hot...") ------> Biological ("What do you mean your late???)

How can it not be? Pleasure is sin. Our Puritan forefathers taught us that.
