"There is nothing "sinful" about it ever unless one of the parties does not agree or is underage or something."

Well fornication is most certainly a sin (in Biblical context) but thats a matter of the faith you lead not the civil law you obey which can be totally different.

"But my feeling is that it is a natural part of human nature and there is not a damn thing wrong with that"

Not to attack this position specifically but there are allot of things that are a 'natural part of human nature' that you would probably frown upon (Violence and greed being two of them) so the 'well its natural' is not the best argument.

"Equating sex with sin is repression and that is NEVER good."

Unless of course it meets your above definition of underage right? its nice when you can make the rules you think are sensible and are thus not repressing but when someone else makes rules within their organization or faith you don't agree with then it *is* repression... Cute..
