Yeah, it probably is, according to the Bible.
The Bible is proof of nothing. It only has as much power as we give it. To me, the Bible don't mean jack sh*t, so it has no affect on my life whatsoever.
It's a shame that you allow an old book to have such dominance over your life. ❌
In the bible gays are called "sodomites" because of Sodom and Gamora, two cities whose habitants practiced "permiscuous sex". The cities were then destroyed by God.
So according to the bible being gay, having sex before marriage, and having sex for reasons other than having children are all on the same level.
But for soem reason society has excepted sex before marriage and sex for pleasure but not being gay.
Yeah and like i said, the bible says a lot of thing about sins that people seem to have forgotten. You have to remember that the bible was written by men who had hundreds of wives and stoned people to death for committing adultary, not everything in the bible is necessarilly "true" or relevant to today's society.

Don't add to the Bible. The Bible says nothing of the sort about sex for reasons other than having children are all on the same level with sex before marriage. Where in the world did you get this from? It sure is not in the Bible. In fact the opposite is true. Premarital sex is a sin, but sex for pleasure definitely is not a sin. The Bible says a lot about a husband and a wife's sex life and it does not prohibit sex for pleasure. Sorry, but you are very misinformed. Read the Bible before drawing your conclusions.

What i meant by sex for reasons other than having children is having sex in ways were a woman wouldn't get pregnant. I don't want to get into the details of it but lets just say "unnatural" sex. And only recently did the Pope allow use of condoms if it is meant to stop the spread of diseases. So that means sex with condoms being used for birth control is a sin, so yes in context sex for pleasure is very often considered a sin.

So it's okay to have sex just for pleasure ? droolio
