i cor 5:5...read the preceeding verses, and the problem of the text is a couple. man lives with his father's wife, and they may or may not be bumping uglies. my guess would be not, that they are claiming radical celibacy.
Paul can't really take this...while it is profoundly anti social...and Paul loves that...its going to be misunderstood and bring slander down on the community. He tells the church to stop praying for the man, to cease admitting him in to the group. Paul hopes this will bring the man to repentance, at least in time for the Big Show. his concern is shown several verses down...associating with the man will cause others to stumble.
so...associating with sexual immorality is bad. but paul doesn't define it for us. and i think it's quite possible to hold a Christian definition of sexual immorality that doesn't conflict with erotica, or some of the things that you mention as un-Christian.
