elsesomebody, I think you misunderstand the intent there. This is a specific reference to sex and religion and you're applying it to sin in general (also known as the logical fault of
dicto simpliciter, or a generalisation). It's sort of the equivalent of saying that since going 75 mph on the interstate is okay, it must be okay in the suburbs too. Clearly not the case, as with the other situations the well being of others must be taken into account (as with sex, but that's implicit in the discussion).
If you can think of another activity that feels good and does no harm, then yes it would apply, although that wasn't implicit in my original statement.
