eh, I really don't think it's on the same level as grooming five-year olds. But it is definitely part of that unhealthy streak of Gnosticism that persists in many branches of Protestantism (and even among some Catholics), where matter, and especially the body, are corrupt, dirty, and sinful, and the soul is some kind of pure, sinless thing. Which causes one to focus all energy on sins of the flesh and none on sins of the mind. It's unbalanced, to say the least. And, you know, seems to lead to having less sex while thinking about it a *lot* more, and feeling guilty about it. It's not healthy.
