He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.For fundamentalist Christians, almost any carnal pleasure is viewed as a "sin of the flesh." By making so many things off-limits, they become ever more desirable.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying the pleasures of life as long as you don't overdo it.
