Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The "International Standard Bible Encylopedia" [abbrev. ISBE] defines sin as:_ 1. Sin as Disobedience:
A fairly exact definition of sin based on Biblical data would be that sin is the transgression of the law of God (1John 3:4). Ordinarily, sin is defined simply as "the transgression of the law," but the idea of God is so completely the essential conception of the entire Biblical revelation that we can best define sin as disobedience to the law of God. It will be seen that primarily sin is an act, but from the very beginning it has been known that acts have effects, not only in the outward world of things and persons, but also upon him who commits the act.
2. Affects the Inner Life:
Hence, we find throughout the Scriptures a growing emphasis on the idea of the sinful act as not only a fact in itself, but also as a revelation of an evil disposition on the part of him who commits the act (Gen_6:5).
3. Involves All Men:
Then also there is the further idea that deeds which so profoundly affect the inner life of an individual in some way have an effect in transmitting evil tendencies to the descendants of a sinful individual (Psa_51:5, Psa_51:6; Eph_2:3). ... Hence, we reach shortly the conception, not only that sin is profoundly inner in its consequences, but that its effects reach outward also to an extent which practically involves [all men]. Around these various items of doctrine differing systems of theology have sprung up.

If you are sane (or another flavor of insane given the content of the question) then it's your body, go have fun with it, in whatever way you define fun.
