All sin may or may not bring transient pleasure, although nothing that is a sin will bring lasting pleasure.
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Pleasure. The satisfaction that accompanies the exercise of a human faculty. Depending on the faculty used, there are different kinds of pleasure, namely, sensuous or intellectual. In practice the two forms are never separated, since bodily satisfaction affects the rational part of a human being, and intellectual satisfaction has an influence on the body. Some writers distinguish between pleasure and joy, where pleasure refers to the satisfaction of bodily desires, such as eating and sex, and joy refers to the use of rational powers, such as thinking and loving.

Is pleasure a sin?
No, pleasure is not a sin, it depends on what type of "pleasure" your talking about. Having sex then yes it is a sin outside of marriage. But God wants us to be happy, but not the world's kind. If you wouldn't want to tell your parents, or wouldn't do it if Jesus were watching you (which he always is) then don't do it. Answer: Pleasure is not a sin unless, you are having pleasure with a married man or woman and they aren't married to you. All forms of fornication outside marraige are traditionally prohibhited. There have been civilizations in the past which have said yes to sex outside marraige such as the Roman and before that the Babylonian civilization and have corroded from within and we see their ruins before us. Whereas civilizations/relegions that have prescribed sexual discipline have survived to this day such as Hinduism,Christianity, Bhuddism, Islam and Judaism.

Examples of venial sin?
Venial sin is sin to do with sex, So the obvious one is Adultery, Masturbation in the case of men. Another answer: The above answer is precisely wrong and actually represents what we Catholics consider mortal sin. Mortal sin is that which disconnects one from our life source, that being God Himself. The reason the examples given above are mortal sins is that they are viloations - that is, sins against love. And as God is love, they are sins directly against Him. Audultery clearly is a sin against love as it violates the committment of wholly giving oneself to another (two becoming one) and instead fraudulently uses God's unifying gift of sex for selfish pleasure with another. Masturbation is also a sin against love as it too is self-focused rather than using God's gift or sex as he has intended it. God created the gift of sex and sexual pleasure to be both a unifying gift to those joined in committed sacramental love and a gift by which this love brings forth life. Adultery and Masturbation do not bring forth beautiful new life - quite to the contrary they bring pain and loneliness - the wages of sin is death.
