Actually it does mean that. Jesus praised Eunuchs born for the Kingdom of Heaven, damned divorce (never homosexuality, and His attitude on divorce was far harsher than that of Rabbinic Judaism), admitted Heaven is sexless and chaste, claimed that merely looking at a woman was adultery, where the Rabbinic law was much less stringent and even Rabbi Shammai was less than that....there is no means to read Jesus's words and see anything positive about sex. And Paul is this up to 11, considering celibacy holy and recommending marriage only if you can't keep in your pants "as it is better to be married than to burn." Too, the 144,000 Jews of Revelation are considered holy and virgins. The Bible is very blunt that sex is evil. Now, what Christians write to justify being on their fourth marriage in a row sleeping with whores in diapers is a different story.
