No. Committing sin hurts you and those around you, both physically and spiritually. God didn't just make up rules arbitrarily, they are all for our benefit. It's just like your parents set boundaries for you when you were a child. You may not have understood them, maybe even resented them for it. But in the end, it was because they loved you and wanted the best for you.

The definition of sin is
1."transgression of divine law",
2."a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle. "
3. any reprehensible or regrettable action
4. to offend against a principle, standard, etc
Synonyms 1. trespass, violation. 2. wrong, wickedness. 4. transgress, trespass
When you sin (purposely) you harm yourself because it strains your relationship with God who sees all and can read our hearts. If someone else is involved they would obviously be harmed in some way. So I guess the answer to your question would be "No"

According to the Word there is such a thing.... but I would caution against commiting ANY SIN... thinking you will get away with it... the following is from the KJV on sinning a sin and commiting a sin that will not result in your death, but it's my own personal belief that someone who consciously commits a sin WILL pay the price!
2Ki 14:6 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
. . Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
. 1Cr 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
. Jam 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
1Jo 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
1Jo 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
I hope this addresses your question my friend.

No, that is the definition of sin...something that causes harm.
We don't always see the harm that sin causes...at least, not just at first.

No, because such a thing does not exist. Sin always causes harm to the sinner.

Basically,you name it,it's a sin for somebody.In Christianity,you've got any kind of erotic thought or action that doesn't result in procreation,you've got feeling certain emotions,like pride(boastfullness,when did a little harmless bragging hurt anyone?),you've even got not being in a certain place once a week.In other religions,you've got all that PLUS eating certain foods,showing certain parts of your' body(even though we're created in his' image?Uh...),and saying certain words.Can I name ANYTHING that harmless,but a 'sin'?How about EVERYTHING!If you study the Bible or Koran closely enough,I'm pretty sure we're not even supposed to be going to the bathroom.:)

Anything that is sinful separates you from God and is hurting you.

Consensual sex, remarring after a divorce, same sex relationships., there are probably others, but will depend on your definition of sin.

Eating boogies when you are not really hungry. It's called gluttony.
