You are right, God did intend for people to have , but He also intended for it to be done the right way, and that is within the bonds of marriage.
There are a lot of things that are considered wrong that are natural. Dying is natural, but it is wrong to . Other animals steal from each other too (yet that is still considered wrong). Cheating is common among other animals too, but it still hurts if someone cheats on you, and most people consider it wrong. In fact, anything that is done can be considered natural, so their should be no wrong according to your argument.

You know what I think the religions should be saying?
Sex before marriage is like pulling a flower open before it's fully bloomed- you'll miss out on it's true beauty if you open it too soon. (sorry, not trying to be funny by using "flower" in this context, but it does get the point across, doesn't it? lol).
The Christian perspective sees it as sinful because you're supposed to get married first, and then consummate your marriage, only having sex with your lifelong mate. It's a violation of God's design to have sex with anyone except for your spouse.

It's "sinful" because people in the times of the Bible couldn't determine paternity. Any sex outside of marriage put a man at risk of raising a child who wasn't his own. They didn't want to do that, so they banned it.
Also of note: Areas with fewer STDs have fewer hang-ups about premarital and extramarital sex.

Well it depends on the Religious group.. Catholics for example think Sex before marriage is sinful, unless it's with a underage Choir boy. Then it's fair game.

Because that is what the Bible says. Sex is good for married couples.
Hebrews 13:4 {Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.} is one example.

The natural man is an enemy to God.
Nature is animalistic. We are not animals. We are created in the imagine of God and expected to progress as such.
Tons of things are "natural:" Rage. Cannibalism (animals do it) Fighting and killing for food (and other stuff) Lust--all these things are "natural."
God expects us to retain our sexual pleasures for the sweetheart that we choose for life, not only for pleasure or experimentation.
Sex is to aid God in creation by bringing new spirits to the world; it is also to bond a husband and wife in love. It is not a plaything.

Look at the divorce rates in society. Unfortunately the fact of the matter might be that many adult unwed couples might be confusing sex with true love..

don't look at the sex as pleasure but look it as consequence of it.If you play with your sex organ as you want without marriage, who will be the father's baby at birth?. Do you think that a man who looks for sex is honest?

Honestly there is nothing wrong with sex in the Bible, either... The Prudish Victorian lifestyle made it a Christian issue to abolish sexual enjoyment other than for having babies! Even getting drunk is not a sin... BTW... Lot was a righteous man. He can brag of having done his 2 young virgin daughters until both of them got pregnant! There are many endorsements of sex with multi partners, too...!!! God is known to be a first class ppimp... I'll be back with more quots from the Bible!
Ezekiel 23:8 “……for in her youth men had lain with her, handled her youthful teats and ejaculated upon her breasts. “
Ezekiel 23:20-21 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
Jeremiah 25: 27-28 "Then tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.' But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: You must drink it!
God surely has some kinky pleasures...!!! Hey, if drinking were a sin do you think that God would force you to get drunk? So you better start praying RIGHT NOW that if God is about to chastise you that you have the strength to have a few drinks first. You can't possibly blame the Devil!
Proverbs 31:6-7 (NIV) Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more!
==========
edit: Ok here we are with more... Believe it or not, God is very much responsible for who gets what girl for a wife! In fact, God is known to take the wife away from a husband and give her to other men!
Jeremiah 10:10a (NIV) Therefore I (God) will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners.
2 Samuel 12:8 (NIV) I* (*God) gave your master's house to you* (*David), and your master's wives* (ex-King Saul’s wives) into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more (More wives yet! Wow!).
King David got Bathsheba pregnant and got her husband killed to take her all for himself. God was King David’s personal pimp and God didn’t like what King David did on his own!
2 Samuel 12:11-12 (NIV) This is what the LORD says: “Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.” (Done! 2 Samuel 16:21-22)
God loves a DAY CLUB setting in full public view! Private NIGHT CLUBS are of the Devil! God will never force anybody to sin… so ladies, enjoy all you can IT IS ALL ON GOD!!! In the case of King David his wives changed studs 3 times! Isn’t God so wonderful? Some Christian ladies wouldn’t stop praising the LORD! Amen?
There is still more... but for some other time ok? I may be reported if I overdo it!
