"Sex (insert qualifiers of your choosing) is immoral" is a normative claim.
"Many people are not attracted to family members, and sex with an unattractive partner does not provide warm fuzzies" is an empirical claim.

"Sex is probably a good experience to have" is challenging the validity of the moral claim.
"Sex with people you aren't attracted to is probably a good experience to have"... do I really need to provide further refutation once it's stated like that?
