Yes, sex *can* be misused, but it can also be among the most powerful ways of embracing the love\light, and generating positive energies between people. Thus, of course, those who seek to control others like to control via sexual gating and ideas like "perversion" to shame people into compliance.
Granted, there are also valid reasons a tribe wouldn't want its members breeding too prodigiously, what with limited food and such, but this justifiable reason was quickly turned into a pure control system far too often, and in nearly every culture on earth. In doing so, they suppressed one of the best outlets for our energies the 3D realm has managed to come up with.
So I'd say more or less, as long as it's consensual and doesn't leave permanent marks, no harm no foul. If everyone leaves happy (and proper precautions are used) it's all good.
Three comments to that: sex without love is essentially the use of another human as an object for self-gratification. This is why Ra explains that unless a green-ray energy exchange occurs, sex is ultimately unsatisfying and leads to more desire for sex. Psychologically and spiritually, this is damaging, in the same way that hedonism in general is spiritually damaging by focusing on the material/physical and therefore inherently negating the spiritual. Recall one of Michael Newton's subjects saying that "sex is one of the biggest spiritual traps on Earth" (paraphrased). This is not to say that casual sex cannot be loving - but it is less probable that you can have a deep soul to soul connection if you barely know the other person.
Second, sex = energy exchange. Those of us on an intentional spiritual path work pretty hard to keep our thoughts, emotions, actions, -- in other words, our energies - focused on light. Casual sex could be somewhat like taking a random container off the shelf at Auto Zone and pouring its contents into your drink of water. You can even pick up some nasty thought-form polluters that can be very difficult to shake. Venereal diseases are a nice physical analog or manifestation of the spiritual pollution one is likely to pick up through promiscuity.
Third, there may be other reasons (than limiting population) to reserve sexual intercourse to mated couples. Children are a major if not the major reason. Children need stability and healthy/supportive attachment. By all indicators - and I mean all indicators - children of single parents, on average, fare much worse than those of stable couples.
Ultimately, as with anything in existence, it is good and positive but only if utilized in harmony with spiritual principles.
