That's a common notion.
I don't understand it either. :shrug:
Genesis doesn't mention sex once when discussing the Garden of Eden and expulsion from it. The first sin of man was simply disobeying God and eating of the tree of knowledge (whatever that may mean). A legitimate argument may be that the TRUE original sin was pride - both from the perspective of Lucifer being cast from heaven, and the argument the serpent used to persuade Eve - but I've never heard SEX as being an original sin...
