Yes there is a fallen human nature that is referred to in the Romans as 'flesh' - meaning the corrupted and destructive inclinations of being in this body. But God created us as fleshly bodies, and he saw that it was 'very good'.

I've just had a great evening with my 20 year old (straight) YF and just beaten him at chess and it's time I was in bed, so this isn't a proper reply, but I hope this moves the conversation on......
