Sex is a great, positive thing. It feels good and it's good for your body. Having sex with someone you care about is a wonderful pastime, and if you're not focused on "marriage first", you don't have to worry that you're marrying someone out of lust rather than love.
I knew a LOT of Christians in college who married because they thought they were in love, when they were really just horny. After the sex wore off, so did the marriage. Statistically (or so I've been told), divorce rates are higher among Christians.
If both partners are tested and disease free, and if condoms and birth control are used, sex is safe. So why is it bad / immoral? And why would you expect (assuming you do) your spouse to have saved him / herself for you? Many people don't get married until their mid-twenties, which is well after our sexual maturity. Why would we miss out that experience?
