You need to consider first what a sin is. I define a sin as anything that is not an act of Love, and love is anything that builds up, makes better, creates. Love is creation.
If you are having sex to create love and new life then essentially it is not a sin. If the sex is purely for physical pleasure, then I believe it is a sin.
Men and women see sex and love differently (mostly) and even if you enter into sex with the highest ideals it can soon sour if one of the partners in the sexual activity changes focus on what the sex is all about. That is why sex is best kept with in the confines of marriage where there is a promised commitment to the love that is expressed in the intimate act of sexual intercourse.
In the act of Love that is sex the ultimate aim is (should be) the creation of New Life. If a new life is created it is just the beginning of the love that will be required to fully create a person. and again in marriage, where there has been a committment to Love, is the ideal environment to nuture this created person.
Love matures and changes, because we tend to be creatures of habit and usually fear change. Marriage can (should) provide us with a stable platform on which we can learn, practice and develop the love that makes up our life with someone that we trust and share our lives with. Your question is a difficult one to answer because sex between a married couple can still be sinful if it is not an act of Creative Love.
Love is selfless, Sin is selfish

As a Buddhist the precept is to avoid sexual misconduct. If the relationship will progress without harming others ie not an affair, not a fling OK.
It is not just the two of you who you should concider, are there others that can be hurt?
Mentally change positions with others who you feel may be effected ask why they may react this way?
Are there actions that can avoid/prevent this concern.
Have you concidered what will happen if more results arrive than are planned?
Is it you or pressure arround you that make you ask the question?

Sin is just propaganda for believers, to keep them obediently warming the pews and filling the collection plates.
As for sex, most religions will tell you it's the vilest and most disgusting thing on earth, and you should save it for someone you really love.
If you allow such hypocrisy to rule your life, then nobody can help you. If you prefer to think for yourself, then you already have your answer.

I've been led to believe that, YES, it is a sin, yet I'm still searching for the bible verse(s) which back that up. Bible aside, I still believe it's just stupid to put yourself in that situation due to exposing ones self to unplanned parenthood, health issues, and guilt issues that go along with termination of pregnancy. Not to mention the emotional crap that goes along with it when one person is committed and the other is just out for a ride.

Yes, it is. It is called adultry; in all religions. Love and the mutuality of the act makes it not a rape. However, there is no legal justification for the relation. If you are in love, believe in one another and want to spend the rest of your lives together, why don't you get married then do whatever you want?

YES:
1co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

My opinion - love, sex and marriage are intertwined. Provided all three result in the end, it doesn't matter in which order they occur.
But I don't believe in the concept of 'sin'.

Yes, it is in the bible.
After marriage there is commitment, and children are raised in a family.
Without marriage, sex is like in animals
