If you had a choice between losing your right hand (or left hand if you're a southpaw), and losing the person you love - I dunno, maybe pushing him/her out of the way of a falling glass pane - which would you choose?
Think carefully. Isn't sex so much more special with someone you love?
Because if sex signifies nothing more than physical gratification, you may as well keep your hand. It never has a headache when you are in the mood.

Sex is a part of life; it doesn't always have to "be perfect," it follows our ups and our downs.
It's that way with love, too. It comes and it goes. But a committed relationship - I mean a healthy one, with a track record of disclosure and ironed-out problems between the partners - is the price to pay for life-long happiness.
So riddle me this. If you had a choice, would you rather be born to parents who were faithful to each other - or not?
Sex signifies more than pleasure. Sex is consequential; and if you've ever said that "society owes its members (blank)," then understand that sex is incredibly important to a number of factors that keep society alive.
This, I think, is why people can get so uptight about sex. Are we not to value the multitude of cultures of the world? All have wildly different marriage contracts, but watch it! Those contracts, traditionally, are rigidly enforced. Sex is consequential.
Do you see? I don't think that people *have* to be uptight about it, but I do believe that it is entirely understandable to *be* uptight about it.

Sex and the subject as a whole really comes down to how you were raised and what your internal thoughts are about it. Everyone has different opinions because getting billions to agree on anything is impossible. Sex is something we have to do as a species. God made sure we were able to do it. It is society and personal insecurities that create feelings of guilt, shock, etc.
Seriously sex is about as much a sin as farting. Sex actually only becomes a sin when you lie about it or break promises you've made before God to have it with people you shouldn't.

Sex is not bad - it's a good thing! And don't let anyone tell you different. We're meant to have sexual thoughts, it's no shame and there should be no guilt. It's shocking to some because they have been reared in a society of repression and guilt. Having said that, sex, just as any human behavior, can be abused. Just follow the golden rule, you'll be all set!

Sexual intercourse outside of marriage IS considered a sin by those who follow the Bible. Sex within a marriage is not sinful.
Sexual thoughts are something we have because we are human. But we can have control over our thoughts and should. It is our choice.
The Bible, obviously, is very wise and when you follow what is says, you find out how much wisdom is within it. Just ask people who have no morals that sleep around. They are "empty" inside and carry around pieces of others they've had sex with which gets to them after a while.

If sex is a sin why does it feel so good when you are having it is the question I fire back with when asked this. Just cause people believe it is bad for you does it make it such?

Sex is a natural thing. Only people who try to use the concept of "sin" to control themselves and others view it as bad.
People feel guilty about sex because it's been forced into our heads that it is a "sin".
The people that consider it the biggest "sin" are the ones who need to have a counter force to prevent them from becoming all out perverts.

Anything good can be perverted.
Sex is not a sin but becomes a symptom of sin when you break your commitments to your spouse and your maker.
The commands boil down to not making use of the same sex and loving only the one you are with.
This is only hard to understand because some people refuse to understand it.

People are conditioned to think things a certain way. People also have built in insecurities about things. Ex: If I hate the way that my body looks then I am might project that hate towards the people that I am jealious of who can "flaunt" their stuff.
We do this a lot as humans. We tend to push the problem onto something else, rather than face our own "demons".

Lots of people think you should not do it until marriage. People think about it all the time REGUARDLESS of what they say, its a natural feeling, lots of people just like to keep it covered up, sex is actually a good thing if you love eachother and have a monogomous relationship....The down side is, people can use you for it, u can get pregnant, some people are addicts, std's, ect. You just have to be smart about your decision.

Many religions consider Sex before Marriage a sin, but not a sin at all, quite the opposite. I remember my religion classes at school included Sex-Ed.
