Yes and no to all questions. Society has assumed that "marriage" as we define it is God's definition. The Bible does not support this. A man taking a wife was originally described as "uncovering her" or "going in unto her". Christianity assumes that marriage is a ceremony of exchanged vows and pastoral blessing because Esther married by ceremony and Jesus' first recorded miracle was at a "marriage ceremony". The historian Josephus records the Hebrew wedding ceremony as a celebration and consumation and verification. He does not mention vows among man and woman. A woman or man are only recorded as having made "vows" to God. So it is the "uncovering" of a woman that the Bible defines as marriage. The bad news is that if you uncover more than one woman, you are commiting adultery. Now, more good news: The law of Moses provides that if a woman commit adultery and the man agree to keep her, he can keep her but must never speak of it again. The woman can do likewise. Many people say the law of Moses and the instruction of Jesus in this are contradictory. That is not possible to a true believer because both are the instruction of God. Jesus taught that to look on another woman with lust was adultery. It is not a contradiction. It is just a clarification of some disagreement about what , exactly, adultery is. The decision to keep a spouse regardless of adultery remains clear. If both commit adultery, it is the decision of both whether or not to stay together. In either regard, adultery is the sin in a "marriage". Since lying with a woman is the marriage, fornication is equivalent to whoredom. Paul taught that a man should choose one woman to prevent the distraction of many. Lust is a common sin. Paul taught that for us not to be distracted by lust, a man should choose one wife and a woman choose one man. Technically, according to the Bible, laying with a woman is marriage and only if the two agree to lay with others is that not a sin. To agree requires confession, a common concept of God's principles, and agreement or sacrifice in the agreement, which would be the sacrifice of anger or jealousy... also a common concept of God's. If lust for more than one woman is a distraction from serving the Lord, fornication is a whoredom and a sin. There's more good news: We are not victim to any sin. We are not held prisoner by any sin, however much we feel it has a hold on us. I can tell you from experience that God is merciful and sends the Holy Spirit to wrestle the lusts of the flesh from us. We only have to choose.
Oral sex is not a sin unless one of the sinful circumstances noted above apply.
God Bless you and keep you in His peace.

Hiring an escort is a sin only if you have sex with said escort in my opinion. I think if you need a date to go to an event and dont have any friends of the opposite sex then why not hire an escort. It is not required to have sexual relations with them. On the other hand, if you are hiring them for sex then they are not considered an escort but a prostitute. Which is a sin.
In Christianity sex before marriage is a sin.
Oral sex is an "unnatural" form of sex according to some people, making it a sin. It is also considered a waste of seed to some people.
I am not a Christian so these answers are really just my opinion and the opinions I have heard from friends and family that are Christian.

1. Well, it would be like hiring a prostitute. By doing so, you are encouraging more girls/women to go into that, "profession". Which is a sin, in Christianity.
2. Yes, in Christianity, sex is a very HUGE deal, so only one partner(husband or wife) would be approriate. Also, in the olden days, when Christianity was formed, they didn't have the use of "protection", thus many women would get pregnant, and have no husband to support them.
3. Many Christians have debated on this subject. Most have resorted to the fact that it is a perversion, not a sin. So they consider it bad, but not so much that it would be a sin and G-d would not allow it.
I'm not Christian myself, and do not beleive in these views, I just know alot about the religion.
Just keep in mind, that these laws were written in old times, when a women was stoned for commiting adultry.. Times change, so can views. So in the end, it's your opinion to decide if you are a "good" Christian, or a "bad" one.

1. Is hiring escort's a sin? Like a one time thing, just having pleasure.
Yes this is a sin. Unless you are just dating and not having sexual intercourse.
2. Is sex before marriage a sin?
Yes, sex before marriage is a sin. The Bible refers to sex before marriage as fornication. Having sex with someone whom you are not married to, while at least one of the two of you are married is called adultery.
3. Is oral sex a sin?
This is one I really don't know the answer. The bottom line is God calls sex outside of marriage a sin, he also calls having sex with someone with at least one of the two of you married to someone else also a sin.
The good news about all of this is that Jesus will forgive it all. Sounds like to me, the cross you are going to have to bare the burden of, during your Christian walk, is going to be a weakness for sex. Every single Christian has a weakness of some sort. Mine is women. I am married and love my wife dearly. She is a fantastic woman. I struggle to not look at other women. I have to go to the Lord in prayer daily to fight this fight, because I can't win it on my own. I have never once faltered, but the temptation has been there, a fact I can not deny.

Sex is a gift from God to give us not just children but also pleasure. It is intensely personal and intimate. God wants us to use it within the confines of marriage. It is safe there, it is clean there. When you share this gift with someone you don't even know a "escort" you are sinning. If you take a partner outside the holy bonds at all you are in sin. Now number 3 there is no intimate behavior inside a marriage that is wrong. Like I said it's a gift from God.. Use it wisely.... Jim

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.
(1&2) Sex outside of a marriage.One male and one female makes a
family unit. The only sins that can be committed in a family unit is for
the husband to have a affair with his own child or another woman he is
not married to.The same thing goes for the wife to.
(3)Oral sex?The Bible says whatsoever is not of faith is sin I would have to say yes because I can't do it and have a clear conscience.
All sin is forgivable except rejecting Jesus Christ.
In Christ in LOve,

Adultery is sin. Sex with anyone that is not your spouse or future spouse.Including sex for hire.
Sex with future spouse is a sin, because there is no respect or commitment. You should get married soon. Show some respect & / or committment. Oral sex is same an any kind of sex with spouse.
Just test yourself this way. Am I married to this person?
