To the Jewish People here, Ultra-Orthodox and Hassidics will differ with you on sex outside of marraige.
All through the Bible, Torah and NT, it talks about taking wives, husbands and becoming married.
Holiness probably does mean being as pure as you possibly can be.
Liking sex can be holy, so long as it's done purely and respectfully.
Are we humans or are we animals. If we are animals and sex is so all-fired wonderful, why don't we get rid of those moral sex laws and allow rape, which is how dogs and cats do sex. The big male climbs on the female in heat and he don't care if she wants it or not, he's driven and he's going to get it.
Women love hiding behind moral and religious laws when it suits them.
Men would love to go back to the old fashioined Homo Erectus manner of clubbing one the head and taking them back to cave to do all the things they don't like to do and to provide for all the needs they crave.
Prostitution is another thing that should be eliminated then, of course that's a major threat to women, because it means man won't play your ritualistic games to get their sex, they just go out and buy it.
Dehumanizing to women? What, SEX is dehumanizing or is CAPITALISM dehumanizing?
Make your minds up, don't pick and choose from the Religious and religiously based Moral codes by which to live and condem others just because it suits your fancy.
Don't complain about cheating.
Don't complain about getting dumped after providing all the sex for a period of time.
It's fun, remember!
Was as good for you as it was for me!?
Why all the complaints after the fall!

Holiness is understanding you are wrong and you wisdom is futile. Holiness is accepting Jesus as you lord and savior but more than that depending on him for every thing, and i mean every thing. No worrying about money, that is his duty, no thinking and no talking with your understanding, he is your words and your wisdom. The bible is a collection of the accomplishments and failures of those who served before you, read it and live it. And not having sex, only a few can handle that and if you can't then marry for the bed is undefiled and pure before the Lord our God.

..Holiness is what God is. Holiness also comprises his plan for his people. He is pure and without sin, and desires this in His people also.
...It may surprise you to hear that sex is God's idea, and His word has many things to say about it. Sex is good and right in a proper marriage relationship (a married couple - a man and a woman).
...And if you follow God's guidelines, think of what you can miss out on - STDs, unwanted/unplanned pregnancies, and problems in married life (counselors report many problems in married couples who had premarital sex).
...1 John 5:3 says, "3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."
...He knows what is best for us.

Holiness does not mean celibacy. You can like sex and still be pure of heart. Sex is a natural and adult pleasure, and while it a considered "dirty" or sinful in many religions and our society, it is actually a beautiful gift to us humans.

Meaning of holiness differ from people to people. For the people in society, holiness is determined if a person do not have any eye towards any other person besides his/her spouce/partner. For the sages, holiness is in purity and free from sex.

We were made to enjoy pleasure...within the parameters set by God. These are not because He's anti-pleasure. These parameters are for our own good, so we can enjoy pleasure to its fullest measure without negative consequences. God thought of sex. The parameters are marriage. Period.
Holiness means being set apart. It does not mean being stoic. The Bible says that at God's right hand "are pleasures forevermore." This doesn't mean sex, by the way. Just thought I'd clarify. It's speaking of the fact that God Himself is enjoyable. His presence is not boring. That aside, no, sex is not wrong. It'sf un. But it was designed to be enjoyed within certain parameters, as already stated.
And another thing...
True freedom is not freedom TO sin, but freedom FROM sin (which is the abuse/mistreatment of the good God created, attempting to enjoy pleasure outside the proper boundaries, with negative consequences). Freedom TO sin really just means you're in bondage to that sin and its negative consequences. Freedom from sin is to have the pleasure of a clear conscience, to enjoy communion with an enjoyable, beautiful God, and to enjoy the pleasures and good things He created for us to enjoy without backlash or regrets.
This is all from a Christian worldview perspective. Take it or leave it.

Sex inside of mariage is a gift from God.... and is pure in God's eyes.
Any form of sex outside of mariage or in a perverted unnatural form is a detestible sin... a terrible evil in God's eyes...
It spreads disease... is causes Aids... it leads to an unclean mind and body and soul... it leads to premature pregnacies, abortion, sexual perverts... it is sick and immoral and there is no other way to discribe it but with the word SIN.
Man chose evil and evil perverted all of the gifts of God, to be subject to abuse.
We are all sinners. What makes an immoral homosexul any different than an immoral strait person?
They are both sinners... Sin has blackened their soul...
Only Christ can take away sin and make us pure in the eyes of God, a Holy God.

holiness is pure - not thinking of any evil things
it is normal for human to have sex... BUT - in the cleanest way or legal way... like you don't make experiments in sex
SEX - is the DIVINE union of man and woman... this means, you don't make anything wrong of it because it says that it is Divine - which is same with holy/pure

holiness might come to that point, yes. but that doesn't mean that we have to be. The apostles have had celibacy and they were some of the holy people or saints of God. but then Abraham and Jacob and Enoch(whom the Bible said had walked with God) have not had celibacy and yet they are still holy. God made us with this so He permits it. But don't be to overwhelmed by liking sex too much that you would forget God and his commandments and laws..
thanks...

Holiness is related to God and not humans. Some religions brought it to human level but there is no such thing.
As for sex, if you follow religion, go for the rules, wait till you are married if not no sin is done.
