I'd say fornication isn't so much a "sin" as it's a distraction from things you should be doing with your time that'd be more constructive. Yes it's fun, but where is it getting you?
So no, it wouldn't piss God off that you don't feel guilty. Just focus on being productive in the future.
Maybe that'd be a good leaflet for my church. "F*@k, but then go read a book."

I believe that God loves you and wants what is best for you. It's not a question of pissing God off but more of hurting God's feelings and having behaviour that gets in the way of your relationship with God.
If you had a wild time in the past and no-one got hurt and you are now in a stable relationship that is one thing. But if you caused hurt to other people, then that was bad - but I guess you know that.
If you want to get closer to God then may be consider a different route from the Jehovah's Witnesses who have some very odd beliefs and very strict rules. There are lots of options out there like Quakers which would be much better than Jehovah's Witnesses.....
You might find a more liberal tradition more helpful and supportive. Have a look at the website http://www.rejesus.co.uk/encounters/steps_faith/index.html
I've found it very helpful.
Most true people of faith are much more concerned about building positive relationships with God, with each other and with creation than worrying about sexual rules.
Unfortunately religion is often portrayed as being all about banning things when in my experience it is much more about finding fulfilment and discovering what life is really about....
I wish you peace & joy and will pray for you

Sure...it angers God. He did not create you to be that way. You are essentially slapping Him in the face when you choose to sin. I've done a lot of fornicating in my past too. But I repented, and was forgiven, and with that comes a new heart with new and different desires. I'm truely sorry I sinned like that now. If you believe the Bible as the word of God, then it states that all fornicators will have their part in the Lake of Fire. Put simply, if you die as a non-repented fornicator, you go to hell. That what you want? Does that concern you? It should! That why Jesus died... so you don't have to suffer the judgement you deserve (or me either). Believe and trust in Him as Lord, and tell him you're sorry for all your past sins...and He will wipe your sins clean and give you what you don't deserve... eternal life with Him.

I assume your question is framed in a Christian context where the originally Jewish notion of sin has been incorporated and now effectively means that many basic human emotions and desires are regarded as wrong...why 'God' would deliberately design us to fail this sin test has never been explained to my satisfaction.
There are other religious views that embrace ,accept and celebrate what it is to be human and reject these arbitrary notions of guilt or sin.
If you wish to follow a spiritual path to the Divine but retain your essential humanity I would suggest you consider the Pagan path,if you look there you will find a gentler non-condemning religion that might suit you.
Ultimately what matters is that you find spiritual peace whatever religion you follow.

God would forgive you for your sin, but if you don't see the need to repent and ask forgiveness, I can't see that you are embracing God at all. Embracing God is all about repentance and forgiveness and you shun both. Sorry to be so blunt

No. I don't think so only because we're told that Jesus allegedly hung out with the down trodden, poor, and the working women. That isn't to suggest anything about you - but if Jesus could forgive and hang with prostitutes - I highly doubt some pre-marital sex is going to keep you away from God.
Personally - I don't think any real God would hold something like sex against anyone. That's just dumb and irrational.
The only people who are going to tell you different are the bible thumpers.

I did as well. The point is that, when we become Christian, the past is the past. If we need to deal with something, God lets us know one way or the other.
You must be baptised in water and The Holy Spirit, and you must find a Bible believing Church (in other words, one that shows it's Christian by the way it's members care for one another),
The Holy Spirit does all the work for us, He let's us know what needs changing, we have the choice to let Him or not, then He changes us. The aim is for us to be freed of all the rubbish the world lays on us and become our true selves.

If there is a god why would he not want you to enjoy sex? No need to repent either. Anyway if you read the bible god seems pretty pissed off already. You enjoying yourself isn't going to make much difference is it?
Well said Snowth!

Well if you didn't actually do it to piss God off then that's not as bad, but what he wants you to do is find one person that you love to sleep with for the rest of your life not degrade yourself and settleing for no love!
I think it's great that you've decided to embrace God! For a start you must believe in him and that he wants to help youu!
Good luck!

Human beings are mammals designed to fornicate it is a natural instinct. Whether you believe we were designed by God; have evolved from apes or any other given theory; you won't have pissed anyone off, you did what you were created to do.
