Sex before marriage is sex without commitment.
Exodus 20:14, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Psalm 66:18, 1 Corinthians 13,
John 8:11, 2 Timothy 2:22 and Genesis 39:7-12.
If you do not like your partners, you can change and find somebody else. Such casual relationships destroy the integrity of the person by reducing it to an object to be used for personal gratification.
Some, who feel hurt and used after sexual encounters, may withdraw altogether from sexual activity for fear of being used again or may decide to use their bodies selfishly, without regard to the feeling of others.
Sex? God created it and therefore it is reasonable to expect that it is good. But when man distorts it by ignoring God's specific standards, it becomes harmful and destructive.
An adulterer was a man who had sexual intercourse with a woman he was not married to, either a married woman or one who was engaged to be married.
Sex is a good thing and the only way to keep it a “good thing” is to follow God's guidelines.

Fornication is the word the Bible uses for sex outside of marriage. Acts chapter 15 verses 20 and 29 plus 21:25 talk about how we should not do this. Plus, 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and 1 Corinthians 10:8 and many, many more. Look up the word fornication in your concordance in the back of your Bible.

It is in many places in the Bible. Check the concordance at the end and you will find many passages there. It is not so much don't as it is so much as to why don't. Think of the times you might have gotten very badly hurt by the one who left you behind because another would with him or her. The Bible cautions us not to before marriage so we don't hurt ourselves or even get bad reputations for sleeping around. Who would want you then? It is good advice that protects us.

Find a Strong's Concordance and look up the word fornication, then you will have your answer. Fornication, according to the Bible, is any type of sexual act when unmarried. Once married , sex with anyone other than spouse is adultery

No there is no direct quote from the bible against it but it is still sex or a sexual act. We are to act in a wholesome manner with each other and respect our own bodies as well as the bodies of others. There's no loop hole.

You know a lot of people swear by the Bible and say that it is the words of God. Yet they all agree that the Bible was written by holy men, but still they are men. Now in the Bible it says that all men are fallible(able to make mistakes) and if that is true, doesn't that mean the Bible is fallible, being written by men?

why would you want to have sex before getting married? do you not want to save yourself and have it be special?
