Greeting Jackie G,
According to the Bible the answer is yes. It is the act of "fornication" that is the sin, not the consequences. The Apostle Paul in his instructions to Timothy tells him to "flee also youthful lusts" (2 Tim. 2:22). There are many passages in the Bible that address this issue, I will only refer you to Galatians 5:16-24. Let the Bible be your moral compass, not the shifting values of society. I pray that God will give you the strength to make the right choices.

It all depends on your own personal morals. Some people believe it is a sin. They can't do it no matter how much they may be tempted. For others, it isn't a sin, and they have no problem. Personally, I think it is fine, provided you are both adults and consenting. Also, to me, the real sin is not being aware of the STD's out there and providing yourself with the proper protection.

it depends on the beliefs of the church you attend. some interpret the OT as saying intercourse then is a sin. but that would leave out oral, anal, and/or masturbation. from my perspective, sex is so wonderful with the right person you should never rush into it. and you can never be 100% sure the woman won't get pregnant. better safe than sorry. by intercourse i meant doing it like the woman was trying to get pregnant.

Yes it is, any act of sex before marriage is considered a sin. Whether you get pregnant or not is completely not relevant.

You are better off waiting until you are married. There is less of a chance of getting a venerial disease. You husband can not say what a ho you were before you were married. In general you will be happier waiting until after you marry

According to Christainty it is. And also with most major religions. But I feel that I just don't want to play around I don't want to give myself unless I know it's going to lead somewhere. I'm not going to tell you if it's right or wrong. You have to decide for yourself what's right for you. Waiting feels right for me. But if it isn't for you just be careful and get educated.

If you are Catholic then yes it is a sin. Any form of sex outside of marriage is a mortal sin.
