here are a couple verses for ya
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
hope this helps

there is nothing immoral about sex or the number of people you can make love to, before christianity and Islam dominated the world most other systems of belief including Hindu , Buddhist and Ancient Egyptian Beliefs had an extremely open perspective towards sex. it is only christianity and isalm who have attempted to repress this nature within us . Sex is the highest form of gnosis that humans can comprehend sure because of the political context of religion 2000 years ago there are references to adultry etc. but these are just measures to preserve the followers of the belief not any law or word of God, remember there was no such thing as contraception that offered protection from disease.
To deny humanities sexual nature is to deny God and his purpose and next time you feel likethis just remember
"Do what thou will shall be the whole of the Law, Love is the law, love under will"

Here are a few scripture verses upon which to meditate:
Hold onto instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.
—Proverbs 4:13
I have made a covenant with my eyes, how then could I gaze at a virgin?
—Job 31:1
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked, or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it, turn from it and go on your way.
—Proverbs 4:14-15
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
—Proverbs 4:23
And do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
—Romans 6:13
Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body… Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? May it never be!… Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body… For you have been bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.
—I Corinthians 6:13-20
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
—Galatians 6:7
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one woman (a one woman kind of man)
—I Timothy 3:2
Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
—I Timothy 5:1,2

When one starts to build upon a false premise, as you have done here, one forms all kinds of false beliefs out of that false premise. The false premise you are beginning with is that God intended sex only for procreation. That is a false teaching which has sprung up out of some religions, or even some individuals. But, because an indivisual, or even a religion, says something is so does not necessarily make it so. In the things of God, only what is in the Bible is what God directs.. Yes, God intended sex for procreation, but not ONLY for that reason. There is no place in Scripture which states that sex is ONLY for procreation. God stated (I'm paraphrasing) that when a man and a woman become married, they become one flesh. Think about it. The only way a man and a woman can become one is in the sexual union. God DID intend for sex to be one of the rewards for a man and a woman leaving the homes they were reared in, and beginning a new home of their own through the marriage covenant. But, in no place doesGod state that they cannot continue to enjoy the joys of sex when one or the other becomes too old, or too weak, or too ill, or too handicapped, or for whatever reason, unable to produce offspring. So, the teaching that sex isONLY for procreation is a false teaching. However, the teaching that God intends sex ONLY for a married man and woman is a correct Biblical teaching. So, don't form any teachings about food based upon yhe teaching that sex is ONLY for procreation, because that is a false teaching which cannot be found in Scripture. The Bible does teach that we should be moderate in all things, and that includes food, but there are no prohibitions against "junk food." Moderation is the key word, and that is NOT based upon sex being used only for procreation. It is based upon us being able to exercise self control. I hope this helps you. Go in peace. And always remember: -- Jesus loves you!! Sincerely, Uncle Floyd

Hope this helps you. May God Bless and Keep you in all you do for Him.
Adultery
Exodus 20:14 says, "You shall not commit adultery."
Matt. 5:27, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
Fornication
Acts 15:29, "...that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well."
Immorality
Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 “These are the things which defile the man."
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body." Eph. 5:3, "But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints."
Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
1 Thess. 4:2, "For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God."
Marriage
Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

Bible verses mean nothing if you aren't truly committed to remaining chaste. That could mean being a virgin, or it could mean just staying in a committed relationship with one person.That is your choice. Psychologists agree that young people who sleep around and have multiple sex partners generally have little or no self-esteem and they are seeking "love" - or what they have perceived as love. By becoming promiscuous, eventually they feel even more worthless so the opposite effect is achieved. Look in the mirror and tell youself that you are WORTHY OF LOVE- you are a gift to be cherished, not to be wasted or spread around like cheap dirt. When you are with someone and feel tempted, remind yourself that there is one special person out there who is waiting to treat you like the truly amazing person you are. When you find that special person, you don't want to have any skeletons in your closet and you sure as heck don't want to present yourself with herpes, HIV, chlamidia or other reminder of past errors in decisions.

If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep.
