Answer 4

"Human sexuality is part of God’s beautiful creation. There is nothing sinful about it. However, like all God’s good gifts to human beings, sex has come under Satan’s pervasive plan to lead humanity away from God’s intentions. The function of sex is unitive and procreative, within the relationship of the male and the female coming together to form “one flesh.” When that relationship is breached, when sex occurs outside of marriage, either premaritally or extramaritally, we have the violation of the seventh commandment. And that is sin, a sin against God, against a fellow human, and against one’s own body.

But the Bible does not leave us without hope. It presents us with God’s grace and power to overcome every besetting sin, including the sexual. Even though sexual sins leave a scar on the conscience and causes hurt to another person, true repentance can open the doors of God’s forgiveness. No sin is so great that God’s grace cannot bring about healing and restoration. All we need to do is reach out for that grace, for it is that grace that enables us to realize within us each potential the Creator has placed within us.

And that applies to sex as well. At a time when sexual permissiveness and promiscuity prevails, it is imperative for us as Christians to reaffirm our commitment to the biblical view of sex as a divine gift to be enjoyed only within marriage."

Answer 5

Can't give you a website or exact chapter and verse.
The bible limits sex to a husband and wife. The one problem with that is that if a couple gets divorced and remarries to a different partner,they can't have sex because they would be committing adultery.
The bible recognizes only the first marriage.
I know alot of people will read this and disagree.

Answer 6

It is good not to have the Watchtower and Awake as sources of information.
If you want a place where information on the topic can be found, have a look at

Exodus 20:14 and Deuteronomy 5:18
"You shall not commit adultery.

Any kind of sexual act before or outside of marriage is adultery and a sin the eyes of God!!!

1 Corinthians 7:1-16
1 Now concerning the things about which YOU wrote, it is well for a man not to touch a woman; 2 yet, because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to [his] wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to [her] husband. 4 The wife does not exercise authority over her own body, but her husband does; likewise, also, the husband does not exercise authority over his own body, but his wife does. 5 Do not be depriving each other [of it], except by mutual consent for an appointed time, that YOU may devote time to prayer and may come together again, that Satan may not keep tempting YOU for YOUR lack of self-regulation. 6 However, I say this by way of concession, not in the way of a command. 7 But I wish all men were as I myself am. Nevertheless, each one has his own gift from God, one in this way, another in that way.

8 Now I say to the unmarried persons and the widows, it is well for them that they remain even as I am. 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be inflamed [with passion].

10 To the married people I give instructions, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not depart from her husband; 11 but if she should actually depart, let her remain unmarried or else make up again with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife.

12 But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her; 13 and a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and yet he is agreeable to dwelling with her, let her not leave her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, YOUR children would really be unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving one proceeds to depart, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not in servitude under such circumstances, but God has called YOU to peace. 16 For, wife, how do you know but that you will save [your] husband? Or, husband, how do you know but that you will save [your] wife?
