Sex outside of marrage is Adultry.
Sex before marriage is fornication.
Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
1Cr 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

The story of Joseph in Egypt talks a little bit about that (Gen. 39). Anything dealing with chastity and virtue, or especially anything dealing with fornication (which exactly is sex outside of marriage). Some of the fornication ones are: Acts 15: 20, 1 Cor. 6: 9, 1 Ths. 4: 3. These are a few. There are tons in the scriptures.

If you are one of His, dont sell out to lust, you have authority over it, don't let it rob you of your peace and treasure.Tell your body,Body your doin the will of God, and thats all there is to it. Then go set your mind on things above ,where Christ is seated.

Websters dictionary states that fornication is voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.
so in the bible it states that God is agaist fornication as in Mark 7:21, romans 1:29, 1 corinthians 6:18, and just one to say outloud. 1 corinthians 10:8 8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed.... and my favorite 1 corithians 1:7Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Good Luck..... if you Pray and read your bibe daily this should not be such an issue.... trust me....ive gone through this....by the way if you are a christian and is struggling the best verse to help me through it 1 corinthians 10:13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Acts 15:20 - "but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood." (reading the context will help you understand a bit better)
1 Corinthians 6:18 - "Flee from fornication. Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but he that practices fornication is sinning against his own body."

1 Corinthians 6:8-10 (.
8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither FORNICATORS, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:5
For this you know, that no FORNICATOR, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
1 Timothy 1:9-11 (New King James Version)

9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for FORNICATORS, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

Flee from fornication. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.-1 Corinthians 6:18-20

The word used is 'fornicate' but there are also verses that say the mustard seed is the smallest and that Jesus gets angry at a tree for not bearing fruit out of season...but there are specific verses abut 'fornification'(see above)-BUT, even though I obviously don't take the Bible's mythology seriously, I do agree that you involve your own body so take care!

Adultery essentially means having sex with someone who's not their spouse. So yeah. Ten Commandments.
