1) It is not wrong; it is probably healthy for future marriage prospects....
2) Threesome will only improve this psychologically...

You have a choice :
1. Sex before marriage is okay - full stop. Keep religion out of it.
2. Or bring Biblical religion in. Sex before marriage isn't okay - and doesn't become okay by 'repenting', 'cos (not being nasty, honest !) I don't think you know what repentance is. You're treating repentance like going overdrawn at the bank : no problem till the next time as long as you clear the balance. Repentance means you genuinely feel you've done wrong and will try hard not to do it again. Looks like you're describing a policy of 'I can do it again and again as long as I repent' - like you want and intend to carry on doing it. But that's not the state of mind of a penitent !
But hey, in case I'm being unfair or unkind - you're right in a way. From a Christian standpoint, if you genuinely repented, 'fell from grace' and did it again, you would be forgiven again if you once again genuinely repented ... and so on and so forth. Seems to me this is the real-life situation of most Christians : they keep on sinning (I'm not talking specifically about sex before marriage) but pick themselves up, repent, and try to stay straight in future. But most likely they'll 'stray' and repent again.

"God created sex. Priests created marriage."
Voltaire
The idea of no sex before marriage was a way to keep women inexperienced and thus protect the fragile male ego from the fear of not being "good enough" or "not measuring up" so to speak. Basically, if your wife is a virgin she has nothing to compare you to, so you have no worries about being the best or biggest she's ever had.
It's a sad, sad, curse that men have put upon half of the world's population. Women are judged for doing the very thing that perpetuates our species... sex.
So many men want to marry a virgin, but then they can't understand why she doesn't turn into a pornstar in the bedroom after they get married. Well, it's because of all the sexually repressed garbage she's had bestowed upon her her whole life by guys exactly like her husband, and now she's just supposed to forget all that "sl%t" and "whore" stuff she was told she'd be and become one just for him. When she can't get over it that easy he looks outside their marriage for the sexual fulfillment he's not getting inside it. Hence the porn addictions and all the married guys posing as "single" on Yahoo! Personals or placing ads on dating websites thinking they can get some kinky action behind their wife's back.
“In America sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it is a fact.”
Marlene Dietrich ~ German movie actress (1901 - 1992)
“Chastity: the most unnatural of the sexual perversions.”

Dear friend
There is a proper concept in our religion (Islam) about repenting. Sex before marriage in any case is not permissible and its is in any case not valueable thing.
As for as repenting is concerned, it is only accepted by God Almighty when you stop yourself to do the wrong doing in future. It states that when you decide for your self that you will not do that sin (Sex before marriage in this case) then you repenting is accepted by God. But if you have in mind that you will repent again after have sin again, this is not repenting (with any religion's point of view).
May be you get my point.

No, the whole point of repenting is to say your sorry and you will try your very best to see it doesn't happen again. If you kill a person and repent, God will say it's ok. If you kill another person and screw God over, you can't just repent again and act like it's ok.

That is not how it works. If you "repent" with the intention of committing the same sin again then you have not really repented.

Sex before marriage is wrong only when it desanctifies the impact of the act within the people involved.
Holiness and sanctity come from intent and action. Being virginal and waiting to marry might be a virtue, but not if it makes one marry someone simply to marry in order to be able to engage in sex.
Holiness is in right action, and sex is holy when it is an expression of love and caring between two people, not when it is 'sanctified' by a sheet of paper. Those who say otherwise are hypocrites and pharisees.

It is wrong. Your not suppose to do it, and if you keep doing it and repent, that must mean you don't mean it, right? Unless your a sex addict, then you would need a lot more than just repentance...
And I don't mean that in a bad way, but if you keep doing it and you know it's wrong....why keep doing it?

If you believe what the bible says, then yes. To repent of something means to turn around, and stop doing it. There needs to be sincerity. I quote you Proverbs 28:13:
He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
There must be a forsaking of sin as well as confession.

You attempt at humor has a pretty defiant tone, don't you think?
"But do you have this idea, O man, while you judge those who
**practice such things**
and yet you do them, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, because you do not know that the kindly [quality] of God is trying to lead you to repentance?
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and of the revealing of God’s righteous judgment. 6 And he will render to each one according to his works: 7 everlasting life to those who are seeking glory and honor and incorruptibleness by endurance in work that is good; 8 however, for those who are contentious and who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness there will be wrath and anger,"
-Romans 2:3-8
Doesn't **Practice** remind you of someone who actually does things over and over trying to perfect it?
However, you sound rather mocking.
Perhaps that is something you can work on first.
