You're the type of Christian that makes the Bible conform to her beliefs rather than the other way around.
Anyway, the idea is that physical intimacy should be bound to the concept of love, and that marriage is a guarantee of staying together. The latter part has been thrown out the window, of course, and marriage is now a legal and financial institution. I do not think marriage means anything, but I do believe in having sex only with the person you love and wish to be with for your life, though not just for the practical reasons of avoiding HIV.
The idea of entering another person's body or having another person enter your body seems like a very intimate matter, along with the openness of being naked and the closeness of holding each other. Combine this with the idea that sex without love is really just for your own pleasure and desires, and that lusting after other people at all is the same, and you have some good reasons for saving it. Not everyone thinks they're good, of course...
It's ultimately another one of those personal matters, though I would never think to do it. I don't lust after anyone but my girlfriend, and not because God tells me it's wrong. I just think the relationship becomes all the stronger when one lets go of outside desires.
However, from a Christian standpoint, you are violating both the law of marriage and the idea of not lusting after others. The fundamentalists are worse to me because they inhibit progress, but people like you also disgust me simply out of hypocrisy. You throw about titles and labels yet flagrantly defy them...

Why is it a sin? Because God said so... He gets to define what is sin and what is holy.
Why did He call it sin? To be mean? No. To show that He's the boss and can do whatever He wants to? No. To protect us from the harm that pre-marital sex brings with it? YES! He said not to do that for the same reason we tell our kids not to eat the ant poison - it's bad for us! Pre-marital sex results in all kinds of bad things: Children born who won't be raised by two loving, life-committed parents.... possibility of STD's..... and even if you get past all those problems, there is still the sexual baggage carried into marriage once you do find the person you want to be together with for the rest of your life.
Cassie, I'm glad you didn't try to cover your real feelings and claim that you want to "Give yourself to the man you love..." (for those people - If you love your bf/gf, then help each other to have the best marriage possible and help each other to be virgins for marriage) But Cassie, I think you need to check that decision - not about premarital sex, but about inviting Jesus to be your Lord. Think about what Lord means..... and invite Him.
God bless you.

Back then, the religious leaders felt that sex should only be for procreation (of course, since there was no birth control). They felt that an ideal family will be what we now call a nuclear family unit. Saying that sex before marriage is a sin is a way to dictate that this unit is established.

Sex without being married is a sin in every religion and faith...it's called fornication and it's in the Bible.
So if you're a Christian and you believe in the Bible sex without marriage is a sin. Unless you're a "pick & choose" Christian

Because, hon, according to tradition, sex is dirty, sin, sin , sin, and that has been preached to traditional christians forever. If it weren't for the idea of sin, sin, sin, there would be no need to save yo A ($)($). and there would be no need for religion. In the christian tradition, it is fear of burning in hell that has kept people in 'line'... it is still used today.
What is immoral is to have children you cannot support, who will have no dad in their lives, that resulted from your unprotected sex..... That, hon, is real sin...sin against humanity.....
What you, as a consenting adult wish to do with your own body, is your own business, including to end it all if you wish. It's your life, and your bod. And when blood stops circulating, and your become dead, it is over....whether that it today, tomorrow, or in the year 2080.
Other than that... Sin? What is sin?

What's better?
Being made love to by a man who loves you and who you know doesn't have HIV or any STDs and when you get pregnant, he's be there with you to raise your children without running around with another woman.
Sex is a sin because:
1. God said so.
2. God isn't trying to spoil our fun, but he's trying to protect us from things like HIV.
3. God knows that the happiest couples have a life long committment to each other.

It has to be a marriage in the eyes of the Christian god. You don't have to have that cute little piece of paper that people put way too much value in. In the bible, it's about how "God" see's it. But, on the flip side of that, there are a bunch of disclaimers about "divorce" in the bible that I don't feel like typing right now. I admire your liberal sense in your Christian faith. You're the kind of Christain that gives them a good name.
People are going to hate this answer. Watch for all the thumbs down. =)

Problem is you only want to accept the parts of the bible you are already complying with. This is the difference between discipleship and lukewarmness. A disciple constrains himself when necessary, ie, the root of the word;discipline.
Jesus said the "two shall become one flesh" and Paul expounded "he that is joined to a whore is one flesh with the whore" . We end up with soul ties to the scum of the earth if we're not careful. I had soul ties to several women when I came to Jesus. By His power they are broken, and I am FREE. Married to one woman and serving one Lord, not my body.
Decide whether you want the temporary pleasures of sin or eternal life. God is waiting.
Additional:
Your body is to be the temple of the Lord, not the temple of whoremongers or whores. Defiling the body exposes one to uncleaness. The temple of God is to be holy.

Sex is a serious commitment. Their is a chance you can get hurt, emotionally and health related. At least with your husband, you know him and you know whether or not he has STD or is willing to commit to you. But with a hot random guy, you don't know for sure.
