I know that the ten commandments say you should keep marriage holy and all that, but where does it say no sex before marriage?

Fornication is sex before marriage.
1Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Galations 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

The Bible IS NOT a Book of "Can't have this; Can't have that"
The Bible is a Book of PRINCIPLES where MANY TIMES the Reader needs 2 Use Discernment and Read BETWEEN THE LINES !
The Bible DOES SAY 2 Abstain from FORNICATION; which is defined by MANY Bible Dictionary's as PRE-Marital Sex
AND the Bible says that "he that commits Fornication is SINNING AGAINST ONES OWN BODY"
The Bible also says to "FLEE From Fornication"; just like Joseph did with Potifor's Wife !

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
Song of Solomon 2:7
Read Song of Solomon. It's a very steamy book of two lovers in the Bible--but they're married. God's purpose for sex is very clear: one man and one woman united in marriage. In Genesis, Adam and Eve are told to be fruitful and increase in number. If you read the Scriptures, you'll see examples of a man and his wife who come together and have sex, and it's beautiful. There's also examples of people having sex outside of their marriages, and it almost destroys their lives and their families. (Abraham with Hagar, David and Bathsheba, etc.)

Adultery is having sex with someone you are not married to , and also has a close definition to fornication . There are MANY scriptures that say that adultery is a sin .
Matt 5:27-28
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
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.
(KJV)
Matt 19:18
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
(KJV)
Gal 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
(KJV)

Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
I personally do not want to be with someone who has been with any and everyone. I want a clean man, not sloppy 2nds.

It does not say it anywhere in the Bible that you can't have premarital sex. However, God asks you to keep your body pure from sexual immorality. Sex is a gift of God to married couple.
Read 1 Cor 6:12-

The new testement actually encourages not having sex at all. The old testement does not technicly forbid premarital sex but Jewish sages have forbid premarital sex so women would not be accused of being whores.

numerous places, but not many people will admit it. go to any bible-based website and type ''fornication'' in the search bar. that's what it's called in the bible. try this one:

Ac 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
