I can't believe you are seriously asking this question, but the answer is no.

Mormons, as Christians, believe in the Bible which states clearly in the ten commandments : Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. So, no--Sex outside of marriage is not okay.

It's actually the opposite.
The typical Mormon is against sex outside of marriage.
To Imasis - I am one of those LDS teens (19) that you speak of, and I have many, many friends my age who are also LDS, and NONE of us condone sex outside of marriage. Are we all lying just so we can "look good"? Come on now...Why is it necessary to say things that simply are not true to try and give people the wrong idea?

No. We have to follow the Law of Chastity and be as chaste as we can. This includes: no sex before marriage (even if it's with your long time boyfriend/girlfriend or fiancee), NO sex with someone other than your wife/husband, no masturbation, no porn, no showing too much of your body (dress up in a modest way and don't show too much), and even the things you talk.. don't speak R-rated things, bad words, curing words, etc.. So the answer is NONONONO overall

No. This is proven by the fact that Mormons marry and have serious relationships. In society it is now acceptable to have a one night stand or just live with someone and marry after 30. LDS couples have just as much sex drive as every one else, they just handle it the old fashioned way, and marry.

NO, infact sex outside of marriage is very much a big no-no. That is a very serious sin and should not be taken lightly. Of course, because of the atonement, we can repent. BUT, "repenting later" is not an excuse or permission to do something wrong.

do you mean a typical mormon you find on the street or a typical mormon that is a functioning member of the church? Yes and no

no.
A few years ago the Church issued a proclamation entitled Family. Here's a link. It's a great source to help understand Mormon's views on families
