Starting with Leviticus chapter 18, it will give a lot of material for discussion. These are the laws of sexual morality that were given first to the Israelis, and they are also meant for us.

1 Corinthians 6: 9 - 11 ...Fornicators, adulterers, men who lie with men, men who use the flesh unnaturally will not inherit God's kingdom...
Exodus 20: 14 ...You must not commit adultery..
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..
While sexuality is a gift from God, it is not to be expressed without restraint. This principle applies even within the marriage arrangement. (Ephesians 5:28-30; 1 Peter 3:1, 7) Outside of marriage, sexual relations are forbidden. The Bible is quite specific on this matter. In the Law that God gave to the nation of Israel, it was stated: “You must not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14) Later, Jesus included “fornications” and “adulteries” with the “injurious reasonings” that originate in the heart and defile a person.
(Mark 7:21, 22) The apostle Paul was inspired to admonish the Christians in Corinth: “Flee from fornication.”
(1 Corinthians 6:18) And in his letter to the Hebrews, Paul wrote: “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.”—Hebrews 13:4.
What is meant by the word “fornication”? It comes from the Greek word por·nei´a, which is sometimes used to apply to sexual relations between unmarried people. (1 Corinthians 6:9) Elsewhere, such as at Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, the term is broader in meaning and refers additionally to adultery, incest, and bestiality. Other sexual practices between individuals not married to each other, such as oral and anal sex and the sexual manipulation of another person’s genitalia, can also be designated as por·nei´a. All such practices are condemned—either explicitly or by implication—in God’s Word.—Leviticus 20:10, 13, 15, 16; Romans 1:24, 26, 27, 32.
I hope this has helped. Time for you to attain accurate knowledge on your own, you know?

There are many, many scriptures in the Bible relating to sex and sexual sin.
Since there are too many to list, I will give you the name of the best study Bible I've ever found.
It's called Life Application Bible ~ New Internation Version.
If you have a specific question relating to sex and you would like to know what the Bible says about it, I would be happy to research it for you.

Sex and sexuality are mentioned many times in the Bible, sometimes in great detail. One of the Ten Commandments is: "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and another one is (in part) "Thou shat not covet thy neighbor's wife." There is also of course the condemnation of prostitution, fornication, homosexuality, etc.
The writers of the Bible, like those who wrote the sacred writings of most religions, took advantage of their authority to impose their own sexual insecurities and bigotries upon their followers.
Do a web search for some of the terms I used above. Better yet, do a search at www.bible.com. And don't forget "The Song of Solomon" (better known just as "the book of Solomon). It has references to downright hot sex, and if it weren't in the Bible it would no doubt have been banned by many societies in history, including Boston.

The Bible does not use the word sex, it uses the word "know".
And so Adam knew Eve, and Eve begat Cain... that sort of thing.
So in the Bible you know and begat, and so it came to pass there was a lot of knowing and begatting.
The first answerer is using some modern-day drugged-up hip-hop version of the Bible. The King James Version does not say "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to have sex with us, as is the custom all over the earth. " It says "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come to us after the manner of all the earth..." It does not use the word "sex". His version of the Bible is for shallow people who need it spelled out in the lowest common denominator.
What can I say...

There are free sites that have the entire Bible in searchable format. Search on the words that you feel refer to sex (you could even try "sex," but if it's there, it's probably used more to refer to gender). The Song of Solomon is one long love poem, really. There's a lot of things about harlots and the like. And that thing about Abraham being seduced by his daughters. Jezebel, and Bathsheba, and Salome: lots of wicked women, at the very least.

Golly, dear heart, if there's one thing the Christian bible has a lot of, it's sex. The old in-and-out was at the top of the agenda amongst those Bronze Age desert nomads whose god the Christians adopted as their own. It's like Henry Miller with a halo!

There is a lot of sex in the Bible.
In the story of Lot for example, the men of one particular town were gay and wanted to have sex with the big, strong, handsome Angels who had come to talk with the prophet, Lot. The town was destroyed.
In the story of Abraham, his wife cannot conceive so he has sex with a slave girl. She has an illegitimate son.
In the story of Jacob, he is in love with his cousin, who is gorgeous; his uncle makes him marry her sister first to get to the one he wants. This is incest of course...sex with your cousin.
In the story of Samson, Samson has a fondness for harlots....
In the Song of Solomon, the Queen of Sheba tells of her great erotic love for King Solomon, who of course, in the Bible has literally hundreds of wives and concubines...
And, of course, one of the great characters of the bible is the Whore of Babylon!

Sex is never mentioned in the bible.... Neither is homosexuality... but the religious nut jobs have sure grabbed onto both of those topics, and are twisting them for all they are worth...
