He does not actually punish you.
Are you ashamed to be seen or something?
You said yourself that humans perform "immoral, sexually explicit acts" and especially unmarried couples.
What is wrong with married couples performing sexually explicit acts?
God created sex.
He meant for it to be an expression of love between two people who are married.
Outside of marriage, you can get diseases. Who would want to take the risk of contracting something?
If you think all sex is wrong, you are sadly mistaken. That is what your post sounds like.

Yes - sex outside of marriage IS a sin. God made that quite clear.
Furthermore, you can see the results of others who have sinned, such as King David when he committed adultery with Bathsheba, then committed murder when he found out she was pregnant, by having her husband put on the front line of battle where he would be killed.
The Bible doesn't gloss over the sins of the people, but tells the truth about these events.
Furthermore, there really IS such a thing as STDs that is the natural consequence of sex with more than one partner outside the confines of marriage.

When we disobey God we are punishing ourselves. If we truly are servant of God then we try really hard not to disobey him. If we do and we will at one point in our life we are human. The feeling that we get knowing that we dishonored our Father is far greater than being beat by a human.
Walk, talk, understand, teach people bout our God and when your close to him you will know what I'm talking about.
if you respect your parents and you let them down... you know the feeling you get? That is 3 times greater when you disobey God. God Bless

GOD will punish those who have sex out of marriage. Especially people in magazine and films (porn) and rapists and molesters.
He will punish them while they are still in this life. Those people will catch a disease/virus.
GOD is most merciful. If you are truly sorry for your sins and you do pray to ask GOD for his forgiveness, HE will know what is true by looking at the heart of your soul. HE will forgive you.

Yes, I'm sure He thinks it's wrong since the bible forbids fornication and that's what sex outside of marriage is. I think if you did it in the past and repented, He wouldn't punish you but if you know it's wrong and continue to do it, then I think He would. That's my opinion.

Non-Christians always expect a punishment to be immediate and, as one of them said, a lightening bolt, or something of that nature. The Bible assures us we will reap what we sow. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or even next month, but we will reap what we sow unless we repent and turn away from sin.
Maybe 10 years from now, after married, your spouse will cheat on you. May not think of it at the time as punishment for your previous sin, but it is......

Not necessarily immediately, but yes ... they are just among the many sins the people have committed. Of course, today with so many STDs out there sometimes the consequences arrive without any help from God ...

There are consequences for almost anything you do outside of God's will. Having sex outside of marriage can lead to STDs, unwanted pregnancy and general heartbreak. God gives us rules because he cares about us and wants what's best for us, not to punish us.

What do you call the rampant spread of AIDS and HIV? Teenage pregnancy and the reprecussions thereof? For every action there is a reaction and there is a consequence for each act.

The idea of God " punishing" is a distortion.
I don't believe that God inflicts punishment on us.... I believe He allows us to make our own choices and then also allows us to deal with whatever consequences those choices come with.
