Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Fornication, or simple fornication, is a term which refers to consensual sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other[1]. In contrast adultery is consensual sex where one or both of the partners are married to someone else.

Corinthians "the marriage bed shall not be defiled" and Paul also wrote you should contain your desires. This is what many Christians talk about.

About this Paul talked much:
I Timothy 1:9, as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; 11according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
I Thessalonians 4:3, For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; 4that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; 6that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. 7For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 8Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you. (ASV)
The portion in the above verse 6, "that no man transgress and wrong his brother" has to do with wronging someone by robbing them of their virginity and thereby preventing an honorable marriage.
It is obvious even from Mary and Joseph's account and Israelite law that stoning was common in Israel for those that did such. Joseph wanted to end the engagement silently so as to not hurt Mary.
If you have fallen into sin, marry and fix the problem. If you marry after having done it, you are in the company of a great many.
