Yes, until you are married it is a sin.

Yes of course it is! If you are not married.
This word 'sin' had me puzzled for ages, (still does)!!!
I thought I wold never need to look it up, I was convinced it meant 'The description of an act breaking a religious law'!
I was content with that because I know all religion is a very large heap of cr*p, so this didn't affect me at all!!
I then discovered it not only described an act against religious law but 'moral' law also???
What a stupid definition, I am atheist but I do have morals, sex before marriage is no sin to me ( if it's consensual) .
We all have our own idea of what is is 'moral' and what is immoral, (except religious folk of course it's all spelled out for them in little holy books, they must accept those definitions)! If they dont then there is some one 'up there' watching and taking notes, if you hang washing out on a Sunday it is noted . Do it 3 times in your life and you will burn in hell for ever!!! And serves you right!!!! Sinner!!!!
Were Adam and Eve married? Did they have sex??? Did they have morals?
Yes the more I think about it the more sinful it seems to be, all Adam did was take a bite out of an apple, now if that was a sin then sex certainly is.
So stop it, the lot of you!! I now feel guilty even by trying to communicate with you all!
I deserve to be punished, so I will now adjourn to my local pub and tell them they are all sinners, they will fill my face in with fists, I will be cleansed, I will also be banned from the pub (again) but it serves me right!

Sex before marriage is indeed considered a sin. The reasons for that should be apparent. Throughout the world, unwed mothers find it very difficult to provide an emotionally, financially, and stable home for their children. I am not saying that this is universally the case, but it is extremely difficult to do. Social statistics support this and indicate all of the social ills that branch off from children born out of wedlock.

It is. If you are so sure you are going to marry the person then why not wait until then?
Edit: a lot of thumbs down here. I just want to point out to everyone who is saying "It isn't a sin" that you are injecting an opinion into a question with an objective answer. The asker wants to know if it is a sin. That seems to indicate he is already familiar with a religion and the idea of sin. He's asking if it's still a sin when qualified by love. The only correct answer in this context is "Yes."
You may not think it's a sin but most religions do and that's what he's asking since he is the one who mentioned "sin." So any answer other than "Yes" is wrong objectively, theologically, and concretely.

Do you really think a God would give young people such high sex drives, and not enough emotional maturity to get into a stable, lasting marriage just to be cruel? It is nature. It is healthy as long as you are respectful and responsible about it. What is not healthy is suppressing and/or denying your nature because someone else wants to control you with theology.

It's a sin if you have intercourse BEFORE you are married. God's arrangement is that sexual intimacy is something to be enjoyed by a MARRIED couple, not a dating couple.
People with no sense of morality will be the ones saying "no, it's not a sin", but if you are a person who has some sense of abiding by Bible standards, the Bible is very clear that any sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin.

DUDE! What century are you living man. This is the freaking 2007. Religion should not be applied in every situation REGARDLESS of the level of devotion.
And if you're just asking this question out of pure sh*ts and giggles, then disregard my semi-insulting tone.

There is no sin.
As long as you both consent, are honest with each other, communicate clearly, and take precautions (condoms, condoms condoms!) then there's not a thing wrong with it. But it's a big decision, and not one to enter into lightly, especially if you are underage. Wait until you are eighteen, and take some time to get to know yourself before becoming sexually active.
Sin is a human invention. Sex was created by the Gods.

Matthew 5:27-30 (NKJV)
27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.'
28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

No it is not a sin. But that doesn't mean you should have sex with your partner....if you are young....you might find love 100 times! Wait until you are emotionally ready for SEX.....its not all its cracked up to be if you're not ready emotionally.
Be safe and be smart!!!

If you have sexual intecourse without God in the mix it is sinful. If you and God and the other person are bonded in a relationship we will call Love/Marriage, then it is good.
1x1x1=1 is the equation
(1)man, (1)woman, (1)God equals marriage. All else is just lust. I am not talking about a piece of paper here. I am talking about a spiritual commitment.
