OMG!!! You know what? I am just never going to have sex at all. Sex is such a complicated thing. Even after marriage, I'm just never going to do it. Not for religious reasons. But because it just seems like it makes things more complicated than they need to be. Relationships are hard enough as it is, why bring in sex to make it worse?
I'm lucky I have never had sex before.
I don't know about the rest of you who don't believe that premarital sex is a sin, but I'm just not going to take my chances with sex at any point. You all can do what you want. Celibacy just seems simpler to me.

Okay, let's just put it like this:

If premarital sex with a person you love and plan to marry is a sin, and assuming you are a born again Christian (meaning you have accepted Christ as your Saviour), it's not like you will be sent to Hell for it. Yes, you should avoid sinning against God, but it happens because we are human and God knows we are imperfect. As long as you are saved and assuming that premarital sex is a sin in any case, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HELL!!! Saved people do not go to Hell. God does not revoke your Salvation. The only unpardonable sin is the sin of rejecting Christ.
Christ died for our sins why? Because we all sin!
So to settle this; those of you who believe that any form of premarital sex, regardless of circumstance, is a sin, don't have premarital sex! Simple as that.
And if you do NOT believe it is a sin under the circumstance that you are in love and committed, go ahead and have at it.
It's all a matter of personal interpretation and choice.
Yes, there is a wrong answer, but it has become very clear to me that we don't know what the wrong answer is.
So with that, follow your personal beliefs and I guess someday, we will all find out for sure.
In the meantime, don't judge people who have premarital sex or fornicate, or commit ANY sin for that matter.
Jesus DID say "He who is without sin, cast the first stone" (basically saying that nobody is without sin, and thus nobody should throw stones, THAT is quite clear).

Consider this; Marriage is simply paperwork and legal documents that makes a relationship official. It is a contract! And you are granted a marriage license.
So basically, you are signing a contract not written by God, but man. And you are given a marriage license by man. Essentially, man is telling you when it is okay to have sex and it has nothing to do with love at all. It has to do with forms, updating your tax info, signatures, and paperwork.
And if you like having sex with multiple partners but don't want to commit to the sin of fornication you can simply go to Las Vegas and get married, have sex, and then get divorced in Vegas, and do it all over again. Can you consider that promiscuity or no? Is it okay since the sex happens during marriage? Is that better than spending 2 years with someone without having sex, getting engaged, and then having sex maybe a month before the marriage? I sure as heck don't think so!
At least most of us Christians who don't believe that premarital sex is a sin wait until with are in love and close to someone. We aren't going out and having sex with random strangers.
The Bible was written many many centuries ago back when marriage was still honored as a lifetime commitment. In modern times it isn't the same and we must think critically about this. It is good to follow The Bible, but with the way things change, we must adapt to the changes and decide for ourselves at what point premarital sex is considered fornicating.
To me, it is a sin to have sex with someone before you are serious about them and before you express serious intentions to marry.
Personally, I am in no rush to have sex. If my partner decides to wait until marriage, I am perfectly fine with waiting.

I agree that premarital sex is not fornication. I'm 21 and still a virgin and I am not about go to jump into bed with the next girl I go on a few dates with.
Before I get into personal beliefs, let me bring up a point of fact.
Marriage these days is not honored as something permanent. I recall one person saying that if you get engaged have sex and then break up, and then it happens again with someone else it's the same thing as being promiscuous. Well, how about when you wait until marriage, then have sex and get divorced a few years later and THAT happens again a few times? Is it only okay if you have signed papers that makes a relationship legal status? I mean, it is pretty easy to get a divorce these days. So how does sex inside or outside marriage even matter? It sounds to me that most of you Christians who are against premarital sex, judging by what you have said AND considering that marriage is no more permanent than engagement (it just takes paperwork and a court to breakup) that nobody should ever have sex EVER regardless of marital status because marriage isn't truly permanent anymore. And if you think so, then I guess humans should cease all forms of sexual reproduction and reproduce using labs, beakers, and test tubes. Or would that be a sin as well? (I know that some Christians would think so) If so, then let's just let the human race die off in the name of our Lord and Saviour! Amen.

As for personal beliefs, I think it is important to wait before having sex. I would rather wait until I am serious about the person I am with. If you truly love the person you are with, you both have talked about spending a lifetime together SERIOUSLY, and you are both emotionally close and you respect each other, than it is fine to become intimate with the person. It can help two people who love each other become closer and bond more.
Sex should only be done out of love (or reproduction). If you do it strictly because you think someone is "smokin' hot" or you just like how it feels, then that can lead to sexual promiscuity because you are doing it for the wrong reasons.
I would never have sex with someone if I had only been with them for a month. I would want to wait a while and grow emotionally with the person, otherwise there is nothing special about the intimacy.
