No it is not.  It is called the sin of fornication.  That is what sex before marriage is called.  Certainly a true Christian would not be actively engaged in sex before marriage.  A true Christian, who made a mistake, would be repentant and try not to be doing it anymore.

Kindness and respect.  \n\nI think we have a responsibility to care for all animals with kindness and respect.  That includes the care and treatment of our pets as well as the care and protection of wildlife.  Although I often raise animals for meat, I believe that even an animal that is to be used for food should be treated with kindness and respect.  \n\nWhile I think that it is prudent to treat vegetable life with respect, I believe there is a difference.  Animals are living, breathing, thinking creatures.  They have relationships within their own social groups.  Many times within those groups other creatures rejoice in their birth, enjoy (and often share) their care, and mourn their passing.  Additionally, many of these creatures relate to us on terms we can appreciate and enjoy.  Therefore, they are valuable to others in their own group, as well as having value to us.  For that reason alone, their ability to "build" relationships, I feel we are ethically obligated to should show them kindness and respect them as living creatures.

When you're ready to have sex you are ready to have sex.  If it's before marriage, cool.  If you're not ready until marriage, that's cool too.\nI think sexy before marriage is a good thing.  People speak of how it's more special when you save it.  But honestly if you wait until you're married you're going to suck at it.  Not being able to please your spouse on your honeymooon (a very special occasion) would be a shame.  On the other hand, if both partners are inexperieced they'll at least have a chance to grow and learn about sex together.\nHowever, I think it would be foolish to marry a person you've never slept with.  Sex is a very big part of relationships and if you marry a person without knowing  whether or not they can please you sexually you may find yourself in a very dissatisfied marriage.\nJust think about this:  Would you buy a new car without ever giving it a test drive?

I have no idea. Personally I don't have a problem with sex before marriage as I would want to know what I was getting before I got married to a man for life. Not that sex is all a relationship is but I think it's an important part. I don't think you should sleep around indiscrimately regardless of being married or not though.

I don't think ALL religions consider pre-marital sex to be a sin. Scientology doesn't, paganism doesn't, hinduism doesn't and I don't think buddhism does either.

For more conservative catholics, they perceive that sex is made for procreation and not for recreation.  So its a no-no for them to engage in pre-marital sex.  They believe that sex is a union of two people whom God have put together. Sex is considered sacred and must be initiate when you have undergone the sacrament of marriage.\n\nBut for my personal opinion, i wouldn't consider it a sin as long as you do it with someone you love and who loves you back. I think you won't violate any rules as long as both person's who engage in this wonderful act has really true connections spiritually and emotionally.

dear mohammad i don't know where do you live,i guess you are in west,but your name says that you are muslim .i am muslim girl .in islam girl shouldn't have sex before marriage.of course we feel love and romance but our religion and traditions protects us from falling.it's a great protection for the girl and for her husband in the future who will be happy to be the first man touching her and will feel happy that this woman will bring up his children.and believe me this is not only in islam but also in christianity.the christ and the holy bible order people to stay away from sex without marriage but these morals have changed in the west due to ideas of liberity.liberity is very important for everybody but it doesn't mean making sins.God bless you daer friend and your future wife and protect your children from her.

"t seems to me that people who don't believe in God, should have no problem with that kind of behavior."\n\nThis sounds like you're saying that if God didn't tell you "no, no, dear child, don't have sex with animals" that you'd think it was fine and dandy.\n\nThis is so patently stew-pid an argument, you must be a loyal watcher of Fox "News" channel.\n\n\nEDIT FOR ADDITION:  Awww, aren't you cute?  OK then.  Expanding the definition of marriage to include single-sex couples would both be a benefit to the individuals involved AND to society.  There is ample evidence that people who live in stable, committed couples are healthier, happier, and wealthier than those who are single. Gay marriage is a good idea because it will benefit not only the gay couple but their families, friends, neighbors, and taxpayers whose burdens to care for the gay partners singly would be greater.\n\nSex with animals would NOT benefit society. And I dare say it wouldn't benefit the animal part of that practice.\n\nBeastiality and gay marriage present very different issues. Each should be evaluated on its own, not treated as if one is a necessary extension of the other.\n\nAnd there's this wonderful thing called ethics, which is a way to determine if something is right or wrong *without divine authority*.  It works quite well.

you got it. Its a cultural thing. Its a sin to indulge in pre marital sex. for 18 or more years they are told its wrong to have sex before marriage. You cannot convince them over a few months to change such an instilled value. Unless they agree on their own. And don't you dare go on forcing yourself on them because its not your right to do so.

I think anything has time and sex is good after marriage... it make you more secure and has more meaning into it.\nmarriage as a "fortress for well-being", the normal and healthy state for adults, where sexual feelings can be safely expressed in a spirit of love. ... are expected to be completely chaste before marriage and totally faithful within marriage

Personally I think it is wrong. It is something so personal that it should only be shared with your husband/wife. I think having sex before marriage only leads to complications and jealousy

Problem is deeper. It's a Phylosofical problem (usually are not practic). Condom is not the problem, but behavior is.\n\nYou are not allowed to do sex before marriage. \nOnce married you are not allowed to have sex relations with other person. \nAnd MOST important of all: When you do sex, you do to have children and not to have pleasure. After 60's Pope told that having pleasure during the sex is not sin. ... since you are respecting all rules above. \n\nThese are main rules and as a Catholic, you cannot avoid it. If Catholic church allow to use condom, it means that they allow to do those wrong things too. \n\nIt's just a matter of Ethics and cause and consequence about rules. Religion cannot be flexible as moral is. Change this concept means change part of what has been teach during so long time .... and it has consequences.

It's totally relative. I don't think that there's anything wrong with having pre-marital sex if the context around it is right. There's no way for us to know what God thinks about it. Some religious people would think that it was alright if it was in the context of a loving and caring relationship and birth control were used. Others would say that it is a terrible sin and that we shouldn't even use birth control. What could possibly make one of these views more valid then the rest? I think that a lot of people would think that at 17 you are ready to make a responsible decision about sex and I am one of these people. If you think that you are going to feel guilty about it then don't do it. If you think that you love her and it will help you express your love, then consider it.

I do because there are more chances that a relationship will last a lot longer for sex to come after marriage than for marriage to come after sex. To build a relationship you have to know what the foundation is made out of. Some choose sex to be the foundation of a relationship and some choose love as their foundation. Sex and love are two separate things and should NEVER be looked upon as an equal. Some people are too stubborn to realize that sex is suppose to be something done out of love; (if any is envolved) not the other way around. Chances are very good that if a person views sex as a foundation to a relationship, he/she wasn't looking for one in the first place. People often forget what marriage is these days. In most traditional marriages there's a line that says "for better or for worse"; if someone is gonna treat the other like some kind of merchandise such as a car or whatever and they have this mentality that they have to "try" someone out before marriage, they don't have any business getting married. Basically if this happens what that person is saying is that they don't love you, they're just gonna use you as temporary usage and if he/she doesn't like what's been provided, that person is gonna be stashed away. That is what's gonna happen when sex becomes before marriage.

Sex in marriage is a must, before that, NO!\n\nOut of marriage, sex is just an instinct full get together used to fulfill your passions or desires. You just do the body thing, get filled up, and that's all. Sex should not take place before marriage.\n\nIn marriege, sex complements the relation, helps the couple to get deeper feelings, respect, and all those kind of stuff.
