Fornication: Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.\n\nAdultery: Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person other than the lawful spouse.\n\nIt doesn't matter that you aren't married to someone else; you're f***ing someone who is. You are therefore committing fornication and adultery - she's sinning, yes, but so are you. There's no loophole.

As a Baptist I see nothing wrong. Please specify denomination. Some do and some don't. God cares  about premarital sex because the emotional baggage it brings to marriage. Marriage is sanctimonious.

Some use the terms interchangeably. Some differentiate, celibacy meaning no sex with a partner and abstinence meaning no sex at all. Celibacy sounds like a better deal.

Conservatives, believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin, even thinking about sex outside of a marriage is considered a sin. Most modern religions are OK with enjoying sex, as long as it's in a marriage. Some more traditional religions sill believe that sex is only for procreation. But most of them even say you can enjoy it. \n\nSome old fashion people were taught that sex is something to be ashamed of.\n\nBut i think the biggest thing with porn is that it's a sin or it represents sins being acted on. Even religions that have nothing against masturbation, still believe that sex is something that should only be practiced with your spouse or by yourself, behind closed doors. Not with any items that represent sinful sex.

Yes, it is called fornication. You can fornicate with yourself, which is sin against yourself. Corinthians teaches that it is better to marry than to burn with passion. \n1 Corinthians 7:9\nBut if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.\n\nI Thessalonians 4:3-5:\n"For God wants you to be holy and pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin so that each of you will marry in holiness and honor--not in lustful passion as the heathen do, in their ignorance of God and his ways."\n\nMatt 5:28\nI tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.\n\nImpure thoughts can lead to impure acts such as mast***ation. Having lustful thoughts is a sin. \n\nPhilippians 4:8 says that we are supposed to think about good, truthful things. Lust is not good and imagining sex in your mind is not a truth. \n\nPhil 4:8 \nFinally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

In heaven, we aren't married or given in marriage anymore.  So, neither of you would be "with" her in the sense of being married to her.  That's one reason why, in marriage vows, we say "till death do us part".  Death severs that relationship permanently.  You'll still know and love each other when you get to heaven, but not in a romantic or sexual way anymore.  No one will.

I'm going to take a guess here since I can't be sure what a buch of ***'s refer to. Here are the precepts that can be gleaned from the Bible regarding sexual practices between married couples.\n\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - What Does the Bible Say?\nCouples often ask, "Is oral sex a sin?" The best place to look for answers is in the Bible. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." The first point the Bible makes very clear is that sex - all types - is designed specifically for married couples. Non-married couples are not to practice premarital sex. \n\nThe Bible never indicates exactly what a husband and wife are allowed to do in their sexual relationship. However, there are some sexual principles that we can consider. \n\n\n\nMutual Consent - 1 Corinthians 7:5 says, "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." This verse indicates that each sexual activity should be mutually agreed upon. \n\n\nAdultery is Sin - The Bible is very clear that any form of adultery is sin, even if both people in a marriage relationship agree to it. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God." Adultery also includes "swapping" or adding sexual partners. \n\nViewing Pornography is a Sin - Matthew 5:28 is very clear. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Pornography viewed alone or together as a couple is sin. 1 John 2:16 says, "For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Practical Application\nWhen answering the question "Is oral sex a sin," it is important to remember that God created sex to be a beautiful expression of love for married couples. When the husband or the wife does not feel that sex is a "beautiful expression of love," then changes need to be made in that couple's sex life. Evidentially, the actions are not mutually beneficial to each person. Nothing in the Bible says that oral sex is a sin, however it may not be appropriate for every couple. \n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Questions to Consider\nConsider these questions when answering the question "Is oral sex a sin?"\n\nIs oral sex voluntary and have both the husband and wife agreed to it?\n\n\nWhy do you want oral sex? Is it for pure sexual pleasure or is it to fulfill a sexual fantasy derived from porn?\n\n\nHave you or your spouse been convicted by the Holy Spirit that oral sex is wrong?\n\n\nDoes oral sex edify and fulfill both you and your spouse?\nWhile answering these questions, pray for guidance from God. He will reveal the answer to you - for your relationship. \n\nhttp://www.allaboutgod.com/is-oral-sex-a-sin.htm

Looking over the definitions, both would be acceptable.  Celibate would be the one that would stand out since you are unmarried.\n\nBy the way CONTINENCE is the synomym for ABSTINENCE in regards to sexual activity.  \n\ncel‧i‧bate   Pronunciation[sel-uh-bit, -beyt]  –noun \n1. a person who abstains from sexual relations.  \n2. a person who remains unmarried, esp. for religious reasons.  \n–adjective 3. observing or pertaining to sexual abstention or a religious vow not to marry.  \n4. not married. \nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=celibate\n\n\ncon‧ti‧nence  Pronunciation[kon-tn-uhns] \n–noun 1. self-restraint or abstinence, esp. in regard to sexual activity; temperance; moderation.  \n2.

<>The word you are looking for is "fornication."  It means to perform the sexual act of procreation.  The origin of the "f---" word is rife with myth and lore.  One version is that it comes from an acronym of "fornication under carnal knowledge," a description of a crime of adultery.

Actually, you are not biblically an adulterous, the Bible does allow for divorce in certain circumstances.\n\nAnd even if you were .... would you go to church and wear a big t-shirt that professed you were an adulterer and demand that everyone accept it?  Would you ask that the church teach the adulterous "lifestyle" to it's children in order to promote more understanding between those who are not adulterous and those who are?\n\nWould you ask to be the leader of the church?\n\nThat's the problem the church has with homosexuals.  Most who sin do so as privately as possible and would never ask that others accept their sin as a part of their nature.  But homosexuals ask that very thing.  This is really the reason why they are not accepted into the church.\n\nBut be a Christian and gay?  Sure, everybody sins, Jesus loves 'em all anyway!

There is a difference between an act and a lifestyle.  \n\nIt's the lifestyle that is condemned on all counts (liars, thieves, drunkards, etc.).  \n\nYou could be homosexual and be sexually pure by abstaining, like Christian heterosexual singles do (should do according to the scriptures), and be fine.  \n\nYou have two opposing thoughts posted, so it's hard to tell whether you're for or against it.  God's grace covers sins we turn from.  One cannot commit to a lifestyle and simultaneously turn from it.  Everyone has some sin or temptation they struggle with and must turn to God to deliver them from. No one is singled out.

No, I don't think it is the same thing. Though very unlikely that you would only have an oral encounter and not sex. I think there must be penetration in order to be counted as actual sex referring to intercourse. Now there are sexual acts that includes oral and such but it would not be correct to say you had "sex' with them. Virgins would not loose their virginity by fellatio or cunnilingus.\n\nThe key is the penetration being present or not to define actual sex.

When I was still a ministering among the misbelievers I frequently noted how often demonstrative revulsion toward a particular "sin" was how a person masked their fascination and obsession with it. Someone who vehemently railed against "fornication" was either fornicating at every opportunity,  were waiting for the opportunity to fornicate, or were actively trying to create scenarios ("making provisions for the flesh") in which they could engage in fornication and delude themselves and/or others they'd simply been caught in a weak moment. It never seemed that those who had relatively healthy sex lives had any interest in or concern over someone's else's sex life and whether or ot it was perverse. And while they'd acknowledge that "the Bibles says homosexuality is a sin", no married couple with a healthy sexual relationship ever seemed to think gay marriage actually threatened their own marriage in any way. More often than not deep, prayerful and continuous  concern about sexual sin in the world was something that manifested pretty exclusively in those whose sex lives were unsatisfactory in some way.

Pornography is compared to Adultery(fornication) in Islam..and it is considered a sin and one should repent from it.....Why is it compared or alike? Because when u see porn, it may open a door to fall into adultery

Personally I don't think so. M@sturbation helps a person find things out about themselves, male or female. I would say around 98% of the population of people in the world have m@sturbated at least once in their lives even if they say they don't. They are usually the ones that do it the most. M@sturbation becomes a problem if it starts interfering with your daily life. <Example: You m@sturbate when you know you'll be late for work.>\n\nBut on the other hand it feels good and relieves tension. At least for a little while. Now if you souly m@sturbate because you want sex this could lead to depresson because instead of going out and finding a good girlfriend that would treat you right and give you sex when SHE chooses. Instead you're at home m@sturbating.\n\nFrom a Christianity stand point I think that it is believed as wrong because for a few reasons. \n1. Lust is a sin, wheather you do it physically or in your mind.\n \n2. It can be seen as a type of fornication.\n\n3. If you're married and m@sturbate you are still lusting and commiting adultry in your mind if you're watching porn or thinking of that hot chick in your office. \n\nI believe it all comes down to you. You know what you believe and you know what your morals are. Ethics and morals go hand and hand. \n\nHere is the defintion of ethics.\n *Noun*\n(A set of principles of right conduct.)\n\nHere's the defintion of morals.\n *Adj*\n(Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior; virtuous)\n\nor\n\n *Noun*\n(Rules or habits of conduct, especially of sexual conduct, with reference to standards of right and wrong)\n\nI hope this clears some things up for you. I'm still working on the same question for myself.
