Yes, it's okay. The whole idea of waiting until marriage is admirable, but completely awkward when you think about it. I support friends who choose to wait, but I didn't. I don't regret my decisions either.

definitely not. i'll never forget the time my mom told me "Darling, you won't understand this now, but never ever marry someone if they're the only person that you've had sex with. Otherwise, you won't know what's out there!" She and my dad are still happily married :)

Sex is more than a physical act. There is an emotional/spiritual bond that happens too. @zenmb described it well. When there is a lack of commitment between two people (whether married or not) and that emotional/spiritual bond is ripped apart, it causes tremendous pain. So whether a sin or not, and whether married or not, sex is best reserved for committed couples: one man, one woman, one lifetime. IMHO

depending on the circumstances- it might not be the best idea, say if the couple in love are very young or if they don't fully understand the possible consequences but a sin? never a sin. love and the physical expression of love is one of the most beautiful things we humans can do to celebrate our spirituality... love making is not only for the creation of a baby but also can be the closest physical expression of unity and oneness- no wonder we all long to become one with another, to be whole- two halves that complete a whole- this is the essence of spirituality however, unfortunately it can be twisted and perverted and become the opposite of wholeness...definately both parties should be of age and willing participants (ie- not having to be convinced into it) guilt and shame should never be put on our normal and natural feelings and desires

Sex is okay if you're ready. If you think you're emotionally and physically mature, then, have at it.

It's absolutely okay, as long as you're careful. Personally, I'd like to be in a committed relationship first.
