Of course it is? How is that even debatable?
SIN is a religious concept. An offense against God or not following God's plans, will and/or truth.
To those who don't believe in a God then they don't really prescribe to there being "sin". There may be legal laws and crimes but they don't acknowledge sin.
So someone that acknowledges sin even exists would have to acknowledge pretty much every faith that speaks of sin speaks of sexual sin. Sex is for a husband and wife and sex outside of that is "fornication"
Anyone who says no probably is under the category of "I don't believe in God or that there are sins"
Anyone who says yes probably believes there is a God and that there is sin.

I used to think that when I was young, then when I actually experienced it, liked it and wanted it, I changed my stance. Same when it comes to having a partner. I would rather have a partner that has sexual experience over one that has zero.
My current girlfriend was a virgin and I wasn't. It was probably one of if not the biggest challenge in our relationship to overcome ranging from insecurity to teaching how sex would get us both off (our turn ons, no nos, etc.) Just a lot of work and communication.
Not something I would entertain again if we break up. Plus, if you wait until the honeymoon to bang and it turns into sexual incompatibility, then that would suck royally.

No haha, because I don't live in the 1600s with a bunch of Puritans. I also don't live in parts of the world where they make you wear a sack over you and only show your eyes and then literally kill you if you don't cover your face.

  I have high sex drive. I think I must check sexual compatability while dating before wedding. So that It will not be an issue after wedding.

  Yes sex is important in a relationship. If you marry someone and you're not compatible then that's not going to end well. You can't force sexual compatibility. The only people that think that sex will be good with any woman they marry are people who haven't ever had sex before.

  Exactly! Most people don't agree with it. Mostly religious people!

  Yes, I am a religious person too. I wanted to date seriously, marry and have sex. But it was hard to find a good match. It was hard to control my sexual urges. So I decided to break the rule and have sex before wedding.

Catholic girls are taught it is a sin to have sex before marriage. But try to get a guy to buy that one! They want their sex!

  Let's say I date, marry a girl and I have sex after wedding. What if she is not good in bed, has low sex drive? What if she refuses to have regular sex? I will never marry a sexually incompatible girl.

  Not everything is about sex tho sex is an important part but if u love the person then that will be the last thing you think about but that is for me other people ar different and i think that is a little sad some people think that sex is the main thing in a relationship and it is not

If a religion's lore says that sex before marriage costs some amount of hit points to one's soul then that's the rules of that particular game. One could avoid that damage by just not playing, but they have to quit entirely. Personally, I think because sex feels good for reasons we couldn't always explain, people who wanted to be the gatekeepers on good feeling threw it into the sin category to explain why it felt good and to stop people from doing it without permission from religious authority.

According to the Bible if a person engaged in premarital sex (in the old testament then they had to marry that person) and the man had to pay the father a certain amount of money for taking his daughter's virginity as punishment.
Having sex before marriage, I'm not going to say it's OK but the Bible does teaches to get married avoid whoring around.
I'm not saying it's wrong neither assuming you are going to marry that person.
The Bible certainly does teaches fornicating, which is jumping from person to person sexually is definitely sin though.

  Let me say this so that there's no misunderstanding.
  
  You're suppose to get married first to have sex according to 1 Corinthians 7 but if you happen to let lust take control and fell into temptation and you happened to engage in sex with a woman then you must marry her afterwards.
  
  You just can't move on to the next. You won't make a fool out of God.

I feel like it's generally a bad idea. Sin, not sure.
what's also a "sin" is finding out you are not compatible with the other person and suffering in hell, and God can't fix it.
There's two sides to this... adults that take responsibility. that is towards heaven...

As a Christian, I believe that sex is intended to be an expression of love between a male and female committed for life. Outside of that it falls short (which is the meaning of the word sin). Everyone falls short in many ways, and Christ offers forgiveness for all of it, so it's not like an unforgivable sin or anything like that.

  Practically, you can get a pretty good idea of sexual compatibility before marriage. Some premarital intimacy is necessary for this reason. Plus you can talk about it.

  I wanted to find a good girl and marry her. But I got rejected, some were not serious about marriage, some were playing hard to get. It was taking more time than I thought. So I decided to break the rules, I can't control my sexual urged anymore, I started having sex. I am enjoying it and I want more.

I don't believe in "sin".
I think promiscuity is a bad thing for society, but I also think waiting for marriage is a bad choice. Sexual compactivity is super important to a healthy, lasting marriage, so why would you leave it to chance.
Try before you buy.

yes, and clearly it's a mistake regardless of whether or not you believe in religious morality. Look how many lives are effed up by people banging out of marriage and getting pregnant. But people don't want to hear it because they're too busy living their carefree lives, doing whatever brings them carnal pleasure. Funnily enough, that's straight out of The Bible, which these people refuse to believe in. 🤣

“sin” is a fabrication of the religiously indoctrinated. It isn’t a real thing.

Well. Catholic pope confirmed hell doesn't exist, therefore are sins not punished with hell residence after death.

Well I think technically it's the sin of adultery but having sex with someone you plan to marry is probably less of a sin than having sex with another person's wife/husband or eating pork on a Saturday.

Nope, because sin isn't real. It's a concept used to control people.

It is a sin on main religion. Its not a "do you feel" thing, its a fact.
But religions are not real so there is no problem with pre-marriage sex lol

You need to have a victim in order for it to be a sin. Society likes to pretend it's a victim, but it's not.

  I know a woman your age, and she was divorced. All she wanted to do was fuck. Guys fell in love with her, and felt the need to text her over and over. She gave up and started cheating with married men. Even those men got too clingy.

  Okay, so this is what an Origin Story is: it's the background history of a character in a story. It explains the circumstances and events that shaped them into the person they have become today.
  
  From Wikipedia:
  "In entertainment, an origin story is an account or backstory revealing how a character or group of people become a protagonist or antagonist, and it adds to the overall interest and complexity of a narrative, often giving reasons for their intentions."
