Because God is afraid of vagina's. I mean, he didn't even impregnate Mary through one. Come on.

Obedience requires that sex be reserved for one?s spouse. I Corinthians 6:18 states that we should flee from sexual immorality,That is, do not have sex with someone who is not your spouse.

The way that we see it is: imagine that you are a sheet of white paper. Having sex is like gluing yourself to someone Else's paper. Then, if you break up, you are tearing your piece of paper away from the other one, and what happens then? The paper tears a little. Sex is the closest that two people can get emotionally, physically, and spiritually. When you have sex, you are giving a piece of your spiritual heart away that you will not get back (theoretically... keep reading). If you keep giving your heart away, what are you gonna have left for your spouse on your wedding day? Not much. That's where God comes in. If you give your life to him, he takes your messed up, torn sheet of paper, and glues it to him, a brand new white sheet of paper, and he makes you whole, and like a virgin again. And let me tell you, it's impossible to rip Jesus.

Well they can and do. We have all that you need to have sex you know ;-)

Its consider the sin of lust. You cheaply the resulting marriage. Marriage is a very sacred thing to catholics. The union of a man and woman is considered by the church an epitome of expressing love. God made Eve for Adam. Catholics value humility and restraint.

Christian Roman Catholic

Because sex is good, and thus it is taboo in Christianity

1 - because God said so.
2 - It can lead to a hundred personal problems.
3 - because allowing sex before marriage identifies a person's character as totally SELFISH.

If they are this selfish before marriage, they will be this selfish INSIDE of marriage.
