it says it in Scripture (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). (Hebrews 13:4). try these places in a bible or just type them up on google.

Abstaining from something means to go without it. Abstaining from sex was never a part of the God plan for humanity, or else he would not have given us the parts. By the way, evolution cannot explain why the human female is the only female in the animal kingdom that has the ability to orgasm from both intercourse and clitoral stimulation. Pretty cool, eh! Sex is meant for enjoyment and procreation (making babies) according to the Bible God wants faithfulness and purity to accompany sex in a commited and stable relationship of marriage in which each partner loves and respects the other as equal partners and will not use or cheat on each other. The metaphor for Christ and His followers parallels marriage between man and woman. Both are to be one in unity and function together in love. Abstaining from sex at a young age will give your mind and emotions time to catch up with your physical body, and you will more likely make better sexual decisions as you mature and become a woman. Also, you have a better chance at avoiding stds and pregnancy if you abstain from all sexual activity, including oral sex, which transmits disease. Sex is something that is usually enjoyed by females at an older age then males. Guys can ejaculate easily and do not suffer in losing virginity...except maybe humiliation. Girls are often pressured into sex before they are ready and have many regrettable experiences. Looking backwards, many males and females have sexual regrets, but waiting for a loving and commited partner is not something you will regret if you think you are able to abstain. If abstinance is not for you, then get yourself to the doctor and plan to have protection before you get sexually active. God forgives, but sexually transmitted diseases do not.

The following is from the website crosswalk.com:
"In biblical terms, sexual immorality is all extramarital (including premarital) sex. God has set his standard: sexual involvement outside of marriage is wrong. The precept is clear:
"Abstain from…sexual immorality..." (Acts 15:29, NIV). "Flee from sexual immorality..." (1 Cor. 6:18, NIV). "We should not commit sexual immorality..." (1 Cor. 10:8, NIV). "It is God's will that you... should avoid sexual immorality..." (1 Thess. 4:3, NIV).
