Sex is a God-given gift (or why else would it be pleasureable?) to be used, however, in the correct way.

To the Christian, sex outside of a stable, committed, monogamous relationship such as marriage is not seen as ideal, and contra to what God designed sex for - for the production of children to be brought up in that stable relationship, and for bringing the couple closer together in love because of its pleasureable nature, where giving pleaseure is far more important than receiving cheap gratification.

Contra to popular belief, Christians are not 'against sex' - just against sexual promiscuity outside marriage. Within marriage, as long as both partners are happy with it, a full sexual relationship (ie, 'anything goes'!) is not simply tolerated by a loving God, but celebrated by Him.

Christians think sex before marriage is bad because God said sex is a wonderful gift for us to enjoy when we are married to our spouse. He doesn't want it to be used for wrong, but for good because your body is a gift to your spouse

Because christains think that god will bring the perfect one along for them to loose it to.

the free sex in spite of representing freedom of fulfilling desires also brings a lot of problems like AIDS, ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN, ILL EFFECTS OF SINGLE MOTHER and PSYCOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF BROKEN RELATIONS in particular. these problems are more important to address than to allow free sex . Hence it is not advisable to have sex before marriage.
