Actually -- sex outside of marriage is NOT practiced among 'genuine' Christians.For example: Among Jehovah's Witnesses, anyone who practices sex before marriage, or sex outside of marriage, or adultery; is a disfellowshipping offense.

What does you shall not commit adultery mean?
Having sex outside of marriage, either yours, or your partner's or that of you both. Felt I needed to correct this answer because it's not at all true how God sees adultery. The bible tells us that in God's eyes it is even wrong to lust within our hearts. You can commit adultery even if you don't commit a sexual act. It's sharing a sexual or intimate bond (something you wouldn't do with that person if your spouse was around) with someone other than your spouse. If you are taking away your gift of intimacy a married couple is supposed to have, whether it is sexual, physical, mental, or emotional, if you are taking that from your marriage and giving it to someone other than your spouse, you have committed adultery. Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery. - Hebrews 13:4

What percent of the christian church believes that homosexuality is wrong?
Some of most Christian denominations believe it is wrong. The ones that believe the Bible do. Some people say it was just Paul, because he was a homophobic. Leviticus 18:22 was written many years before Paul, as it is in the Old Testament "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. " Genesis tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 13:13 says the men of Sodom were very wicked. Genesis 19:5 says that the men of Sodom wanted to have relations with male travelers in Lot's house. God destroyed the town because of their sin, primarily homosexuality. I Corinthians 6:9 and I Timothy 1:10 say that if a person is a homosexual they will not inherit the kingdom of God. But to clarify, it is NOT JUST homosexuality! Adulterers (going outside the marriage) and fornicators (sex before or outside of marriage) are mentioned in those verses, too. God had more to say about heterosexual relationship outside of marriage than He did about homosexual relationships. God hates all forms of sexual sins, not just homosexual ones. Take a look at I Thessalonians 4:3&4 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor." God designed sex for marriage, and within marriage only. Leviticus 18 doesn't cover just homosexuality, but many different types of relationships.
Is adultry wrong?
Right and wrong depends on who the judge is. Do you and your partner have an agreement that it is ok to cheat? You do? Then for you and your partner, no, it may not be wrong. But even so, people outside of your relationship may not agree. What if "the other person" also has a partner who does not know about and/or approve of the activity? Then to them it may be wrong. And then there are people who are not connected to the action at all but who may judge you for your actions. For example, some conservative religious groups believe that any kind of sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin. To them, it would clearly be wrong, too. Finally, what about children? Do you already have kids with your partner? Is there a chance of getting someone else pregnant? What would you say to them if they found out?
