If you had thought to ask me first, I would be eager to answer. I will answer whatever question you'd like once my original question to you has been directly addressed. I want to understand your position better. I'm a simple guy. I like yes/no questions. It's not complicated...we examine the Bible one step at a time.

So again, are you aware of other reasons (besides STDs) why God forbade sex outside of marriage?

By "why", I was asking what are all the reasons it is wrong.
Your answer didn't specify whether you were entirely answering the question or only in part.
I don't want to make assumptions about what you believe, so I am clarifying whether your answer represents your entire understanding of moral reasoning or only part of it.

So again, are you aware of other reasons (besides STDs) why God forbade sex outside of marriage? Or are STDs the only reason?

Sir,
I am trying to be respectful of your viewpoint by asking for clarification.
You either want to have a civil, clear, orderly conversation...or you don't. Your response is telling.

I was in the process of asking about YOUR position. Not the other way around.

You responded with a qualifier, so I had to clarify what you meant by that. Then when I tried to clarify, you gave a seemingly partial answer. Then when I asked if that was your complete answer, you said, "You tell me".

If you just answered questions directly, completely, and non-defensively, we could have covered a lot of ground already.
The heart of my original question was simple..."Why did God forbid marriage-less sex? What is the entire, fleshed-out reasoning?"
Do you believe STDs are the ONLY reason? Yes or no?

Is sex outside of marriage a sin? It depends. According to Deuteronomy 22:28 it isn't if both are single. They only have to get married and the man pays the brides price. It's not listed as a sin and there's no punishment.

He hates the Almighty God, He is never going to do anything other than talk about perverted things in hopes that anyone who is interested in Jesus will see Christianity as perverted and twisted and be turned away from it. He's a mole here for no other work than to have anyone who is innocent and looking at Christianity(an neophyte) to read along in our threads and think "wow Christians are nut's".. The more you respond to his threads the more damage you will do to all the young potential Christians(they will leave and change faith) STOP RESPONDING TO HIS THREADS...

Deuteronomy 22:28 does not exclude fornication as a sin.
Fornication and Adultery are both sins. But their punishments were different.

Now back to the main issue, Do you believe STDs are the ONLY reason God forbids marriage-less sex?

And you should remember that in a Christian web site Children will be also viewing your post. As a full grown adult you should realize that if you have a fixation on sex you should ask a Church deacon to school you about it.

Well no if I were Taliban I would expect 50 virgins to be forced to know me in Heaven like you insinuate you expect in all your threads(you sort of got that part backwards,lol),,, you should just settle with it in your own mind that if women aren't interested in you here on earth then they probably wont be ant more interested in you in Heaven and so it's probably just all in your head.
