Jesus, Himself?
No.
Only the teachings from His Apostles

Acts 15:20 ESV - but should write to them to abstain - Bible Gateway
20 but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood.
That seems to just say sexual immorality in general. I would describe that as cheating or rape, I guess i'd need to find a bible scholar's interpretation of that line.

Since there's no Hebrew or Greek word for "premarital" in the Bible we can only take it's Word for it in blessing marital sex.
CG's post was awesome, BTW

I read it, it was a good post but it still mostly spoke about sexual immorality.
Which seems open to interpretation, my interpretation is there's nothing immoral about premarital consenual sex. Like i said I view sexual immorality as rape or cheating or even voluntarily having unsafe sex with someone you don't want to have a child with.

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman. But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (English Standard Version, 1 Corinthians 7:1-5)
You are welcome to view it anyway you want. But the Bible does suggest that sexual intercourse outside of marriage is 'sexual immorality'.
Thanks for seeking honest answers without the usual bashing that tends to happen regarding matters of the Bible, DrDrock

That still doesn't define sexual immorality, I get what you're saying though.
Using my view on sexual immorality, maybe Jesus viewed a married man as less likely to rape or cheat, which would also make sense.
I googled it and I prefer discussion to the results i got. It was mostly bible blogs and anti-bible blogs seemingly.
So if anyone could post their favorite link on the subject or provide bible text to argue their point i'd appreciate it.
Jesus said of adultery -
Matthew 5:27-28 - You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Pretty tough standard to meet. Which is why we are in need of a Savior.

Didn't Jimmy Carter admit something like that to Playboy magazine?
