Be real careful about what you take to heart from anyone here (myself included). Basically, the Bible says that sex (I'm assuming you're talking intercourse) should be reserved for a marriage relationship. You say you're a new Christian, so first I say to you, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Second, I'd suggest you speak to the pastor, or a lay minister at your church about your questions. Their answer should have some scriptural basis, as well as an explanation of the spiritual context in which the passages they reference come from. With that information, hopefully you'll be able to see some linkage between your quest for information and what they have to say.
Then, I'd get away by yourself and pray; pray for spiritual discernment and guidance about what you've just been given. Continue to read and study and dialogue with others that you believe are walking in the faith. (II Timothy 2:15).
I hope I've helped a lil' bit.
peace.

I wholeheartedly agree with Tony. I am at work and cannot get really in depth with any of my responses.
I am NOT a Biblical scholar nor do I ever really get into Biblical, religious, spiritual debates either on GC or in real life. Consult your minister, Sunday school teacher, Bible Study leader, etc. etc. There are lots of books out that discuss these things and can give better answers.
