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 agree with you, Tony, for the most part. You said that o2bame should be careful as to what people on here have to say because it could be tinged with their opinion. I totally agree with you on that. Then you go on to say that she should ask a pastor or minister to dig a bit deeper. However, you said that they should have some scriptural basis, but the scary thing is that even men and women of God who are in positions as what you stated could 'tinge' those kinds of things with their own opinion. And some of them may not even use scripture at all. So, when you ultimately ended your statement saying that she should pray and as the Lord for guidance, that's where I got back on board with you. Yes, one should be able to trust the pastor and other people in a 'high' position as such in the church, but the true answer lies with the Lord and what is spoken into one's heart by Him. Now, that is 'MY OPINION.'
