Sex Before Marriage

A speaker at a sex education talk in a Chinese primary school in Perak, Malaysia reportedly told the pupils to shame those people engaging in premarital sex. Elsewhere in the Internet, there is a claim that 100% of non-Muslim youths in Malaysia have had premarital sex while a Sunday Star online survey Let’s Talk Sex with 2795 young people aged 15 to 25 from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (Utar) revealed that most youths do not want to have pre-marital sex. Amidst all these confusing reports, do you perhaps get confused over the third of the Buddhist Five Precepts Kāmesumicchācāra veramaṇī sikkhāpadaṃ samādiyāmi, I undertake the training rule to abstain from sexual misconduct? Is premarital sex a sexual misconduct?
