My doubts are similar to pathfinder.

It is OK to engage in sex with one’s lawful partner. All other activities fall under “sexual misconduct.”

Doesn’t “misconduct” have to do with activities that can harm others and oneself? Why can’t 2 consenting adults have sex even if not married? Different societies have different views on this issue. In religious communities, it is generally prohibited to have sex before marriage. But it only encourages people to get married early. For example, I went to a Christian college in Iowa and there were many kids who got married before they even graduated. In many Muslim countries, one could get punished for engaging in sexual activities before marriage but it is OK for men to have multiple wives.

To be honest, societal views and what’s considered “lawful” are quite strange. In the United States where I live, Prostitution is illegal in most places. But the porn industry is thriving. It is “lawfully” wrong to pay someone for sex unless they are being recorded which is why sites like Only Fans and Naughty America are “lawful”.
