Why most religions prohibit premarital sex

Actually there are many religions that do not prohibit premarital sex. Why should sex be seen as sinful or "bad". It is natural way of life. A way for each species to continue their lineage. Humans were blessed with a way to feel pleasure in a physically intimate way, and why not celebrate this? Most religions have abused the rules that marriage places on people. In this day and age what is a sin? Especially when things that should be sinful are committed every day. Most marriages are a major example of this. There are are "open marriages" which younger people get into allot simply because they are forced into the relationship because of their parents beliefs. Are you saying that it's alright to have sex when married, even if it's not with the person your married to legally? Marriage has become a thing of legal bonding, that is constantly used in manipulative way to keep someone else from straying. Even with this many still stray and divorces are consistent. One should not pull away from there own sexuality or someone elses. One should be able to love someone else in any way they please without feeling constrained. Why put limits on a relationship that ends up becoming something that is nothing more than material. Sex can be shared in a loving relationship without marriage. One does not need documentation to feel for someone else, so why does one need it to share their body with someone else? Sex being seen as sinful was simply a belief used to create shame in people so they would be more willing to follow someone else who had no shame supposedly. Should people regret have sexual relations marriage? If so then shouldn't they also regret every time they feel pride when they look in the mirror or regret every time they think someone else looks attractive?
