How is my conscience unrealistic?
Sexual exuberance in a woman is a wonderful thing and a gift from our Creator, yet your conscience may have had you let an ideal partner go for it.
Read Song of Solomon; it seems that there were sexual connections before the actual marriage. I do not advise this proscriptively, but when it happens, some of us believers think it's the end of the world. As long as the connection was not coerced, it's not. It happens to highly compatible people.
One of my favorite sayings (as someone who was not permitted to go to dances when living in my parents' house):
"We don't believe in premarital sex because it might lead to dancing!!"
The saying just helps remind me to look at the essence of the problem without letting my preconceived legalisms interfere with the decision making process.
