Abstinence

[Christlover46]

Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some clarification on what the Bible would consider as “sex”. I’ve always wanted to stay a virgin until marriage, but am I still considered a virgin if my area has touched her area without actually going in? I’ve already prayed for forgiveness, but am I still considered a virgin and can I still practice abstinence? Thank you!

I'm sure you're okay.

Sex between a man and a woman is defined as penetration of the penis into the vagina, not just touching the vaginal region. Regardless, abstinence can still be practiced after engaging in sexual activity; it's a lifestyle choice.

We keep putting our hand on the doorknob, eventually we will open the door.

And we must also remember that it is also sin to think about certain things even though not carrying out the mission.

As the Bible states most of us need to be married.

Sure helped me a lot regarding some of those sins.
