how far is far enough

[Quiet Storm]

I haven't read most of the replies, but my personal opinion is that it shouldn't be about "how far you should go" or how close you can get to the line without crossing it. I personally think that hugging and kissing is okay if it's done innocently, and nine times out of ten, the two people know if it's with the intention of showing affection or appreciation, or if it's to entertain lustful thoughts. If it's the latter, then I advise you stay away from it at all costs. For one person, that could be hugging, and for another it could be kissing. Now of course there are the obvious things like avoid sexual organs, groping, and such. But as far as "moderation" in affectoin is concerned, I think that depends on the person.

Interesting thought, here. I've never been in a real relationship before.....meaning that there's all of this pent up affection mixed with sexual desires....so I don't even know my own limit. Looks like when God's willing, I'm going to have to take my first (hopefully only) relationship reeeeeeeeeeaaaaallly slowly!!!

I'm looking for some good advice about a dating relationship. In a heterosexual Christian dating relationship, what physical actions are morally appropriate for a couple to enguage in? Or should all physical affection be held at bay until marriage?

really good question
