As a Christian, I would value any other Christian's view on this. I have never had a boyfriend before, however, if and when I do have my first boyfriend would it be all right to let him kiss my neck or would that open doors for more temptation? Is making out okay if you don't take it too far? Would really like your Christian input.

For some people, kissing on the neck leads to tempatation. For others, it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal for me, I guess my neck just isn't a sexual part of my body. It's only up to you to judge what you can and can't deal with. For some, making out is a no-no due to temptation. Others can go for hours making out and not want anything else.

So talk to your future boyfriend about it before you start so he knows how you feel about it all, and also so he knows that you don't know how far is too far yet. Take it slow, kiss, hold hands, but don't rush things just to see how far you can go because that in itself will lead to temptation.

I'd be careful...neck-kissing used to drive my husband crazy before we got married! That was the thing that 'triggered' temptation for us, we found out, and should have been saved for marriage. When the time comes think carefully of what your own boundaries should be :)

Me and my boyfriend kiss each other's necks, and we don't have a problem with it, as it doesn't lead us to temptation. But that is just us and our boundaries - it's not the same for everyone. As Byootaful said - its something you would have to discuss with your future boyfriend as to what your boundaries would be. It's something you definitely would need to talk about.

Yeah, there isnt really much more that can be said about it. It comes down to it being a totally personal thing. If that is something youcan handle with out wanting more, then okay. My girlfriend kisses my neck and yea, I like it, but I know when to say enough is enough. Its knowing where that line is for you thats important.

Yep! I totally agree. Talk to your bf about it. I know it's not an easy topic to bring up, but you'll be very thankful you did instead of just going with what you feel like doing at the time

It may not do much for the girl - but I bet you - any prolonged type kissing on the neck/making out whatever you want to call it WILL have some effect on the guy (even if it is him doing the kissing on the girls neck)

Gosh... when was the last time my boyfriend and I were alone together to be tempted? I do remember that kissing on the neck was a BIG temptation when we were cuddling up together with no one else in the apartment. That never happens anymore and we continue to kiss on the neck in a sweet way. It's not a temptation.

It really depends on what type of person you are and what your surroundings are like. I believe everyone knows in their heart when a certain action they're taking is going too far.

i guess everyone thinks different, so people have better control thn others. For me, it just tickles so it feels nice. its more comical for me rather thn sexual tbh lol

lol same here...and just like mostly everyone said, its different with different people. My boyfriend kisses my neck and it doesnt tempt me to do anything else.

Well it goes both ways. I understand that my boyfriend might find certain things have an effect on him when they don't have an effect on me. So he's allowed to tell me that's off-limits too. It's all about communication and compromise. :)

Any guy, no matter how sweet, how unperverted and Christ-like WILL be tempted by kissing the neck. Most are slightly (when being 110% honest, which is sometimes hard to be on this subject with our SO's) tempted by kissing on the lips.

Many argue about making out because they're too dependent on kissing, and love instead of the real reason for love.

The point is to stay as far away from temptation as you can.

Temptation is a mine waiting to explode.
You're not going to dance around that mine on one foot are you? No. You're not.
So don't dance around temptation.
If you had to ask.
Then it's wrong.:amen:

Don't fall down the wrong path and end up doing something that'll change your life forever.
Regrets are horrible.
