Touching...

[Morcova]

Simply put one things leads to another one moment he's feeling up your breasts, both of you will become aroused and then it will go into territory you may regret.

Hopefully, as other posters have said, you will (or have) seek out counseling for what has happened to you. Secondly, yes it is sexual in nature. One thing leads to another when you begin to caress on certain body parts; breasts being one of them.

It could led to other things. Be careful.

I wouldn't. I doubt your parents would want someone fondling you and I think it's important to respect them.

Then again, I'm extremely prudent and conservative in my behavior.

You need to get counselling.........NOW! Before you and your boyfriend go further, if at all possible, because you are already having troubles with the issues that have not been dealt with .......the rape(s).

Otherwise, I would say do what YOU think is right for YOU.

I think you should talk to professional help about the rape. But thats not the question.

Personally I don't believe in saving for marriage (Although I prefer the concept of saving yourself for someone you really love), but you have decided to save your self (I suppose it was you), so who am I to tell you to do not.

My advice: Go to a certain point and try to find out where is still a safe area and things get a little fuzzy. Then, stay in the safe area, have fun, then go home and touch, so you don't have to sit around and think on what happens which will just create more emotional and pyhsical pressure. But I am not sure if you are capable of masturbation, both because of the rape issue and because christianity demonizes masturbation too (Although it is never mentioned in the bible and a perfectly natural behavior in which many animals engage)

I would agree with the playing with fire idea, although I have been in a relationship where we did that (and a bit more) for around 10 months without having sex (but we did get very close on several occasions).

See OP, it can be done.

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now, and still no sex. Not because we're waiting until marriage, but because there's really no hurry, and I'm not on any sort of BC.

But we do lots of touching and stuff to be intimate (still with our clothes on), for very long periods of time (meaning the entire day), and have never had a problem keeping ourselves from having sex.

My point: If you have self control, you should be fine.
