darl, its not "easily" followed. as a christian, im on the no sex b4 marriage package, which comes with a 99% guarrantee of no STD's/STI's and limited heart break along the way. but its a hard deal to stick with and many ppl stuff up trying to stick to the rules and not go "too far"...
your comment "easily followed" is totally out of whack... i mean, to marry someone u are gonna bonk for the rest of ur life, u need to hav some sort of physical desires 4 them. to hold out from even touching (and i am envisioning u meaning hugs and holding hands included in this) if u really like them is gonna be hard. of course, i know im gonna hold out til im married before i sex it up with my hubby... but that doesnt mean its easy. every1 has a sex drive and if u are going thru the waiting stage extremely easily without even touchin i would check your sex drive, its out of whack. yes it is a simple idea but it is the hardest and most complicated thing to accomplish. one of my close friends wants to save her first kiss til the altar on her wedding day, but she told me the other day she is finding it really hard. she is already holding out on almost everything else- her and her bf hug and hold hands but no kissing. and its all up 2 her, she could change her mind and kiss b4 she was married and she shouldnt feel any guilt. soha u made a comment on the first page that "religious ppl should be sticking to their morals" or something along those lines. dont judge the ones that stuff up, please. your own values are of an even higher extreme than mine, and most ppl find waitin 4 sex a hard enuf endeavour to accomplish. good luck with it, but dont be too strict on yourself or others, and dont have the misconception that kissing always leads to sex and that outside of marriage it is a sin.
and to answer flypsides original q, never been kissed and i am 17 yrs old.
