So I'm 18. I haven't ever had a real boyfriend and suddenly now I do. I'm about to go to college away from home (and him) for a while (obviously you know college). But I really just wanted to take a chance with this guy, I don't really think that it's going to be something forever. But I really just want to have a chance, I really appreciate this male presence in my life (my dad died when I was young and the only other prevalent males in my life have been my sports coaches).
Now let's be clear. I know sex before marriage is wrong and I know that that is NOT going to happen. I know anything oral ([bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]) is wrong and that is NOT going to happen. I know certain kinds of touching (like naked touching, fingering, handjobs) are wrong and that is NOT going to happen. And I'm not worried about that. Even when my hormones are raging I have enough wherewithal to put up THOSE boundaries.
The problem is I don't want to do anything wrong even though I realllly like him and I am reaallly attractive to him. We make out, and I don't think kissing is wrong, even if there's lots of it. It's just, he can get handsy. What does the bible say if he touches my butt (through my clothes)? My breasts(through my clothes)? (I know down there is off limits). Are hickey's okay?
I may get aroused when we make out but I just tell him that and then we stop and he just sit there and hold hands and talk. I already told him explicitly that the most I'll do is make out and some touching (always on top of the clothes and never below the belt). I'm asking, hopefully from so older Christians with more experience in these sort of things. Have I set up good boundaries? Do I need to push the line further back? Please advice, experience, regrets, scriptures, and lengthy replies are alllllll welcome. I've been sooooo good with not doing sexual things (except much some much regretted sexting that I will NEVER do again and habitual porn watching THAT I'M TOTALLY WORKING ON BREAKING) but as far as actual physical sexual things like.....the most I've done is with this guy: kissing and some touching.
