Congratulations for living out your beliefs.
Question: I have friends who were virgins before they married but they did everything else but intercourse (i.e., no penetration). Did they fulfill that scripture of staying away from sexual immorality?
I ask that question because some people believe that christians should even not do heavy petting or getting to third base. They only believe that hand holding and kissing is allowed.

Believe me, I have swerved toward caving in, but thanks to lots of faith in Jesus, I have resisted giving into the temptation.
I would work hard to tell the woman I love that we need to start out each of our moments spent together in sincere prayer so that we don't give into those urges.
So far so good. I'm 26 and still a virgin. I pray that God keeps me that way.
I would work hard to wait until my girlfriend/fiancee and I were married before consumating our bond because that's what God would want.
