rkubs Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I was wondering, i know what catholicism teaches about sex, where you think the line should be drawn for Making out and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azaelia Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Making out and such, is a near occassion of sin and can easily lead to other acts, so it's best to keep it sweet and restrict that kind of contact to light kisses. It's never a good idea to play with fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yep. Always ask - why are you dating the person? Actually, if you are around that age where you are ready to date I suggest a few protestant books: I kissed Dating Goodbye I gave Dating a Chance and Everyman's Battle or Everywoman's Battle (depending on gender) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 [quote name='hugheyforlife' date='Sep 29 2004, 12:16 AM'] no making out. no tongue before marriage!! my two cents [/quote] As a person who made the [i]mistake[/i] of doing both of these, [b]avoid them like the plague![/b] If you're in it so that you're body can feel good, it's not a good thing. Love is self-giving, not self-seeking. Sex is only for inside of marriage and is meant to be completely self-giving. Man and wife are to give themselves completely, not just their bodies or a part of themselves, but all of themselves, to one another. Likewise, this involves God, who blesses the marriage because of this pure self-giving, which is also a total gift to Him, as it is a giving of pure love and He is involved deeply in it. Contraceptives are a grave evil and should never be used. Think to yourself...would I want to give myself or would I want to take for myself? That is the difference between love and lust.

Theoketos Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 One must make the descision to love the other person and not use the other person. Making out is using the other person for pure sexual pleasure (Inside of marriage affection that leads to arousal serves a greater purpose as it is possible for it to be intergrated into love and thus these actions are not using the other person). When you cross the line between affection and arousal, you treat the other person no longer as a brother or sister in Christ, but an object.

Thomas Michael Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'd hate to think y'all are limiting yourselves a bit too much. I see nothing wrong with (chaste) cuddling, as long as it's fully clothed and the hands never go where they shouldn't be. Short kisses ARE a good idea, though.

Theoketos Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yeah, I was saying the same thing. Anything that is affection is good, anything that is arousal (outside of marriage) is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo_jesus Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 and really, if you should say...become aroused by light kisses, or cuddling, then you need to not do those things. Everybody has a different threshold. You need to learn to recognize the feeling of lust and squash it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
