Kind of personal.. but is foreplay a sin?

Question

I just got saved recently and to be honest I'm dying without s*x :/

SO i was wondering if foreplay was considered a sin if you're not married.. I was thinking that it was but a lot of people are trying to convince me otherwise. I'm so confused.

Answer 1

Well lusting is considered bad in the eyes of God according to the bible, but i would say "do whatever make YOU feel comfortable".

Answer 2

everything is a sin

Answer 3

If you believe it is a sin, you can always get spiritually married to the person you are intending to get involved with.

Answer 4

i think when some s*x starved people become christians god has to make allowances for them so listen to the spirit of god talking to you.  

Answer 5

If you just got saved and believe in the faith that you are saved in, then yes, foreplay is a sin.

Holding hands, snuggling and a kiss is affection for the one you are with, especially if you are dating/engaged to be married.

But, foreplay if you are not already married is a little more than just holding hands, snuggling and kissing: it goes onto touching, rubbing and holding each other in a very sexual way on the b*****s, buttocks and genitals. This often leads to stimulus causing erections for the guy and stimulus in the v****a for the female, too much a pre-*** for the guy and so forth for the female. This may also lead to the throws of sexual intercourse. Foreplay in your faith would be considered a sin.

If I were you I'd wait until I was married if you are afraid of sinning and feeling guilty.

But remember, if you do get into foreplay forgiveness is always there, even if it leads to sexual intercourse. All you have to do is ask in your heart and mean it.

Remember, "Ask anything in My Name".

Being wih a person you are close to is exceptionally hard to forgo foreplay and even s*x, especially if you weren't raised in the faith. You will not go to h**l if that is what you're worried about.

Answer 6

s*x is not a sin, and neither is foreplay. It's perfectly natural. If God gave us these sexual urges, why would he make s*x a sin? It's contradictory. This, along with many other reasons, is why you shouldn't let the bible run your life. The only sin is following a set of rules to the point that you have no joy in life.

Answer 7

Sure, 'cause it makes sense that selling your daughter as a s*x slave is OK (Ex. 21, 7-11) but it's not OK to fool around with someone out of marriage. o_o Seriously, Christianity is a strange religion.

Answer 8

I don't know, a lot of religious people say it is, but than do otherwise...  I am not religious but I personally would consider foreplay to be on the same lines as s*x.

Answer 9

It depends.

I'm confused, too.  

On one hand, sexuality is a gift.   On the other hand, we know that even looking at someone with lust is the same as adultery.  We're not to "awaken" love before it is ready, but we don't always know what "ready" means.  

I'm no expert on salvation or sexuality, but I suspect one answer lies in praying about it. "Test all things and hold fast to that which is good"

1 Thessalonians 5:21.

Answer 10

You're gonna have to do your reserach and figure out your own personal interpretation and level of comfort for this one. You'll find the whole spectrum within the religious culture (like the "I kissed dating goodbye" books for those who think you shouldn't be doing anything above holding hands before you're married). Religion is a very personal committment, don't let other's pressure you if you don't feel comfortable, and don't write everything off as sin without actually looking into it and thinking rationally about it first.

Answer 11

i don't see why it would be, but then again i don't see why much of anthing of those that will lead u to eternal damnation in most religions are wrong in ther first place.

have fun not gettin any, lmao.

Answer 12

It is.

However, keep in mind that our Lord is a God of mercy, understanding, and love, as well as justice.

So don't beat yourself up all the time thinking over it.

Just work diligently towards finding someone who will love, honor, protect, and obey you in holy matrimony.

If you're young, just realize that nobody ever died from not having s*x (although some times it's rather difficult to resist). But many many people have died from HAVING s*x.

So there are plenty of good reasons God set these rules down for us.

Congrats on your salvation. Help others to find the way.

Good luck!

Answer 13

Sigh..."I just got saved recently and to be honest I'm dying without s*x." Any religion that denies the NATURAL HUMAN SEXUALITY is ridiculous!

There's nothing sinful about s*x, married or unmarried. There's nothing sinful about foreplay. It's natural, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Answer 14

there's no simple yes or no answer it all depends on religion and your general morals I prrsonaly think it isn't but I am not a very religious person.
