I am 20 years old and have just started dating my first boyfriend a few months ago. We are both strong Christians and care very much about following God’s desires for our lives.

Since this is my first boyfriend, I’m overthinking *everything* but also because I’m discovering decisions I never expected to encounter!

I come from a very conservative background, whereas my boyfriend’s high school experience was much more secular. So, beforehand, I didn’t know that dry humping was a thing, but he’s always heard it to be a safe way to release tension without sacrificing one’s purity.

So, ladies, is dry humping okay, within moderation? It means a lot to get Christian perspectives on the matter!
