My boyfriend and I are Christian and believe in abstinence (BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER.. Please don't try to convince me to just have sex with him. That's not my question, that's not what I'm here for. I don't care what you do with your significant other, I'm not you, I'm me, and this is my decision. Thanks! 
). But sometimes, in a really sentimental moment, we both get really close and tempted to go farther. It's not often, but often enough that sometimes I worry. I don't want to have to abandon all of our alone time just because we're worried about self-control. I'd rather find another way if possible. We have gotten extremely close a few times, but stopped each other. I love him very much, and because this is important to him (and me) that we stay away from sex until marriage (which can't happen for at least a year... but that's beside the point and it's personal, so back to the main subject..), I really want to figure something out. Any advice? Thank you!
