sexual stress and abstain from sex?

I have been divorced for 4 yrs. Begining to date again. I finally have found someone that respects wishes to abstain from sex. Sounds great but how far is too far? Is there a good book out there? I know that the perfect life would mean total abstainence. I have found that to be really challenging even for me. I really am looking for some honest opinions. thanks

Update:

to give a bit more detail. It is my choice to not have sex before marriage. We both are very attracted to each other and had sex for an hour on our last date. I have a date again on Sunday and would like this one to go more controlled. We are going to try to stay in public places only. I have known him for 2 years by the way. I really just don't want to have every date turn into sex. But at 35 what else do we girls think of... not much.

    That sounds like you have been blessed with someone who truly wants to be with you for you and not just for sex only. When you feel like giving in to those sexual urges here's some suggestions. #1- Pray, #2- Take a hot bubble bath by yourself in your own home alone, #3- Clean the house, or #4- Call a good female friend who you really trust and respect and just talk on the phone with her, or go out together ( movie, restaurant, or shopping). Now if you choose to give in to those sexual urges ask yourself this question honestly. Do you want him only for sex or do you want a serious relationship with him?

    a million. i'm the perfect lover my lady's ever had, and she or he's had some. It makes our lovemaking extra severe, because now she is responsive to what she became lacking.* 2. you've a level there, she has some regrets. 3.

Implanon fairly. 6. Implanon has no uncomfortable part consequences, apart from eliminating those pesky sessions. 7. no longer positive how *no longer* having sex saves you time and money, except you're literally not holding any kind of healthful courting courting with everyone. 8. Self-righteousness is unquestionably a good feeling, besides the undeniable fact that lost. everyone in a sturdy courting, no matter if their first or their sixth, might want to experience free. 9. you're contradicting your self, there. someone who's having sex without the dedication of marriage of route might want to be playing those similar years, only with the great aspect about sexual excitement. 10. Having babies isn't an emotion, it truly is a effect. Of unprotected sex.

My lady, for instance, had a son at the same time with her ex-husband. She idea that that they had be at the same time continually, he became out to be a douchebag. Their marriage became a foul one, or maybe besides the undeniable fact that she became depressing, it took her 8 years to finally come to a call to end it. Now she's with me, and she or he's chuffed. All that marriage did became make issues harder, in the great. *i'm no longer bragging, right here. i'm no miracle love-making gadget. I gained't difficulty going into information, besides the undeniable fact that it truly is obvious her previous companions did no longer have the slightest idea a thanks to thrill a woman.

  • Why on earth would you want to abstain from sex?

    Both Men and women need regular orgasms not only to keep their plumbing in order, but for mental health and genital cancer prevention.

    Honey- I completely sympathise with your complex feelings regarding sex, but love without sex is not romantic love but Platonic love.

    I think you need some sex- it's the best remedy for ladies skin (solo or otherwise). Release those endorphins and give your skin a healthy glow!

    talk to your guy what are the reasons he made this choice?..Sex isn't everything but it's a big part in a relationship...maybe he's been hurt before and feels like sex is the cause of the ends to his past relationships or it complicates things too much or maybe it's something medical..either way find out and talk about it and tell him how you feel without cutting him down too much about his decision

  • one of the toughest questions in the world you ask.

    "too far" would probably be "going without" forever.

    From the words you use, it appears that the "need for perfection" is not as important as the "need for intimacy". I would guess that you would feel better if you took steps to shift into the intimate.

    There is an old Russian proverb "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

    Try the treaty.

    good luck

    As a general rule, if it feels "good", it's probably a sin if it's outside of marriage. Kissing is probably as far as you want to go, but if kissing makes you tempted for more, then maybe you shouldn't kiss either.
