According to the Teen reporter, In some societies, religions, or simply
personal preference, people may choose to abstain from sexual intercourse with
their significant other until marriage. If you want to stay sex-free with your
boyfriend, take this tutorial.
- Have a discussion about your reasons for abstinence. Engage your boyfriend in a good give-and-take talk about your ideas concerning the timing for sexual intercourse. Seek his input, but explain where you stand, so there will be no misunderstandings later
- Be active together. In your free time: hike, bike, swim, walk, exercise, play sports, and so on. Get up and out, working your muscles, to relieve pent-up tensions.
- Spend time together in public places away from home. Do not study together at home, for instance, but go to the library where you cannot do things in private.
- Do nonsexual activities. Do things together that are not necessarily sexual, such as giving each other: massages, shampoos, pedicures, and manicures
- Give your boyfriend positive feedback. Compliment him on his looks, mental prowess, and skills with hobbies or sports, for example. Do no take him for granted. Tell him how much you appreciate him being on the same page as you are as far as sexual intercourse goes.
- Be loving. You are in a relationship. Even without sexual intercourse, you can show your love for your boyfriend .
- Meet with other girls. Have group meetings with like-minded girls to reinforce your ideas concerning sexual intercourse, giving each other feedback and a chance to describe strategies.
- Remind your boyfriend that abstinence is not forever, and there will come a time when you will have sexual intercourse. Talk with him about making plans for that time.
