I know what you mean by wondering how far you can go. I reckon you are already pretty clued up on that and on yourself. Certainly if touching your yf gets you sexually excited, I would say that you are in dangerous waters. If not, then I cannot think you are in any trouble. As for your own kids. I have two sons now 18 and 20. They got lots of cuddles and suitable touches when they were small. I think kids need physical signs of affection - too many adults have got hangups cos their dad never showed any when they were young. But I can tell you that there will be a "Something" that will stop you going too far with them if you are trusting God for your family. I do not think I ever went too far, but I did get scared of being affectionate after an encounter with one of their friends when they were 10 and 12. I only hope that the lack of signs of affection for the next few years didn't harm them. Do email me if you want to chat with a BL who is also married. In Him Bill |
