Things You'll Need:
- open mind
- determination
- self control
-
Step 1
1. Know your limits. For example, some people can kiss for hours and not go further. Be aware of your boundaries and do not test or cross them.
-
Step 2
2. Keep your clothes on. No matter how heated a situation may get with you and the other person, if you keep your clothes on, you will not be so close to having sex.
-
Step 3
3. Practice self control. Do not be reckless with yourself. Try not be so touchy-feely when around your significant other. Keep your hands to yourself sometimes. The sense of touch can make one want to go further.

Step 4
4. Pray. This should be the number-one thing to do. If you are truly serious about living a life for God and waiting until marriage, pray that you are aware of what you do.

Step 5
5. Do not tempt the opposite sex. Being a man or woman is already a teaser because it causes curiosity for the next step…whatever the step is. Although teasing a flirting with physical contact in private areas may be fun, it ignites fires that need to be lit after marriage.

Step 6
6. Say, “No.” If the situation is too much for you to bear, you can refuse it. If the other person does not respect your wishes, you would need to rethink your situation.
-
Step 7
7. Be firm. If you want to wait, you will, but be strict with yourself.
-
Step 8
8. Avoid sexual images, movies, conversations, etc. You are what you eat. If you feed your brain particular words or images, you will become consumed with it in your thoughts, words, or actions. There are more topics, issues, and things to explore rather than sex.
