Q:
I’m a virgin and am not ready for sex. Isn’t there more to dating
than sex?
A: For some people, no.
But, for most people, there is a lot more to dating and relationships
than sex. While sex can be a fun and exciting way to express intimacy,
there are plenty of other things to do before, during, after, or instead
of sex. Sometimes we get in a rut and just do the same old thing because
it’s easy and doesn’t take much energy. Use your creativity!
