I just wanted to clarify…what do you all (I doubt anywhere in the Catechism it gets this specific) think the “sexual boundary” is between sin/not a sin? Kissing? Fondling? Third base? I need help here.
 
Third base and fondling, anything involving contact “down there” is out. Kissing, I’m not sure.

Anytime you are in a dating situation it is almost impossible to keep from sinning on some level. Even the best behaved young couples will certainly commit sins of the mind at some poinit. Just do your best to behave yourself as you enjoy her (his) company and focus on the love of Christ. Do not let sins of the mind become sins of the flesh. We are all sinners… every single one of us. My advice to you would be to practice courtship rather than dating.

I see nothing wrong with hand holding and a nice good-night kiss, but past that you are asking for trouble. I hope this helps.
🙂

Lust of course (see the ccc) is grave matter…

Kissing can be sinful and can also not be …

on this site…see the top tab ‘chastity’ …there is lots there for you …
 
Until you are validly married to a person, you and that person should do nothing physical that you would not get up and do in front of the whole congregation at your Church, your parents, their parents and both sets of grandparents as well as your future children.

What would Jesus do?
 
I thought that “going all the way” was the only sin of lust…? :ehh:
 
I am not exactly sure where the boundary between sin and not sin is in kissing, but one thing needs to be kept in mind: Kissing can very easily lead to more. There is a difference between a short kiss and a real long lustful kiss of course.
I am really afraid to say something wrong here. Really best thing to talk to your priest!!

Any sexual contact/act outside marriage is a sin of grave matter.
Rule of thumb - if you do something you would not do in front of your parents it is almost certainly a sin.
