first love
Our first love resulted in physical touching before marriage. Guy wanted this because he had an urge for it. Girl actually wanted to be touched when she is in love. That is why the urge for not only intimacy, but the curiosity of exploring the body of opposite sex is so strong that it is hard to resist. The resistance comes from God's grace, and not from our normal body suppression, because you just cannot suppress sexual urge. The fact that God wants us to resist is for our own good, not for Him, nor for any rules and regulations. Therefore, the condemnation of premarital sex is unnecessarily harsh, and is more for conservative religious people who may have low sex drive than others.
The fact that Bible wants to give us the ability to know Him and that it is not meant to be a book of culture or a book to regulate human behavior is obvious when the book touches on very little about sex drive and control (ONLY ONE OR TWO VERSES), as the bible is relevant to the relationship with God and in our behavior in human interaction that will please God, not for mere cultural taboos about what type of sex is acceptable and what not. The rest of the commands are for OUR OWN GOOD, and not for Him. So, brothers and sisters, do not condemn sexual behavior without understanding the nature of such prohibition.
