Extra Question Details: 

my boyfriend and I are both over 35 and have dated for 16 moths now. we use to be sexually active until we were saved a year ago and we have not had sex since and we have never lived together, we do plan to marry in about 15 months.He does however touch me outside my clothing in a manner that I think might be a sin. Is ANY kind of sexual contact a sin? we never go further and he NEVER asks me to touch him is this touching a sin? if so how can I explain that to him?

The word of God says that we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory and righteousness. 15 months is still a pretty long time away. Letting him see you is giving him an excuse to fantisize about you sexually. And perhaps lead him to masturbation which is wrong as well.

Unless you can move the wedding up a bit, I suggest trying not to walk around naked or half dressed. It's like a person being on a diet and your eating a delicious chocolate cake right infront of them. That's messed up don't you think. But you need to do what your heart tells you is right. Let the Holy Spirit guide you.

If either you or him are feeling guilty because of this, then you're being convicted by the Holy Spirit and that's God letting you know that it's a nono. I can't tell you for sure if it's a sin, only God can judge and only you can make that call. Pray about it and ask the Lord for wisdom in this matter.
