It is so important that young people who are unmarried erect barriers against temptation to help them avoid the compromising situations. May I suggest a few barriers.

1. Never go into a house alone with one of the opposite sex.

2. Never, never enter a bedroom alone with one of the opposite sex.

3. Do not neck or pet. Now, admittedly there is no place in the scriptures where the Lord has said, “Thou shalt not neck or pet.” I know that, but he has said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery, or fornication, or anything like unto it.”

4. Never park on a lonely road with just the two of you alone.

5. Do not read pornographic literature.

6. Do not attend R- or X-rated movies, and avoid drive-ins.

7. Do not spend time in drinking or gambling establishments.

Admittedly, these are just a few personal commandments that you might adopt. You should make up your own special and specific list of commandments, such as, “I’ll never accept another date with Herman.” Such commandments would depend on your own past experience and your own particular weaknesses.
