I am just curious what from a christian stand point would be too far for a 15 year old to go physically with his girlfriend. I am confused as to where a line should be drawn and saved for older ages and marriage.

Personally, I think 15 is a little young to be intimate with your girlfriend. Yes, you both may be physically mature for sex, but emotionally you are not. If you have sex when you are not ready it can upset the balance of your inner self, and your relationship if you two can't handle it maturely.
It might be better to hold off for about 6 months or so, and then re-evaluate your relationship. Teens break up and hook up with so many different people now days. If you really want to save it for marriage, your girlfriend should respect that. Just don't put yourselves in a situation where sex can happen. Don't be alone, ANYWHERE. Go on group dates and get to know each other inside and out emotionally before you get intimate. You will be so glad that you did.

1st Corinthians 7:1 says, "It is good for a man not to touch a woman." The Gree work for touch there is the word Haptomai, which means, "to touch so as to light a fire." Don't do anything that would arouse either one of you.
Don't allow yourself to be alone together in a room with the door closed. Things like that. Pray and read the Bible together every day. Both of you should have an accountability partner, her a mature Christian girl; you a mature Christian guy.

From a christian standpoint, you shouldn't be doing ANYTHING sexual. A peck on the cheek and a hug is about it.
I don't think you should be having sex at 15, but not for any "christian" reason. You're just too young, plus I didn't get to have sex when I was 15 either!

I think a kiss is it, rubbing each other's shoulders or giving a massage or something is too physical. Sexual temptation is very powerful, probably the most powerful, and most damaging, sin out there. Sex goes to the core of our spiritual being. It's a very bonding thing, and making those bonds outside of marriage only results in them being broken and causing pain.
So, I say keep it no more than a kiss, though I think avoiding that isn't unwise. Don't give temptation a foothold.

All forms of animal satisfactions are too far for men of any ages.
Children nowadays should be taught to be more human, more intellectual, more spiritual. In order to teach children, parents and their guardians should learn too. The moral line is in our consciousness about human dignity.
Human degradation really means too far, it enmeshes various societies! Old morality might be considered as too restricted, but freedom doesn't mean no morality. True morality of all times is for preserving human esteem, human dignity, human nobility. In the past, only kings and princes are considered as children of God; today we know that all men are absolutely equal, not as animals, but as the highest beings with rational sense.
Civilization has provided man with the Internet, it should provide us also with broader human mind - not bestial instincts.

Sorry, not a Christian answer, but I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that sex should wait until you're capable (emotionally and financially) of caring for a child.
Just a little public service message.

I would say that you don't want to do anything sexual at all because it is just opening up a can of worms and then you will be tempted to do more.God admonishes us to be pure before marriage, I really think that means pure as in not soiled but everyone has their own interpentation.

Anything further than hand holding. There is a great book you can read about "dating" that might help you get a perspective. It is called "I kissed dating good-bye".
When you engage in any kind of physical touch with another person, you are in the danger zone if you are not married. Save yourself for your wife. It is the BEST gift you could ever give her for your wedding. You will never regret it.

You will probably discard this, seeing as I am Unitarian, but I believe that demiviergité is the line.
Since I assume that you are not a French major, the word "demiviergité" is no sex. However, as long as one of you can maintain control of yourselves (in the interests of chivalry, it should be you), you will not "go too far". Just do not have sex.
Hope I helped!

Heavy petting, Inappropriate touching, Anything that you would be ashamed to have a guy do to you. with the exception of maybe kissing. Or at least that is what my mother told me years ago.
And no I didn't harm me, I have a wife and a wonderful son.
