My girlfriend and I put our relationship in God. However, we "manipulate" each other's sex organs. No oral nor does my junk ever touch her besides her hand. Is this wrong? I don't feel wrong when doing do it. I don't get that guilty feeling either. I'm just wondering and it doesn't say anything about this in the Bible

In order to answer this, I am going to tell you to define "sex."
When you do (and please use the dictionary), I think you will find that you are justifying your behavior so you can allow yourself to act.
The reason "manipulation" is discouraged is because the more often it happens, the easier it is to justify going to the next step.
One last thing. You say you are a Christian, then pray for your answer. God will answer you. You may not like the answer, but He will answer you.

You are tempting yourselves, and not keeping yourselves pure before God. You are committing a sin of lust. The sin is not in the action as much as in the mind. You need to not be alone together, and stop what you are doing, it will eventually lead to intercourse. Arelationship that is in God is pure, emotionally, physically and mentally. Yours is not. sorry feeling good is not justification for doiing anything.
As the male it is your responsibility to stop this and get it back on the right path, if you can't do that you need to get married.
You need to confess the sin and turn from it. Date only with others that also want to save themselves for marriage so you can support each other and encourage each other to do the right thing.

I think the mere fact that you asked the question you know in your heart that what you are doing is wrong.
Check out Galatians 5:19 through 5:21...
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,...of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
So what does it mean to be lascivious? Well Dictionary.com says...
1. inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd: a lascivious, girl-chasing old man.
2. arousing sexual desire: lascivious photographs.
3. indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness: a lascivious gesture.
So the bible is very clear that "fondling" with the desire to arouse sexually is a sin.

The Greek word por·nei´a, translated “fornication,” has a fairly broad meaning. It relates to sexual relations involving persons not married to each other and focuses on the misuse of the sexual organs. Por·nei´a includes such acts as oral sex, anal sex, and masturbating another person—conduct commonly associated with houses of prostitution. People who think that such acts are not “fornication” are fooling themselves and have fallen victim to one of Satan’s snares. (2 Timothy 2:26) Furthermore, maintaining chastity means more than merely refraining from any act that constitutes fornication. To “flee from fornication,” we must avoid all forms of sexual uncleanness and loose conduct that could lead to the gross sin of por·nei´a. (Ephesians 4:19) In that way we maintain chastity

No... There is nothing wrong in it. It's natural. The whole world stands on this basic principle of nature. Reproduction and continuity of life.
The thing which you did with your girlfriend is just one of that process...

And you are quite mistaken. This is fornication plain and simple. Even LOOKING AT ONE ANOTHER IN LUST IS.
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. If you are thinking these wrong thoughts, you sin.
It is best for a man not to touch a woman, but if he must, they should marry.

It will eventually lead you to want more... it is a natural desire; what would you do then? Sex outside marriage is a sin, you know. Better don't play with fire.

The Bible doesn't list exactly what is appropriate for couples outside of marriage. I think that this issue should remain between you, your girlfriend, and God. Anything that anyone tells you on this site will strictly be a matter of personal opinion.

It is sexual foreplay, and doing so is dangerous if you want to wait until marriage before having sex.
