Last Sunday at the church that my husband and I go to the pastor mentioned during worship that young males and females *he did not mention the age range* who are dating need to keep their hands to themselves and to set boundaries regarding appropriate dating behavior.
He did not mention what he meant by keep your hands to yourself.
He has two daughters in their early twenties. Neither of them are dating.
Is it realistic or unrealistic to expect a young adult in their twenties to literally keep their hands to themselves while dating someone and to expect the same from their date?
How would the majority of adults their age react and or feel about this behavior?
Is a connection developed by acting this way?

It is completely unrealistic.
What will happen is what always happens. Teenagers will put their hands all over themselves, and each other, regardless of what the pastor says. They will behave just like teenagers everywhere behave. Only these teenagers will be much more careful to hide their behavior. And they will feel much more guilty about it.

Do you want a pastor who changes with the flow of what is happening now or one who is giving advice to try to help people stay on the "right" path according to whatever religious tenets you believe in. Rarely do the youth agree with what their pastors are telling them - nothing about that has changed. I guess I'm saying what kind of religious teachings do you want to hear?
I got a little change in my pocket going ching-a-ling-a-ling
Wanna call you on the telephone, baby, give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding ring"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, why you gonna treat me this way?
You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow
And said, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding vow"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"
You see, I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in
That's when she started talking about true love, started talking about sin
I said, "Honey, I'll live with you for the rest of my life"
She said, "No huggee, no kissee until you make me a wife"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"

I wonder what denomination this is. I can't imagine a pastor discussing this sort of thing in a sermon. It's more like something he might say to the church's youth group, if at all. I guess he doesn't have much faith in the parents' ability to provide guidance and standards for their kids.
