To What Extent Do You Practice Sexual Modesty?
Sarah:
I refrain from all of those things except I do shake hands with guys if they hold out their hand first.
Does it depend on your intention, though? I mean shaking hands could be wrong if you do not intend for it to be formal.
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
#1,2, and 3. Not 100% on #4 (about shaking hands, but rarely do it anyway.)
Barach Velvel ben Lazer Eliazer:
The hugging, kissing and hand shaking taboos are only a part of Hasidim. They're perfectly acceptable in other demoninations.
I have vast respect for Hasidim, but being of the Orthodox demonination, these particular Hasidim taboos are perfectly acceptable to me.
However, if a Jewish or a Gentile, because this really goes for everybody, feels that psychical contact with a woman would stimulate sexual tention or impure thoughts than it would be best for that individual to reframe from contact with a female.
As long as these actions are in good faith and are merely used as greeting gessures, they're fine, and are often signs of showing respect.
My aunt is good friends with a Hasidic rabbi, who when he goes on business puts aside the handshaking taboo in order to not offend Gentile women, who may not understand such restrictions.

I personally don't care for the sex before marriage rule?
I HATE PEOPLE THAT ACT HOLIER THAN THOU JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING...
I think certain rules should be abided by but i don't agree that there should be a prohibition on sex before marriage..
WHAT IF YOU DON'T EVER PLAN TO GET MARRIED LIKE ME?
Wayne Jude:
A wittle bit weird of a question!My sin or not sin is between myself and God.But I wouldn't kiss and tell.LOL
