“...it’s about understanding how God wants us to live our lives in a positive sense and that means that the topic of sexuality has to be approached as much from the perspective of what God wants us to do with the component of our sexual lives… as opposed to just what he doesn’t want people to do.”

Perhaps this might be a good starting point:

“Let your fountain be blessed,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love.
Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he ponders all his paths.
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is led astray.”

Proverbs 5

"Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?"

That would be a first date since sometime in the 1970s. A young man's education should start earlier than that.

A young man should avoid the first date, avoid drugs and focus on working to build prosperity. He can better find someone much more loyal to marriage and young enough to have many children, when he is older, wiser and more prosperous (maybe a young foreign woman).

Perhaps this might be a good starting point:

Yes....along with 1 Corintians 7: 1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
