HSV2 and oral transmission
Made out with a girl who tested positive for HSV2 but negative for HSV1. She briefly gave fellatio as well to me.
I have no sexual history, meaning never slept with anyone or received fellatio before. I however do remember having one or two coldsores on my lip as a kid.
What are my risks for HSV2?

"If it were up to me, ..."
If its not up to you, who is it up to? Its your body, dude. You can say no.
French kissing or receving oral is fine if she only has genital herpes. You are only infectious from the site of infection.
There is a low chance of getting oral hsv2 if you give her oral sex.
(But doesn't that involve the removal of clothes?)

No no, I personally don't want any oral, but she does really enjoy giving it. If it were up to me, we'd just make out and again she's only given it to me once and everytime since then I've said no.
Marriage is important to me thats all and I just want to know the safety of french kissing her, receiving, and giving. Please assist if you can irrational as it may be to you

genital herpes is transmitted thru contact with the genital area. most of what you've listed doesn't involve that sort of contact so it's not a risk.
You can contract hsv2 orally but the chances of it are rather low.
All that said - realistically - not having actual sex until you are married is a pretty low chance especially if you are getting naked with someone and doing other things. eventually you are going to want to be bumping and grinding naked against their genital areas which is a risk for hpv and hsv ( it's a lower risk than actual penetrative sex but still a risk ). Talk about all this with your partner. If you think you'll be getting naked with her - ask if she's on daily suppressive therapy or not to reduce your risk. Also take the time to read the herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com to learn more about how to reduce your risk. Be a good scout and always be prepared - even though you think you are going to avoid actual sex until marriage - it doesn't often happen that way.

So you're the male equivalent of a Lewinsky virgin. What's the point of that? Guilt? Control? Or are you invested in the fantasy that sex within the context of marriage is the best sex? If that's the case, why not save the oral sex and the kissing, too? What if the woman you hook up with wants you to bag her? What do you say? And how do you draw the line between oral and "penetrative?"
Rhetorical. I don't want or expect answers. The entire concept seems irrational to me.

I'm thinking about saving penetrative sex for marriage and do not want Hsv2 before then
How safe is it to french kiss her?
How safe is it to receive fellatio unprotected?
How safe is it to give oral sex back to her unprotected?
I've seen the standard rate of 4-5% but that involves sex. I'm thinking just kissing and occasionally a little oral sex
