Sex and love usually occur around the same time for me, any where from 3-6 months. There was one time that we waited 6 months to have sex and then I never fell in love. My boyfriends have always been the ones to verbalize it first. The timing varies on that.

Sex first, love when and if it happens. If love happens it's usually within a few months, but can take a lot longer to know not only that it's real and reciprocated, but worth sustaining.

Sex first always. Love has only happened three times in my life. It was not on any specific schedule.

Trusting my gut, plain and simple. When I feel comfortable about doing something, I do it. The timeline of getting to that point is going to vary by individual, but I always know when I feel comfortable to take a step with somebody. My instincts are pretty trustworthy. I've always felt I've made the right choice.

Sex has not occurred first, every time, for me. It's varied.

Sex. I never was in love with a woman i didn't have sex with first, but i certainly have had sex with women with whom i did not fall in love (or were not in love with me). I can't love someone with whom I don't have intimate relationship, but i can be physically and emotionally intimate with women i am not in love with. Some women have been thrown by this because they equate emotional intimacy with love. Others didn't want the emotional intimacy, but sex was fine for them. Everyone isn't wired the same way.

Overall average. Sex first then love, if you can call it love, because.....considering the man I love now, I've realized I've only truly loved one man. And with him, the love came first even though I refused to believe I fell so hard so fast. Hahaha.

With me it has been both ways. But with my one true love, we fell in love before the sex, and it was 6 weeks from meeting, till he said I love you, and then the sex.
