Old wise man told me growing up that if she'd give it to me,, then who else would she give it to... I picked one that didn't offer it to me before marrige, and been getting it often for going on 17 years ever since. It's how we were raised, and didn't go to church either. It's a common ( or should be ) thing called respect.
What a wonderful story -- I admire you Sounds like you found one very incredibly special lady!

I like the idea of waiting until marriage, but some partners can't wait that long. Even so, at least 6 months is my minimum.

This idea of sleeping with a woman so that "you know what you are getting before marrying them" is nonsense. If you love a woman and respect her and the feeling is mutual, then she is almost certainly going to be responsive sexually. There are of course exceptions. For instance, women who have issues sexually, But sleeping with them before marriage isn't going to necessarilly identify such women. She might still be sexually responsive until marriage and then it could all change.

What is the intent of having sex?

Some people just date to have sexual companionship, not a commitment. That applies to both men and women in today's world.

Others see sex as commintment so they wait longer when they believe there is a commitment to that person.

Others have sex the very first date.

Others do wait until marriage.

Get the point?

It varies. To you it is six months? Great.

Others more or less, take care.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again – do it when it feels right for you. There shouldn’t be any set time! I find this concept of “I don’t do this or that on the first date, there is a 3 date minimum before this or that happens” absolutely ludicrous.

Maybe it’s your first date, maybe it’s your 30th, whatever feels right for you. Go with your head, heart and… whatever else is crying out to you.

3 maybe 4 dates, after that I'm moving on. There's no way I'd wait 6 months. There are plenty of nice, cool, smart, sexy woman not willing to play some "carrot dangling in front of the horse" game. This country as a whole may demonize sex because of the christian right, but that doesn't mean I have to play along with their attempts to control and manipulate people.

Sounds like you have some insecurity issues along with difficulty handling woman's sexuality. Goodluck waiting 5 years, because it's unlikely you'll find anyone willing to wait that long. People can get huffy about sex all they want, at the end of the day, the instinct is still there. The desire and drive to have sex is in our DNA. You can't change that. It's nature.
