I'm simply saying that if that time is arbitrary then you're playing games!

If you are feeling it but hold back in exchange for something then you use it as a weapon or commodity.

We're just going in circles at this point. Adults realize that sex has consequences and think of those before just jumping into bed with someone. I want to have some sort of connection with a man before I sleep with him, is that alright? Or is wanting to know someone's last name and a little bit about them asking faaaar too much? I was definitely attracted to the last guy I went out with, but I didn't sleep with him on our first date. Guess I was just playing games, right?

Not really. I was very attracted to him, definitely in a sexual way, but I held off. Am I playing games?

YES!

Why did you hold back if you both felt it?

Do you believe in self protection? If you've already been sexual with someone because you're not holding back or trying to play games and THEN they show you who they are, if you now know the person intimately, and the sex is good, do you still keep having sex with them because your body feels like it even though your brain is saying "what the heck am I doing?" If a woman stole from you or ruined your career yet you still had attraction for her would you act on that attraction or stay as far away from her as possible?

Then color me a game player because I didn't have sex with someone I'd only known 6 hours.

How often do you feel like having sex with someone you don't trust? Maybe that's the problem?

Either way, she doesn't need you answering for her...

I thought is was a valid question regardless of what inspired it.

You have a point, I can't trust a person I hardly know. Two different issues physical attraction and trust are they not? I guess you are saying just go take a chance. If you are not damaged then if you find out later on the person can't be trusted, you should no longer be attracted to them. But if you are damaged, you will continue to be turned on? Really I'm trying to understand where you are coming from.

But can you answer my original question, basically if your little head and your big head are disagreeing, then what?
