I'd be too attached after we had sex....I guess it's an old-fashioned woman thing. I'd have this talk up front before we had sex. If he wanted sex with others, no big deal...we could still be friends and go out.
I don't think I'd be sleeping with a man for a month solid without knowing first that we were exclusive (which can only happen by us being upfront about that and making the agreement), so for me, this works the opposite way.

Now, he might be sleeping with...whomever, and I wouldn't know, if we hadn't had the exclusivity talk yet, but that's him. Until that point, it's not up to me to decide he shouldn't sleep with someone else, OR for me to assume exclusivity because we have slept together.

But for me personally...if I'm getting in there, I'm knowing first that he's not getting anywhere else.

Pretty simple.

Well of course.

But no exclusivity, and its fine. Be safe. Get tested. Be honest when asked.

I agree. I guess some people are ok with having sex with someone they're in a non-serious relationship with. Even so, I would think after a month, you'd have invested enough into the relationship that it's time to talk about exclusivity to avoid ruining it.

yes, normal guys expect that it would go both ways - that's why I posed that statement on this forum...

Fine with me. We're both fair game if not exclusive, I wouldn't expect it to be okay for one party and not okay for the other.

The thing is, in that month period we've seen each other like 4 times. The last two times we spent weekends together, cuddling and doing couple-y things. He's going to be gone for a month (work) and I don't know if it's the right time to approach the subject.

We're both guys, btw.

4 times in one month is a good amount IMO. And you can't go a month without getting your needs met? LOL
