to have sex? I mean say you're really hitting it off with someone and you have a ton in common he starts making plans with you for the next couple of months and you've started seeing each other only a couple weeks ago? I'm seeing this guy, its not exclusive or anything we've been hanging out a few times a week, talk a bunch, you know all the things you do when you start seeing someone. I'm not one to sleep with every guy I go out with just for the sake of doing it lol, but if the situation were to arrive today (not literally) and its in the moment how bad is that? Do you think having sex so soon can ruin something so good just because its so soon? Or is it like an in the moment type of thing that won't matter in the end? Ahhhh! Should there really be limitations on when to sleep with someone if you both want to? I'm just curious as to what other people think too soon and too long is I suppose

Don't give him anything. Let him get to know you first. Seriously.

It depends on how sex affects you. If sex causes you to have stronger feelings for someone, then I'd wait until you are exclusive. If sex is just a physical, feel-good thing for you, then go for it.

My advice is to wait until you're exclusively dating. That way you don't have to worry about if he's sleeping with other people.

And just BE SAFE! Use protection!!! Sorry to sound like your health teacher but remember to wrap it up!

Wait until you are really sure that you know the person emotionally/mentally. I mean, if he pressure you for sex right off the bat or not understanding that you want to hold off sexual intimacy, then you know he only sees you as a booty-call and not that special someone.

There's no time-frame rule for this... "it depends" is the right answer to your question. For safety purposes alone, don't have sex until you feel like 1) you know the partner very well, and 2) you trust the partner really well.

I always found it hilarious when someone shared "the 3 date rule" with me as if every couple covers the same conversational and emotional territory in 3 dates?! I distinctively remember a guy in school who bedded more virgins this way than I could believe by convincing them that by date 3 he needed to sleep with them or else he would break up with them!

Assuming your an adult, just go with your instincts and sound rational judgment. If your younger than 18 or 19, then take your time getting to know someone a bit longer before rushing things as you probably don't even know what you want yet.

I agree 100%. OP: you already said that you don't jump into bed with just anyone...so its obvious you think it out first.

The bottom line is to not worry about it

you're lying there petting, and it starts getting intimate

things start to get heavy. you approach "that" point.


if your inner instincts are saying "no", then you're not ready.

if your inner instincts say "take me now, big boy" then go for it.

everyone else's rules are different to yours. make them up as you go along. it's fun. !!
