How long should we wait to have sex?

There is no arbitrary time limit that determines at which point it is "ok" for you to have sex. This is something that YOU decide when YOU feel comfortable with your partner. Do not let anyone tell you how long you should wait before you feel comfortable - it is different for everyone.

After 5+ months of dating, you should have a pretty good idea of what your partner is like and what his "history" is about. Better talk with him about this and make sure it is a two way conversation. Let him know your history as well as his. Make absolutely sure you two are on the same page about sex and your future TOGETHER. Otherwise, wait a little longer, but not for another 5+ months.

I applaud you in your openness about sex, equally commendable that you are asking first and not jumping into any hasty decisions. You will learn soon enough that sex is a good thing and always have been. But for now, take your time. Perhaps this may not be such a big deal.

I say that if it feels right, then go for it. There shouldn't be a time limit or any of that BS. Just go with your feelings

Don't have sex with someone you don't know. The worst thing's can come out of it, and you'll have yourself in a deep mess. You both need to talk more about it together, and until you completely feel your heart is ready to do it, then you should. But wait until your heart gives you the complete will to do it. Because you should never regret something, such as sex.

I wouldn't rush into sex with someone that I don't really know because of some risks, but I would say to wait a little bit until you are sure that you know him well enough to take that step.
