  • I mean personally I'd say after marriage, but I can't tell you what to do or what not to do! Cause it is your decision after all. But a lot of girls date a guy who they think is the one, someone they think is going to be with them forever and such and then the guy breaks up with them after they've done it or break up with them for another reason. Your body, heart, mind, and soul are all precious things. So is your chastity. It's all precious things. My husband and I didn't even kiss on the lips until I was about to leave china (even though he kissed me on the cheek a bunch) , essentially at the end of a 3 month time period was when he first kissed me, and that's when he proposed to me. But, it's your decision what you do, I just would greatly appreciate if you take these aspects into consideration. You need to be cherished and to cherish someone. And lots of times people have sex in a relationship because they love that person, but when they do they form a bond and connection with that person that will be even more painful when severed. Plus there are risks to having sex while dating, like STDs, pregnancy could happen (even with protection it's not entirely impossible), and so on. At 5 months I wouldn't know a guy enough and be committed enough to surrender myself completely to him. I've only ever been with my husband, and while we were dating I wouldn't have offered myself to him, not cause I didn't love him, but because of personal Spiritual reasons/convictions. But yeah, no matter what your decision is, God bless you and have a good day friend! 😊 you are awesome.

  • He can’t use you for sex if you WANT to have sex. Don’t have sex if you don’t want to. You can wait five years you will still feel used if it isn’t something you want to do.

    you are not having sex for him you are Having sex for you. He is having sex for him. And if you care for each other you will share it.

    as long as you are asking what the calculation is , you are not ready to have sex in general and are not feeling secure with the guy.

    Anyhow.. me I’d wait at least a year for intercourse Bc I like to take my time. If I was worried he was a player I wouldn’t be dating him. When I’m going to have sex with someone I’m not doubting doing it Bc I want to for myself.

    I don’t worry About being used Bc someone can’t use me by doing something I want. Rape is what I worry about. Someone trying to force me to do what I don’t want. That’s why I wait. I wait until I feel complete trust physically.

    But most people think that is too long. I don’t care. 🤷‍♀️😊

    • Congratulations on your boy , pretty lady 🌹🌹

    • Thank you by the way i was just curious about this because this is something that I’ve never asked before and I’m confused about but I don’t think that i will do that I’ve never been that way

    • I didn’t mean to assume I was speaking generally 😊 You really have a very accessible calculator.. your own comfort level 🌟

  • i'll just say this. any guy that's interested wants to have sex. determining how much he likes you is the factor in keeping him long term. a lot of the time for some guys, the goal is reached and they move on.

    i like to make sure i develop feelings for someone before sex. if you're sure you both have them then it should be ok. it's always been a heartbreaking experience for me

    • I’m sorry :( why has it been a heartbreaking experience for you?

    • it never has. but if you give your penis to a girl it should be special. it always has been for me, so it hurts when she's done with it. this is how i know the penis doesn't make the relationship. if only her heart was a vagina

  • A guy who uses women will use you regardless of the sexual timeline. The solution is not to arbitrarily delay sex. It's to choose better men, period.

    • This guy has it. Give this muthafucka the MHO

  • When you are younger, as you are, the wait time should be a few months at least. I'd say 2-3 months minimum, and probably 6 months max. As you get older and have more experience with men and dating, it will be easier for you to figure out what the guy is after, and waiting so long won't be necessary - you'll gradually reduce the wait time. But I recommend that you never go below the third date - that's a widely accepted standard for experienced daters, because it still tells the guy that you have boundaries and impulse control, and that's important to most guys if they're considering being in a relationship with you.

    • I don’t understand... Why would a guy agree to sleep with a woman before a time that he thinks would indicate her impulse control.. if her impulse control is important to him , wouldn’t his own be a concern as well? Why Would this Even be a situation?

    • @VIVANT Because it's not equal. Most men (not all, certainly, but a majority) aren't going to turn down sex if they can get it - anymore than a starving person is likely to turn down a hot meal - but men also aren't the gatekeepers of sex - women are. Men are instinctually programmed to "spread their seed", and we're perfectly happy to have casual sex with most any woman who is physically attractive to us and is willing. Putting us in charge of deciding whether or not to have sex is putting the mouse in charge of the cheese. I get that this is a double-standard and seems hypocritical, but the fact is that men and women have very different roles in this process. Men want sex, and women want a relationship. Okay, both want the other thing too, but it's a lower priority to them compared to their primary priority. Men are reluctant to get into a relationship because - with the exception of sex - we don't get many benefits but we must accept a HUGE amount of responsibility, liability, limits, and expectations - PLUS, we have to be vulnerable, and that's something men spend their entire lives avoiding, so we're very reluctant to be voluntarily vulnerable. We have to have a great amount of trust, and so we look at the woman's boundaries and impulse control to see if we can trust her. If she has sex with us too quickly, we'll take the sex, but she won't get a relationship from us. That's just how it works. Knowing that, you have to make smart decisions to get what you want.

    • No. All due respect that sounds like crap. If someone Seriously cares About Impulse control They should have the Will to apply it to themselves.. What kind of nonsense is that for a guy who pretends to care about will power but has none himself. I am of course careful about Sex. Bc I care about who I have sex with. Not Bc I am trying to prove myself to a hypocrite. I don’t trust people who Would refuse to ascribe to themselves what they ascribe to others.. I think most people feel similarly with most things Bc it’s reasonable. Having an urge Does not mean you should not control it. We don’t shot on the street. It might come quite naturally if it wasn’t taboo. Men spread seed women have babies but no one is doing That on birth control, so it is irrelevant. Humans use their brains to Make decisions. Not their genitalia. These Endless Justification for men to sleep around Bc they have to sutras seed while they are using confirms, just sounds silly. Obviously sex will just be sex eventually... “waiting There dates “ is supposed to have some intrinsic meaning now, yet would have a woman burnt at the stake a few hundred years ago. And stoner today in some cultures.. Things change. 🤷‍♀️ {I understand you are speaking in generality so I’m not directing this at you. I’m speaking generally }

  • There has to be a level of knowledge about the other person as well as trust before you engage in sex, ideally. The general problem is people act on the lowest common denominator: chemistry and attraction. Those two can occur immediately based on what you see and how you feel immediately. I think you won't regret engaging in sex with a person you trust, know and want to share love/intimacy with. But chemistry and attraction occur when you have nothing in common, no trust, knowledge or love. It's more difficult to find love through sex. Easier the other way around.

  • For me? Anywhere from 6 months to 9 months to a year. I need to feel in love and be in a longterm relationship to wipe off some of the guilt i’ll have for having done it before marriage

  • What does “easy” sex mean? I think the question you should be asking is, am I having sex with the right person—not whether for how long should I or they make it easy to have sex.

    • Easy is a term for a girl that gives sex to anyone like it’s easy to get her in bed that’s what easy means

  • The right guy won't judge you for either choosing to wait or for sleeping with them on the first date. It is your body, you are also allowed to enjoy sex. It should be when you want and when you're comfortable. If he doesn't want to wait, he doesn't deserve you. The same goes for if he thinks you're "easy" because you slept with him earlier into your relationship. Trust me, you wouldn't want to be with a guy who has that mindset anyways because they often don't know how to please a woman solely on the reason they don't see women as equals sexually.

    • I agree 👍🏻👍🏻

  • You said until you’re comfortable. Who cares about the guy? Plenty of men are easy themselves: a woman can’t be the only one whose easy if the man did the same.

    • You wait until you’re comfortable

  • It shouldn't take 5 months to figure out if you really like somebody and trust them.

  • Depends on the people. I married my wife less than two months after meeting her. And most of that time we were separated because I was in the military. Some relationships would go bad if you got intimate in less than several months. So obviously our relationship was special because we really clicked and understood each other.

  • I don't think of it as being easy that's the furthest thing from my mind ,, for me the moment I put eyes on u i feel you I start to read you with every word you speak out loud there are top 10 silent words you have said I'm an Empath so from the moment we meet we are talking with each other ,,, even when no speaking with in the first he of meeting I can tell you all about you , and if you listen you can do the same we all can ,,, for you tho I will say this wait five or six months don't do it to try to keep the guy do it because u are ready when your ready and understanding your doing it because u want to weather the relationship works or doesn't work

  • Guys will respect a woman much more when she has sex when it feels right, rather then by a calendar or by how many dates. Of course things are a bit different when your young. For adults, the "sex" date is usually the 3rd - 5th. I had a couple where it was the 2nd, I had one where we had sex instead of a 1st date. But in that one, we had texted like 2-3 hrs a night for almost a week. We knew each other better then someone on their 10th date.

  • Wait what you instinctively think is the best for you. A guy really interested will wait for you.

    • @Madison2628 ?

  • I second what another guy said here: "A guy who uses women will use you regardless of the sexual timeline. The solution is not to arbitrarily delay sex. It's to choose better men, period."
    .. and 86 that excuse where women ask how are they supposed to know what kind of guy he is. The thing is, women usually do know what they're getting themselves into, but they go along anyway because they can't help but want the guy for the attributes he's attracted them with. Wealthy, good looks, etc. Women are very intuitive. They can conveniently tell when some random guy likes them, so they can go giggle about it with their friends, but can't tell when a jerk is playing cool to get in their pants? Nah. They know. They just go in hoping it can be more.

    • I really don’t know anything because i am naive as hell and have zero experience in everything

    • Try tapping into your gut. Your inner intuition, instincts, when judging people. It may help.

  • I'm seeing a girl right now who's "taking it slow", and if she wasn't on her period we would have had sex on the 4th date. Most guys would consider 1-2 "easy" I would assume

  • it doesn’t matter. no matter if u make him wait a day , 9 months , 90 days. it doesn’t matter. how he feels about you now before sex is going to be the same after. and ultimately that will tell u what kinda ends guy he is. and u can then decide if u want to keep messing w him or seeing him or whatever the case maybe

  • Keep telling him only after marriage if he asks but if he gets annoyed or starts trying to find other ways then he is there only for sex since he isn't patient enough and doesn't like you for just who you're but I'm so not denying that sex is important but it's better way to find out since marriage can take a while and impatient guys wouldn't wait

  • There's no set guideline for this. Barnes & Noble doesn't carry a "Dating & Copulation Guide For Dummies" (I looked). It's when you both are ready. Could be one date, could be a few dozen.

    My rule is when you're comfortable talking about sex, you're probably ready to have sex. It always amazes me when people say they don't like telling their partner what they do doesn't work, or they want to try a kink/fetish but don't want to seem "weird".

    • Just to clarify, talking about sex doesn't mean bragging. A woman trying to convince me that she can make a man orgasm just by flexing her vaginal muscles or a guy claiming he's been gifted with the "Penis Of Power" is bragging. Talking is your likes or dislikes about sex. Be honest. If/when you do decide to have sex, your partner might surprise you in a good way. I have done this. Totally worth the effort.

  • If a guy is really interested in you the last thing on his mind is sex tbh. That is how I tell if someone could be "the one" because I like them so much for who they are that I dont even consider sex to be on my mind. It will happen naturally trust your instinct.
    Most of my mates relationships they tell me that they dont have sex with a woman till near the one year mark but everyone is different I guess.

  • PM me about this

  • If it feels right i don't see what u would date more than a few dates

  • If a guy likes you, he likes you. The only way to find out is by being yourself and finding out.

    Some guys only want sex and will leave you after you have sex with them. Some guys want to date you AND have sex. So if you wait too long, they’ll move on to a girl who likes sex as much as they do.

    The only guys you’ll attract while doing the time test are guys who either have low sex drives, are virgins or like men but don’t know it yet. Most heterosexual men want a sexual relationship. The respectful ones who also respect themselves will respect your wish to wait by moving on to a girl who isn’t afraid to take risks. The ones who don’t respect you will use every trick in the book to make you change your mind.

    Stop playing games. Be yourself. Everyone gets hurt looking for love. You only hurt yourself by hiding. If you enjoy sex, have sex. But don’t make it something that glues your relationship together.

    If you have to make a guy wait to have sex with you to keep him, you might not be a very interesting person.
