Physical Relationship Progression

[Anonymous]

I've searched this site for other questions like this: asking how long to wait before sex. And that was helpful - many answers said it depends on the relationship and the people, but generally the idea of 2-3 months came out.

So what I'm wondering is what is normal for the progression of the relationship before then? Is it 2-3 months for any kind of sex (oral/intercourse)? When does second and third base come into the progression of normal 'adult' relationships? My last real relationship was long and started in high school - everything physical was new so moving really really slowly felt normal. I guess I just don't want to come off as a tease while I'm waiting to feel ready to have sex in my next relationship. I feel I've rushed into casual flings before this and I just would like some advice on a good time line to slow things down so something real can develop.

I agree with Ioddo, it's totally dependent on your relationship and when it feels right. I personally have never waited 2-3months, yet had fulfilling, long term relationships. My only caution would be, don't ever feel pressured. If your not ready to step up a level, so to speak, then wait until you are. There is no recipe for the sexual progression of a relationship, it's about how you both feel.

dont worry about some kind of timeline, just do what you feel like doing and are both comfortable with whenever that might be. no two people are alike, no two relationships. don't measure yours in terms of others, enjoy it for what it is.
