Guys, when should a girl you are going out with tell you she doesn't want to get too sexual too soon?

- If she is never or very less into any sexual activities, then please let me know right from the start. It makes things much easier because my sex-drive is higher than average for my age. Simply because sexuality belongs into my relationships I form with women.
For me, as I understand women, they need an emotional "connection" (not the demi-way) to a male, means their emotions need to be answered with emotions from the male and not just the good XOR the bad ones, simply all. Then they want sex later on. It is okay with me, as I'm not purely for sex with her but sure it belongs naturally into such relationship (I'm heterosexual, high sex-drive).
Those who want sex to fast are maybe only after it or needy or both. And those can hurt women's emotions a lot, like it happened with an African lady I dated before my current girlfriend. She was used for sex only and he even didn't care for the child/birth-giving and would welcome abortion to continue have sex from her. She lost a lot trust in males then.
At this point, I can understand women, not wanting to have sex so soon. It is (also to me and maybe others, too) very intimate and very personal to do it. I'm not sticking my penis into a "glory hole" (still a female is behind the wall) or a sex-robot but I'm physically connected to a female.1|00|0Is this still revelant?How can I explain it else? Some demi-sexual humans find it important to have an emptional connection to someone. While this physical seen only exists by kissing, touching each other or making love to each other (touch again), while nature doesn't give us telepathy for making a brain-to-brain (mind-to-mind) connection and let us share the emotions (might be possible to transfer?) humans have in my opinion some attraction/appeal to each other because what we emotionally feel for someone else (like brother-love, sister-love and also romantical love with your love partner).
I guess that is what demi-sexuals (the connection branch, not the hard-to-fall-in-love branch) call a "connection" here.- Show All Show Less
- I agree with @AustinMan but I would like to add that relationships are built on open and honest communication, and it's better if you set expectations early, but also show that progress is happening. Most guys who are looking for a relationship will be okay as long as there is some progression and as long as they understand what she is thinking.
Guys don't want to be used - for their time, attention, or money - anymore than girls want to be used for sex, so both are going to be a little uncertain at first, but some honest communication will go a long way to make both sides feel more comfortable and confident.1|40|0Is this still revelant?oh yeah, of course. I would make sure to show him that things are moving forward, I don't want to waste my time either.
True! My girlfriend and I exchanged likes and dislikes and habits very early, even in sexuality and, boy, am I glad we are on the the same wave!

- you should tell him at the moment when and if he is getting too sexual for your liking.1|20|0Is this still revelant?
I asked her several times (not in a row) if it is okay to talk about sex (Salt'N'Pepper!) and she agreed. So it is wise to have an open and honest communication. Sex is very intimate and very personal, even some people ease about that fact.

061- Below is a My Take that supports your position. What if you sit him down, away from all the making out, and just tell him that you need to see if the two of you can establish a strong emotional connection before sex goes on the table. Now this implies that you'll go through with it.
www.girlsaskguys.com/share-your-take?id=592021|30|0@Dargil I see questions all the time asking if she should text him, reach out to him, tell him she wants more. In a word, the general answer is no. The reason is a bit complicated but once you understand it, I hope you’ll see the wisdom in it.
Relationships at any level, be it friends, friends with benefits, lovers, or a couple is based on each party having an emotional investment in the relationship. This leads to an axiom a friend told me in college that has served me very, very well:
Your commitment to a relationship is proportional to your investment in it and NOT your profit from it.
Think about that. I found this to be both true and profound. It summed up how a huge number of relationships go off the rails. One party gets significantly more invested and therefore more committed than the other and ends up ofttimes getting hurt.- Show All Show Less
So how do people emotionally invest in a relationship? With their time, energy, attention, and to a lesser degree money. When a woman meets a man she likes, she will often flirt and do other things to encourage him. That’s investment that’s largely one sided. She’s investing and he’s not, hence things are out of balance. To get them back in balance, he needs to invest. Men invest more than any other way through pursuit. Men also invest my doing things for her, be it helping her with something physically a bit beyond her comfort level, like moving a piece of furniture to helping her with her computer to asking her on a date. Yes, asking is an investment. There’s risk in asking early on that she’ll say no so when he asks, he’s investing. Simply put, make him work for it.
Maybe the way the investments get out of balance is early sex. When a couple has sex too early in a relationship, very often she’s much more invested because physical intimacy is much more emotional for women than men. There are lots of exceptions for this but generally it’s true. He’s there for the good time and really enjoys the physical aspects but often times doesn’t invest emotionally. That’s why we see men pursue a woman just enough to get her in bed and then move on. She’s all invested and he’s virtually absent any investment.Bottom line, take things a bit more slowly and deliberately. Gauge how much you’re invested versus how much they seem to be and if there’s a disparity, fix it before you move on.
I see questions all the time about how long should we wait to have sex. I always reply that it’s not about time. It’s about emotional connection, aka investment. When the connection is strong enough, sex will be on the table but before, the risk of imbalance and failure is very high.
- Asap and be very clear. Don’t tell a guy you don’t want to rush Into sex when you really mean you’re
1. Asexual
2. Sex isn’t important to you
3. You dont like or want sex
For me, I would want to know what her stance is on sex and what it means to her in a relationship. Does she have sex to connect emotionally/physically? Or does she have sex because ‘that’s what people do in relationships’.
Be on the same page with that topic. If I was dating a girl who loved sex but wanted to wait, I’d respect it and wait. If she used sex as a tool to “keep” me or did it because she felt obligated, I wouldn’t want to be with her.
Tell him what sex means to you and learn what it means to him. Sex is a very important part of relationships and people take it way too lightly.1|10|0I enjoy sex and it's important to me, I am none of those reasons you listed, I simply don't want to get used for sex only and if a guy sticks around it means he likes me and spending time with me in other ways than sex so he is someone I could be in a relationship in
You should be open and clear about that versus testing him. Just my personal experience. Tell him that you a guy that wants something more with you besides sex. That’s when you’ll find out where his head at.
Guys either like you or they don’t. The trick is, if you’re with a guy who has a good head in his shoulders and you don’t have sex without telling him specifically
“Hey. I don’t want to have sex early because I’m afraid of being used. I want something real.”
The good men will get the idea that you don’t like “him” or you aren’t attracted to “him”. He’ll respectfully move on without begging or trying to pressure you. If all you say is “let’s wait” you’re leaving too much room for imagination. Remember this guy is human like you. He had fears, insecurities and needs too. This is me. If I’m really into a girl but she repeatedly sexually rejects me, it makes me feel unwanted and indesirable (to her). Sex is how I connect. If I can’t give a girl my body, I don’t feel like I’m “hers”. It doesn’t feel real. I’m sure I’m not the only guy who feels this way.
If the guy is just trying to have sex with you, you’re just another number. He can either wait it out while getting with other women or give up and find someone else.
Communicate your wants and needs. Be honest with yourself and the guy you date. Don’t test. Be open. Yes. He may not be into you and move on if you say “I want a guy who wants more than sex. I want something serious.” But that saves you both time and heartbreak.
It's always better when it's on a mental level It's more sensual and passionate when there's actual real love feeling the tingling feeling from head to toe. Slowly working from lips down her phora play foreplay is the best instead of just rushing. It makes you feel more loved and more enjoyable. Then enjoy all the other things in life as well.

" “Hey. I don’t want to have sex early because I’m afraid of being used. I want something real.”

First of all I would never say it like that. I'd just tell him I want to get to know him more. And I'm not testing anyone, it's all about making a connection mentally before we do physically, cause sometimes if the sex is good people get confused if they really like the person or if they're just infatuated. And no, if I tell it like that the good men will understand that I just don't want to rush into sex, I still want sex with them just not immediately, if I still date the guy they know I am attracted to them, it's not a friendzone if I kiss them and have some kind of physical contact.
''If the guy is just trying to have sex with you, you’re just another number. He can either wait it out while getting with other women or give up and find someone else.'' wait it out? with other women the whole time? I would see through that quickly, and that's why waiting is good, repels guys like this away from me. The way you describe this conversation, yes, a lot of guys would get scared away, but I would make it clear to them that sex and intimacy is very important and enjoyable to me, I just never do it right away. So they would know I am attracted to him, but if they wanna run and don't have patience, good riddins.I’m speaking from experience. I’ve had girls throw fits when I decided to move on when things didn’t progress past friendship. For me, if there’s no intimacy, it feels like a formal relationship. I dated a girl who flat out told me she didn’t like kissing. I had to move on because intimacy is a need for me. She went psycho.
Girls connect emotionally then physically and for a lot of guys it’s the opposite. I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding between both sexes and that’s why I think being direct and honest is the best way to make things work. You can’t assume how an individual will interpret you being direct but being indirect is a sure way to confuse someone.
It’s just my personal experience. You don’t have to take my advice. But I will say the best relationships I’ve been in were ones where the two of us were direct and had solid communication.
If you tell me, I want to wait until we’re connected mentally, isn’t that subjective? I could feel a strong mental connection to you while you might not while on the other hand, you literally wrote about not wanting to be used. I can feel deeply in love with a girl and want to make love but if she doesn’t express it in a way I can receive it (making love) then I’ll feel emotionally/sexually rejected. That would discourage me from letting myself fall deeper for her.
Keep in mind everyone isn’t compatible. I’m probably not compatible with a girl who has to wait a really long time before she gets sexual. You might not be compatible with a guy who can’t go a long time without sex. You can’t find these things out without being honest and direct. I’m not saying just jump into bed with a guy.
Just tell him you don’t want to be used and you want a guy that wants YOU not just the physical. There are guys out here who want both physical and mental chemistry. People just aren’t direct because they’re afraid of rejection. Being direct is the fastest way to find “the one”. Everything else slows the process down.
In no way am I saying just jump into bed with him. What I’m saying is understand your relationship needs and communicate it to him while at the same time learning what his are. I’ve seen a lot of girls hold sex like it’s an ancient key. If a guy likes you he will stay no matter what, granted, you’re able to meet his needs. Sex is a need for some people. You could miss out on a great guy out of fear of being used. That’s why I say just tell him what you wrote here.
There is a difference between friendship and a relationship. While you are waiting for sex you can still kiss them, hold them, have intimacy not as intense as sex but it's still there. And I never said it takes a very long time to get sexual, I just said I want to feel like I know him and have some kind of connection, this does not have to take months. And I don't believe men, or anyone need sex in order to feel the connection. This is what I mean when people get confused by sex and stop thinking straight, they become overwhelmed with lust and don't think straight anymore, emotional and mental bond does not require sex first no matter if you're male or female, men are just less likely to agree cause they always crave sex.
There’s a difference between lust and love. You’re correct. You can get confused and attached for the wrong reasons. But look up leading causes of divorces and you’ll see lack of intimacy in there. It’s more important than most people realize.
You are talking as if I would never have sex with the guy. The idea is not have it immediately. Sex is important to the relationship and I would have it when I feel close to the guy. Why are you mentioning those married couples? If a girl has sex with you soon after you start dating does not mean sex life will be good years in advance. If a girl waits to have sex it does not mean it's not important to her, quite the opposite, it's important but she just wants to do it with the right person
I’m loving this discussion and like your perspective. I mention the married couples to put emphasis on how important sex is in terms of bonding. If people who’ve been together for years split over it, it’s not hard to see why it could do the same for a new relationship. It’s just not looked at the same because of the tone factor but it’s the same concept.
My point isn’t “have sex” whenever. My point is communicating what sex means to you and why you wait to your partner, so they understand and wait for the right reasons opposed to hoping one day you change your mind or giving up because he feels you don’t like him the way he likes you.
Again this is my personal experience. Everything is easier when everyone is direct and honest. I learned it during my third serious relationship. Communication is really important. Not just with sex but in general. When the communication is solid you learn how to love eachother the best way you both are able to perceive love. It’s different for everyone. I was just saying it’s better to just talk about sex and understand what it means to one another because even by telling him that, he will be able to understand “you” better and connect with you in the way that’s best for you and vice versa.
- I'd say first date or beforehand. When I'm dating I take a shotgun approach and put time into talking to multiple women online. If we're not clicking on the first or second date, it's a waste of time and energy I could be expending elsewhere and other options have likely come up by then.
Not all guys take that approach, and I'm up front with women I'm talking to or dating that I am. You and I would be an awful match for instance, as you'd think of me as a horn-dog, and I'd think of you as a prude. Other guys who think differently would be your target there.
You might be better saying that beforehand, that it isn't 1st, 2nd, or 3rd date that you're sleeping with them, it's if and when you feel comfortable, and that will probably take a while. Or run the risk of dating a guy like me, hell, I showed up to one date, it felt off, she was going on about something, I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck this, and just left. Felt too forced.1|00|1 - Within the first few dates.. That having been said if you have an arbitrary amount of time rather than just going with the flow and being cautious, that's a red flag to me..
For example, I dated someone years ago, and she told me she would do anything sexual for 6 months, like she had a specific date... That was off-putting, not because of the time, it's because it was planned out and orchestrated. It showed me she was controlling.. I didn't have to break up with her either.. She decided to have a girls night, and decided to bring a few guys home to bang.. It's like so you're making me wait 6 months but you will take randos home to fuck.. Hell no...1|10|0that story sounds made up af, based on some stupid stereotype guys like to put on girls these days
It wasn't made up, but believe as you wish.. Her name was Amanda, this was in west Virginia.. And I'm still friends with her dad.. But hey believe as you wish..
well if this is a real story and from then on you decided if a girl waits it's a red flag, keep in mind that some girls wait because they also had bad experiences with guys who used them for sex or they discovered some things about that guy after they had sex so they regretted it, so they wait to protect themselves not to lead someone on
- Show All Show Less
It's not if she decides to wait. Please reread my comments. It's if she has an arbetrary time to wait. I don't mind taking it slow, I don't even mind waiting 6 months, I have issues when she says "no sex for 6 months" and gives no reason.
It's an artificial thing to do, I'm a go with the flow kind of guy. If it feels right than so be it, if it does not, than it doesn't happen.. But placing an artificial block on something like that screams control freak. Don't want that in my life..You're right about the waiting thing.. If I go on a date, and she goes for sex on the first date that's also a huge red flag to me.. Like maybe I'm a booty call.. I can't do that.. I need to at least get to know you, and care about you before we go that far...
I guess I need to make better choices when picking guys, or perhaps it's some vibe I'm giving off that they think they can just get me drunk and I'll give it up, or they go completely opposite and think I'm some kind of virgin. Let's hope I meet some who agree on getting to know eachother first
No I totally get that. My wife and I didn't have sex until we were two months in.. That was my decision by the way... We met at a concert, she was in no condition to drive, so I crashed on my couch, even though she really wanted it, I said no.. I don't do stuff like that when alcohol is involved.
I mean the one from your story! And all luck and love for your marriage! Be open and honest and yourself, best advice.
- If you are spending time as you should on the first few dates in public then it doesn’t need to be verbalized. However once it’s clear you are connecting and there is some sexual tension you will likely plan or end up making out in a private space. Whether that’s a date cooking dinner at his house or finding a semi private hammock on a beach; that’s when it is appropriate for both people to clearly that with words their sexual/physical barriers. One night I was making out on my couch with someone and she clearly said ‘ I am comfortable keeping everything above the waist tonight’. I agreed and it was great because I didn’t have to worry about breaking her comfort zone.
Any concerns with using your words when you can tell the possibility of private sexual activity is around the corner?1|20|0 - You can tell him whenever you feel like. I would only tell you not to bother too much about it. It's just in your head. The guy isn't even thinking that much maybe.
He is only moving with the flow. When he has sex in his mind, you'll know and that's when you can put across the red signal (only if that's the most appropriate option)
Personally, it's kind of hard to stop when you've gone past the first base haha. End of the day, it's your game. Play it the way you like. No judgements. I wish you all the good luck in life :)1|00|0 - I would be upfront with that. As soon as possible really. I understand that the first date you may not be sure that your gonna stick with him yet, but as soon as you can make it know that you want to take your time before you have sex, give him a reason why too, tell him you want to know him personally before sex, or that you like letting the tension build. But if your up front about it it will save you and him time, because if he's just looking to get laid he can get lost and leave you be.1|20|0
- First of all don't feel self-conscious about bringing this up. Even if it's an awkward conversation, the uncomfort of the conversation will be magnitudes less than if it lead to something that made you actually uncomfortable.
My advice is to bring it up the next time things get intimate. Just casually ask if he's ok to take things slow until you feel ready. I think most guys are used to this kind of request. If he isn't, or pressures you just ditch him.
Most women need an emotional connection with their partner to be aroused. This may seem obvious but there was a long time that I did not understand this.1|00|0 - I wouldn't go there unless he asks. If it reaches a point where he thinks it's time to consummate your relationship and you still don't feel ready, then have that conversation. Hopefully, though, you'll get to know him well enough to trust him and feel comfortable creating the ultimate bond.
It's nice that he is being respectful and isn't pressuring you but it would be a red flag if he isn't anxious to have sex. Hopefully you, yourself, will be anxious to have sex at some point.1|10|0I noticed your 66 I was just wondering is sex really the ultimate bond? Like you mentioned.
@driver101, I've been married now for 23 years so the ultimate bond between my wife and I is no longer sex. We've been through a lot together and our love is deeper than sex. But sex is still important.
With all my girlfriends, from the time I was 16, though, sex was my main motivator. I wouldn't have dated any of them for long if they weren't sexual. I mean, I had lots friends and aquaintences, but the idea of dating a woman just for her personality doesn't make sense. I wouldn't NOT want to be friends with her if we weren't having sex, but I wouldn't go on dates or do things exclusively with her. I'd be looking for an actual girlfriend.
Let me get back to your question. When I said "ultimate bond", I only meant that sex is as far as you can go with someone. It's like the end goal for both parties. It's giving yourself completely.
I didn't mean to imply that it was a guarantee of life until death do you part or "then they lived happily ever after". But you don't have much of a relationship unless it includes sex. And why would anyone even want a relationship without the best sex they could imagine? Why not experience physical bliss, yourself, and provide it to your partner? It's the best thing in life. And if it's good, it does create an incredibly powerful bond.For clarity, I should have said,
I had lots friends and acquaintances *that I could hang out and do things with, but...*- Show All Show Less
That's true, roland77. Plus, she is the best friend I've ever had and we trust each other completely.
But when we were dating, I wouldn't have stuck with her without sex. Lack of sex means lack of trust.Very true! Sex is all about trust and intimacy, sad to see some ("friends with benefits", ONS, hookups=sex-only datings) seem to forget that fact.
@Porcelaine, I wholeheartedly agree with your desire to get to know each other well and form a bond before having sex, as opposed to having sex right away with every guy you date. But don't wait too long.
The thing is, sex will not guarantee that a relationship will last, but withholding sex will guarantee that it won't last.
When you do have sex, do it because you want to, not just to make him happy. In other words, do it because you are horny for him and want to be pleasured from head to toe. Two people seeking to pleasure themselves as well as each other at the same time is what it's all about. Your guy will be in heaven if he knows that he is doing it right.yes, I agree with all of this, me withholding it is not an attempt to make the relationship last and I wouldn't have sex just to please someone, I need to want it too
- Tricky. If you are too upfront about it, it may negate all thoughts men might have of their own sex appeal - or some may take it as an invitation to a challenge. But if you are too late they might think they weren't being taken seriously from the start and, having not been able to tell the difference, stop trusting you.
I'd say just don't mention it. If sex isn't a priority for you then you'll want a guy who also doesn't make it a priority. Otherwise one of you will certainly end up cheating on the other.0|10|0that's a lot of jumping to conclusions. sex is important to me I just don't want to rush and do it with someone I barely know
... I'm saying whatever priority you place on sex, it's less than the priority you place on whatever your reasons are for not having sex. That's not really "jumping" to conclusions, just arriving at them normally.
See, for guys sex tends to be the top priority. But each person feels ambition differently. So, you'll want to be sure that he wants it as much as you do, or one of you is going to be disappointed.Top priority? So those type of guys aren't into relationships. Sex is important to me, it would be a part of the relationship after I feel something towards him, it's not a priority for me right from the start because sex messes with peoples heads, if the chemistry is good in bed people tend to think they like that person more than they actually do, and then it takes months for that to fizzle out and actually show true colors

That's the trouble. Those types of guys are into relationships, if they think it will get the, laid. And if you basically set a date after which you'll start accepting requests for sex, they'll know they only have to wait it out.
- Usually you start off as acquaintances and then progressing to friendship. When desire strikes you analyze and see if you are on the same page. There is no time schedule and you go as it goes. If you're feeling hot or attracted stimulated etc then the more patient you are the better the result regardless if it's the response you wanted or not. But at least you went accordingly no force no embarrassment no shame. Be right and it should work fine for everyone.1|00|0
I agree with this, that's the ideal situation, you meet someone, get to know them, become friends and then move forward
- Anonymous1 yThe conversation would need to be by date 2 or maybe 3, probably 2, because otherwise I will be misinterpreting her singles. Without the conversation, her slowing things down would be a sign she's simply not interested, and a message to me to move on. If she wants me to know that she IS physically interested but wants to delay it, she needs to tell me, so I can decide whether to trust her or not. If she doesn't say anything, I'd just take it as rejection and move on.1|20|0
I wouldn't be slowing things down, the things would be going forward just not right away
- Opinion Owner1 y
But I'd normally be escalating. Maybe not that far on date 2, but by date 3, 4, 5 I'd be escalating and I think that's pretty normal for 'dating path' people who are past early 20s. So if a woman is going to be declining physical attempts to escalate, but just wants to slow down, she should say so.
To be really clear - it's not about whether I 'can' wait. I can certainly wait a long time if the right connection is going to be there. But past experience has told me NOT to wait for things that are never coming. I'm basically skeptical about being sexually compatible with most women, so I'm not okay with just waiting assuming that will work itself out later. Given that, I like a lot of men take a woman's level of sexual interest and enthusiasm early as the best sign I've got on both how into me she is, and what our chemistry/compatibility would be like in the long term. True, else you wait until you die and it was a waste of time, energy (to change her mind: "No, not so fast! I love you.") and money.
- I can wait yes, if the girl don't want it, then i feel it pointless to have sex.
But it would be a frustration.
I may have to help myself as a substitute, i am not sure it is so healthy.
If i wait for ages, i may give up on that girl, too cold won't suit to me.0|00|0 - Man in my opinion, just wait till she's ready! 😂😂 I mean just get to know her first, become more comfortable with her and then when she's feeling it give her some of your love nectar bro. But real talk, I'd wait about 7 to 9 months before even asking that question1|00|0
Good. A real man. Not pushing the girl just to satisfy himself. Just don't wait too long. Make sure she is not only ready but actually wants to get close and you are not waiting in vain
- Happens when it happens. You shouldn't put some timetable on it like it's a appointment for the dentist. Whenever both involved are comfortable is the right time. Good communication with each other is key.1|10|0
- When he reaches for your goodies i'd say. A date is just that. There should never be any implied expectations beyond that i don't care what ridiculous arbitrary date rules people say they are. If she says "no". That means "NO". Get it fellas. If you can't handle that move on!1|10|0
- I chose other, because sex must come after marriage, also they should be thankfull that your letting them touching you and kissing...
Only a boyfriend in a serious relationship can touch you and kiss you but sex should be reserved for the honeymoon which is after marriage, if your not his wife than he have no rights to have sex with you or see you naked. That's my opinion.1|00|0 - Hands down, when it feels right ! Communication is the key, talk about it when it feels right , stick to your guns, at holding off , !
Especially Young men. Most are trying to notched on their belts , make it's right, and dam sure do t let the other pressure You !1|00|0 - People should never be pressured in to things they don't want to do as that is bullying.
Always good to talk openly about what you want from each other shame not all can1|00|0 - I used to care a lot but eventually I realized that girls are always going to want to wait longer than I'm wanting to wait so it doesn't matter. I already know what's coming so just say it when you feel like.1|20|0
- With in the first few dates. Dating is designed to figure out what each side wants out of the relationship. Full blown relationship is a heavy investment in time and energy. I would want to find out sooner rather than later that her intentions are to use me as a body count.
I want something that lasts: I don't want a Ferrari, I prefer a Volkswagen.0|10|0this is very confusing. so within the first few dates because you don't want to be used as body count or because relationships are investment in time and energy?
I agree here, because those "Ferrari" women are expensive in maintenance (luxury) but the regular ("Volkswagen" type) is just, you know, awesome!
- Definitely want to be open about it. Timing is tricky, but don't think just because a guy is respectful means he won't want to get sexual soon if he doesn't realize you don't want to.1|20|0
- The guy needs to know fairly early on, though not right away. He needs to understand the parameters of a relationship with you, and to be fair to him, he needs to know soon.1|00|0
- Because it is only fair. If you keep rushing into something it won't be worth it. You want the special moment the last switching every time. Take the time to learn about each other.
It won't hurt either one of you. As a matter of fact, in most cases, you'll find out that it is going to be more satisfying. Take your time to love. Let it build up. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.1|00|0 - If he makes some sort of move in that direction, then it is time to tell him. Earlier than that if you feel it is the right thing to do.1|10|0
- I've had girls do that and it's when the time is right, around 2nd date or so when we are in a safe space.1|10|0
- You should make it clear immediately, and if you use dating apps, it should be in your profile that you want to take it slow and aren't looking for hookups, etc.1|10|0
Yes, I had it with #Okcupid that I routinely exclude women with: a) fake "straight women" (actually being a trans woman), b) Anything else than LTR as I'm in it exclusively when it comes to women, c) being a feminist (3.0), d) smoking/drugging/clubbing e) lower sex-drive than me. And maybe some more I cannot remember.
- I would say within the first few dates would be best with things like this it's best that everyone is on the right page with communication1|10|0
- When all chemistry is there. It's very hard to fight off. If it's that strong. It should be super explosive and enjoyable long-lasting and probably going to be a long-term thing.1|00|0
That sounds like lust, which is awesome but you need more than that for it to last long term
I waited a month before I tried and my girl who I've been with for 10 years now. Was very happy. That I even waited that long. she said every other guy tried like after three dates, and she didn't want to rush.
- Anonymous1 yGirls who say this usually have had a history of quick fucking random guys and just say this as a caveat so they can pretend they have morals while they decide if he is going to do enough or give her enough to deserve pussy. Then when she gives it up within the first few dates or even minutes... she can say “Like, Omg, I never do this” which is an instant indication that she has fucked more random cock than a whore on nickel night.0|00|2

Sex is another part of relationships with others1|10|0 - Told her I don't want sex, after seven years she says to me, "Thanks for wasting my time"0|00|0
Haven't had sex since 1993. I've had 4 relationships all ending the same way. One lasted 7 years, ended in a huge fight! Social media got involved friends, strangers, relatives. I had to bring my exes in on it. To explain, " I don't have sex " SHAZAM! The only girl who won't smile for me is the girl who accuses me
of, " wasting her time "
Nope! Never! But I never say no, just a very busy guy. Shopping, maintenance, work, entertainment. Intimacy scares me specifically the naked truth.well if you tell them from the start you're not gonna have sex with them then it's not a waste of time, if they agree to this they can't complain. but you shouldn't stay away from something so pleasurable just because it scares you, that's not a good reason

I find pleasure in noise, music, motors, tools, even the sound of bicycle tires going over terrain. It's a short story to why I choose abstinence, at first we agree to waiting. After awhile she becomes ready an I still want to wait. My first relationship after I chose to stop, was rather quick because I reminded her of not wanting sex. After coming to the conclusion of never again, will I? I then realized choosing women who don't want sex right away was easier to form friendships with. I've helped a woman become a CEO, also a dancer go to Vegas. And a woman to conquer her fear of body issues, she now looks great and in the best shape of her life. Only the model got mad at me, for reasons yet to my understanding, for not wanting to travel the world with her? Not really sure? She hasn't blocked me, but she deletes anything I comment on.
- Safest to have that conversation as early as possible.1|10|0
- Let us know sooner than later, we aren't mind readers.1|10|0
- Don't say it... if its not obvious what u want.. he isn't the one worth waiting1|00|2
Hmmm, the best type of obvious to me is clear and direct communication. Anything less, in my experience, often lead to misreads and guessing games. We have a responsibility to communicate, not to just intuitively get it right.
- Anonymous1 yTell him immediately and save yourself heartache and him money.0|10|0
Depends on where you date. Hiltons' restaurant or just a simple cafe? ;-) James Bond surely would agree with you.
- I'll tell her to give me a call when she's done playing the silly games and is ready to spread her legs.0|10|0

@dbr1987 me or him? I wouldn't get involved with a guy like that, the warning signs would be all there so I wouldn't get close enough
@dbr1987 I'm quite good at reading people but thanks. And this is the exact reason why I want to wait. Some guys are nice in the beginning, but it's just an act, so the guy who is truly nice is actually gonna stick around
Sluts ruined it for you. I respect your behaviour but easy girls fucked normal ways up. Some girls have fucked it up so bad that guys will think you will play them
@dbr1987 well I can also blame guy players for thinking they will play me if I give it up too soon, there are bad examples of both men and women there is no point in arguing there. even though people here do everyday just look at the feed lol. but still for me the idea of getting to know the guy and finding a connection before getting physical is very appealing, I believe that way sex can be even better after all that buildup... when you have sex before all that it's easy to get confused is the bond you have from intimacy or is there something real between us two
Put out or get out? Something a guy will never say to me since I don't mess around with fuckboys like this lol
I can pretty much guarantee that, if I wanted you, I would be fucking you within an hour of our first meeting.
I heard a lot of that from boys, never actually happened. Within an hour they wouldn't even get my number
- It's should be girl's choice on the first place wheather to have sex or not0|00|1
- Nothing like that. it depends on ur partner. And better be yourself then pretending to be someone else or restricting yourself0|10|0
Honesty and openness has never payed off negatively to form a successful relationship. I hate being lied at. :-(
what? who's pretending? I don't think you understand the question or the reason behind it at all
@Porcelaine Pretending is not good, it gives a false view on your personality. I'm open and honest when it comes to sex but I respect other cultures which might find it offensive talking about sex to soon. Like my African girlfriend told me, it is not common there to talk about sex (in their community).

@roland77 again what does this have to do with the topic or what I said. noone is pretending here
@Porcelaine "Nothing like that. it depends on ur partner. And better be yourself then pretending to be someone else or restricting yourself" There he wrote it. I don't pretend being someone else, if I pretend to want no sex it would hurt me a lot as my sex-drive is very high.
- Whenever she wants to tell me , she can , it's up to her , when she is comfortable about it.1|00|0
- Anonymous1 yIt's not necessary. It would be shown through body signals
The only reason to say it, would be if you felt it was necessary1|10|1 - That's not really an issue for me to be honest.0|00|0
- ASAP! the sooner he knows the better.1|10|0
If you are into ONS and sex-only relationships, then yes. Otherwise talking to soon about sex can be misunderstood and considered as impolite.
I don’t understand how that’s impolite. This just sounds like setting boundaries to me.
It is a cultural thing, some may find it impolite because sex doesn't belong into words for them but into bed. Sure it is setting boundaries and that is very important.

I agree you need to be careful when you bring up sex but I think saying that sex isn’t your thing early on is something you need to address ASAP because that is actually a preference people have.
- Never. You're 28? Stop using sex as a reward.0|00|1
who says it's a reward, I simply want to get to know the guy and build a connection before I just hand myself to him
sex is more than just fun, I can't do it with any guy that comes around, I eed to get to know him first

Gotcha, and that's a good idea. Safety first, right? But not to the point where you rule out an ideal partner. It's up to you to choose wisely. You deserve a good guy and you both deserve a good time.

Maybe sex-topics are intimate? Oh, okay. I see it, I write here on public pages. But nobody knows me personally here. So some "fake half-anonymity" here, or pseudonymity.
