  • Wait till you get comfortable. I started dry humping my girlfriend first. We would do that with clothes on. Then after a couple of dry humps, we went to just having my boxers and her underwear on. Then when we got more comfortable, we had actual sex and it was very comfortable for both of us. By doing this, we avoided the awkwardness of seeing each other naked for the first time. We were kind of used to it already. I had never been so comfortable with a girl before for the first time. It not only made sex comfortable but way more enjoyable.

    • Dry humping sounds awkward

    • It was actually super amazing

  • i think waiting until a connection is established first then having sex, this way there is clear communication, and its not one of the foundations of your relationship. but some people have sex on the first date, to see if they are compatible. but its probably best to do it when you are both comfortable and ready.

  • When you feel like it's time.
    There's no right answer you should get from others. It all depends on yourself. And the person you're with and the nature of the relationship.

    Do it when you feel like you trust them and want to do it with them.

  • Married

  • until your body says so (and mind) could be first date could be marriage and it's ok

  • I wanna wait till I'm officially with him and we're in a committed relationship and truly in love with each other before sex.

  • How long SHOULD you wait for sex? There is no law on that subject. There are some religious dictates. Ultimately, it is your decision to make, in conjunction with your partner, and no one else's decision.

  • The best thing to do is probably to wait until you know it's the right time. Waiting until marriage is great, but it's not always the right time. Some people end up getting married just to have sex. I think if you wait until you know and love each other truly and you know that you want to be with each other for life, then that's likely ideal. Studdies have proven that people are less happy with their life when they don't wait to have sex. I hope this helps.

  • some guys first date, some guy 10 months, some guys never

    • What do you prefer Rachel?

    • @pantyloverr i just said, it depends on the guy

    • Ok lol

  • I think it’s subjective. My opinion is a minimum of 3 healthy months of dating/there’s been a title to the relationship. Personally though for me — seriously commitment relationship or marriage.

  • I would offer the same advice to virgins and whores alike: You should have sex when you want to get off.

  • Until your a couple. Usually the longer the wait (Within reason) the better the relationship.

  • Depends on the girl

  • Until you both want to have sex.

    • Better to wait for marriage than wait for sex. Abstinence until marriage leads to early marriage, and early marriages tend to fail. Anyway you don't want to marry someone if the sex isn't good, and there are no guarantees.

    • People only get married early if they're impulsive. I am not only a meticulous planner, but I'm also a procrastinator. So an early marriage is most certainly not going to happen for me.

  • Depends on the guy

  • Let me turn the question around. How long should you wait for a date? After the first sex? A few? Or why bother with dates when you can just have sex with no strings attached? And who marries anyway? Half of marriages end in divorce. The other half is mostly separation. The few that stay are only staying because of kids/money etc and livetheir lives fighting and arguing all the time. And not enough sex of course. Because you have "headaches".

  • there's no rule. Some of my longest relationships have been after having sex on date 1 or 2. Some of my shortest have been sex on date 5 or more. In my experience the sooner you have sex and spend the night the better. The veil is lifted. After sex you enjoy each other more rather than being fake in anticipation of the goal of sex. there's an earthy authenticity.

  • For me it's always the first date.

  • At least a month to go all the way

  • I will have sex on the first date depending on how things went. But that is just me tho

  • 2nd or 3rd head and shit but sex is more emotional i like to wait 5th but if she wants to idc i dont want her think i won't

  • As long as you want. If you feel comfortable with 1st date, or you wonna wait till marriage or anything in between, it's a personal choice

  • Get it out the way and know where you stand
