When personal, moral or religious convictions prohibit sex without marriage, then the answer is simple: &#8220;Not until we&#8217;re married.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nFor the vast majority of singles, the issue of when to become sexually intimate is more complicated. Will a man think less of you if you are &#8220;too easy&#8221;? It&#8217;s possible. And what does &#8220;too easy&#8221; mean to him?<\/p>\n<p>Despite the equality gained by women in other areas, sexual equality is at best an &#8220;iffy&#8221; situation. The older the man, the more the possibility he grew up with a &#8220;nice women don&#8217;t&#8221; mentality. In reality, &#8220;nice women&#8221; do. It&#8217;s more a question of &#8220;when.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A second question is &#8220;why.&#8221; Is sex the payback for an expensive evening out? Is it the &#8220;hook&#8221; to force commitment? Are you having sex with him so he&#8217;ll like you? Is it because he pressures for sex? HIV, AIDS and STDs are good reasons to focus on the nature of a relationship before taking it to a physical level.<\/p>\n<p>When should you have sex with someone you&#8217;re dating? Everyone must follow their own moral code when it comes to sexual intimacy. As far as when to have sex with someone you&#8217;re dating, here&#8217;s what I think:<\/p>\n<p>Never on a first date. No matter how strong the attraction, no matter how liberated he thinks he is, if you have sex with him on the first date, he&#8217;ll never believe it&#8217;s the first time you&#8217;ve ever done such a thing, even if it is. He&#8217;ll peg you as easy, not only for him but for anyone you date.<\/p>\n<p>Never on a second date regardless of how insistant he is or how much you&#8217;d like to jump into bed with him. It&#8217;s only one date away from your first date for him to have much respect for you later.<\/p>\n<p>Never on a third date particularly if he suggests by words or actions that it&#8217;s time for a payback for the money he has been spending. If sex is his only motivation for dating you, why sell youself short?<\/p>\n<p>When to have sex with someone you&#8217;re dating is strictly up to you and what I think doesn&#8217;t matter. What you think about yourself is extremely important. Regardless of how long you have been dating someone, if you&#8217;re unable to discuss safe sex techniques and insist that protection be used, then it&#8217;s not the right time for the two of you to have sex. Sex without protection can be deadly.<\/p>\n<p>When to have sex should be your choice, your decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably the biggest and most worrisome issue facing divorced women is the question of what is the right time to have sex with someone they&#8217;re dating.
