Question: What is the longest you would wait to have sex with someone new?

Man Insider:

James

His opinion:

Not very long, to be honest. I guess it depends on how important sex is to you but for me, it’s a very, very important part of a relationship. Don’t think I’m being an asshole; I’m definitely not just out to get some booty from a girl. There is a lot more to having a great relationship than just sex.

But sex is the thing that separates that one person from your other friends…if you’re not compatible sexually then aren’t you just friends, really? (writer’s note: interesting thought, Mr. James) If it’s not going to work out in regards to sex, that’s something I want to know as close to the beginning as possible, before I get too emotionally attached to someone.

Man Insider:

Max

His opinion:

I would wait awhile, if I thought she was really awesome. I think people have sex so quickly now that it really doesn’t mean anything. I mean, most girls would say that guys are the ones who push to have sex as soon as possible but honestly, just as often, it’s the other way around.

I know tons of girls I’ve dated who would’ve been really put off if I had said I wanted to wait to have sex. Hell, I’ve even had a few girls think I wasn’t interested in them because I didn’t try to sleep with them the first night we hung out! I really think that if more people waited to have sex, we might rediscover what romance is all about. I swear I’m not gay. (Writer’s note: being romantic doesn’t make you gay! Spread the word!)

Question: Would you be able to be happy in a relationship where you wouldn’t have sex until you got married?

Man Insider:

Warren

His opinion:

Me personally? Probably not. Well, maybe. It depends on how in love I was I guess. Can I imagine doing that right now? No, not really. I don’t think I’ve ever been so in love with someone that I would sacrifice having sex to be with them.

But then again, my relationships in the past haven’t been that awesome so I definitely hope that one day I’m with someone I care about a lot more than that. Maybe that kind of feeling for someone is enough to give up sex. But right now, it’s hard to imagine. I just think of sex as being a pretty big part of relationships.

Man Insider:

Sam

His opinion:

I was raised in a pretty small, religious community so the idea of waiting until marriage to have sex isn’t new to me at all. I spent most of high school dating only girls who were “waiting until marriage” (note: he used finger quotes and then explained it was because most them ended up giving it up, having sex and getting knocked up early. Then he laughed a lot. I kinda love this guy) so it’s not that bad. Well, okay, yeah, it sucks but I understand it. If you believe a certain way, it seems like the thing to do and you can’t really get upset with someone for that.

I really like how Max answered his question. I believe you should wait until bothe partners are ready to make the commitment of having sex. If you have sex you have to be ready for everything that can come with it.

Here is my perspective on having sex too early in a relationship as posted in one of my online dating profiles in guyspeak ...
Now a word about sex...yes,I said it. Let me give you a word picture...Remember Superbowl XLII? Patriots vs the Giants...Pats had an undefeated season...their record was impeccable...the odds favored their win...hands down...then remember when Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13 yard fade with 35 seconds left? An unspeakable underdog moment. What I recall most is the look on the faces of those Pats...their unblemished season ending in Superbowl defeat...I don't want to be one of those Pats...head hung low, knowing they should have had it all, kicking themselves for letting their guard down...see, that's what sex outside of a mutually exclusive relationship feels like for me...

I say do what you feel is appropriate to the situation. I have a sorta brother thing. Happens almost every time I try to get to know a girl before we have sex. However, the girls i have sex with soon after i meet them, I usually end up dating for long periods of time. So nature seems to put me in line with sex early. I do not believe that sex early has to mean no romance. I believe that i will find someone to spend my life with. I have designed an engagement ring already and I am seeking someone worthy of such a purchase.

There isnt a "right time". Its when it feels right. It could be slow and progressive or it could be instantaneous and madly passionate. So long as its mutual then why worry?

if you love each other you should make sure that both of you are ready and talk about the worries u may have between you and why your partner or your self is not ready for that step yet i dont think there is a time limit on in my eyes

I have always been the type of guy who likes to take his time, sex is an intimate thing between 2 people and have never felt comfortable with having one night stands. I'd wait until both of us were sure it's what we both wanted no matter the length of time. Don't get me wrong I do love sex and I'm not a boring guy, I was brought up with good morals and respect the person I'm with as well as my self too much just to jump straight into bed with someone. I have nothing against people who enjoy one night stands each to their own as they say, it's just not for me.

I'm a 31 year old man and would love to have a relationship with a women who wanted to until you got married to have sex. So not all men care about sex.

I don't believe on putting a time limit on when u should or shouldn't have sex. I beleive in living in the moment. So if the chemistry is strong and you are sharing a kiss that leads to sex because the connection is so amazing then y not? Some of my best relationships have stemed from us not holding back and just acted on how we felt. We wanted each other so we had each other. I don't go out thinking oh i think this will be the day i sleep with him. No i just go with the flow and how much we're vibing.

I can speak for myself when I say that I have a return policy for men. My return policy is 30 days. Basically if we don't make out or become intimate once we start the dating phase, then you are returned to the dating market. :-D.

In my world, i CAN'T seem to have sex without knowing someone for a while. I tried to have a one night stand, every time i do, I fail miserably! so, for me, sex is when it is and that's all there is.

Lots of talk about "sex" and well the sexiest thing about most sensual passionate people like me is their mind...and the little things, non verbal ques, the obvious chemistry, the dislike and differences and even the little corny things like holding the door or sharing a simple laugh over something wickedly innocent but made sorta funny by like minded kindred spirits. I will one day meet my match but even if I don't I'm damn good company alone with me , myself and I...and my big ass and boobs aint got nothing on my big sexy brain! xxx kisses Kk a Carolinian.

i think if you like the person and you want them for a relationship, and not just sex then you should wake as long as possible before getting physical x

I could NEVER be serious over a woman till we had sex. It's not that I'm gonna grade how good she is.. people can improve with experience if they desire to.. but I need to know she has a pretty healthy sex drive and "a compatible" attitude towards sex as I do.

We've been together now almost 18 years. We're happy, passionate.. and lots of our friends envy what we have. We didn't get married till just over a year ago. 17 years of just living together.. having a couple of kids.. life was good. Our house we bought in her name.. the business was in mine.. vehicles.. etc.. we both grew, acquired.. and flourished. getting married was just a formality. But we knew to be happy, people must grow, move forward, and feel accomplished.

Good luck.

MAX...VERY WELL SAID...I THINK THE SAME WAY!!! NOW OF DAYS MOST RELATIONSHIPS DONT LAST...I THINK JUMPING IN THE SACK TO QUICKLY RUINS THINGS FROM THE START!!! MOST PEOPLE DONT DO THE ROMANCE THING ANYMORE OR KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF A RELATIONSHIP!!! I BELIEVE THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING FELT IN THE HEART BEFORE SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE, LET THE INTEREST BUILD AND WHEN ITS TIME FOR BOTH PARTNERS TO DECIDE TO HAVE SEX IT WILL BE WORTH WAITING FOR! I BELIEVE SEX IS A BIG PART OF A RELATIONSHIP HOWEVER SO IS COMMUNICATION, RESPECT AND TRUST!! THIS STUFF HAS TO BE BUILT, NOT THROWN AWAY TO SOMEONE YOU HAVE KNOW A VERY SHORT TIME!! YOU ALL MAY NOT AGREE BUT THAT IS STRICLTY MY OPINION!!

As fo me How long would i wait to have sex? I would wait about one half hour. just as long as
she would wait. Because it is up to her when and where she wants to have it.

ok i can honestly say from my prespective you shouldn't have to wait long at all because if your going to have a relationship with someone sex is very important weather you are a male or female it is one of the most important things in a relationship besides the normal trust and honesty part
