    First time having sex in a new relationship
    Simple question.
    Personally how long do you wait before having sex when getting into a new relationship and why.
    Personally for me its a month. But I've known my friends to have sex on the first date, so yh...

    I went out with 1 guy for 4 years before I did anything, even then we had broken up haha! Was so nervous back then! Another was about just over a month into the relationship.. and with my current boyfriend it happened extremely quickly, he was hard to resist! lol not quite the 1st date though

    We met a week before in a club, we talked and snogged on that night but I was busy so we had to wait a week until we could go out. During that whole week we text and got to know each other better. So by the date I already felt quite comfortable around him.

    Our actual date was amazing, he cooked me dinner, we chatted LOADS, then we went out for drinks, then we went out dancing.... by about an hour in i was smitten and by two hours in I knew I wanted to sleep with him...... but i waited until the date was 5 hours in....

    It worked out well, we have been dating for three months now

    I've been in a relationship with mine for 4 months, and we've not done anything. Just with exams round the corner, cannot find the time. Taking it at our own pace!

    All my relationships seem to have started as a bit of casual fun, so for me it's before even being in a relationship.

    1-2 weeks. Even when I lost my virginity to my first bf it was less than a week.

    First relationship, it was about three months. With the current beau, we flirted and teased for about two months before we slept together ... I think I rushed it a little bit, but I don't regret it

    Re: First time having sex in a new relationship
    I enjoy the build up and the tension, so around the six week/10th date marker for me, though it was two months with Mr TJW... not merely because he was abroad for half that time, making me feel very chaste and proper. :P

    I find that ten dates is a good pilot study for finding out if there's any possible romantic future. Obviously if he lets me down within that time (not calling when he says he will, being inconsistent/not on time, being boring conversation etc), then it's no deal.

    I don't wanna give it up too soon, because then, what's to differentiate me from any girl he could just go to a club and meet and go home with? It doesn't make me feel special in myself, and also, I get too emotional about guys I have sex with to take the risk. I'd hate to be that girl who writes on here saying 'I slept with a guy on the first date, now I haven't heard from him, why?' And since there's no DISadvantage to enjoying the build up (so long as you don't wait TOO long!), why rush?

    By my experience, if a guy is confident and laddish enough to know that he can pretty much go to a club and get laid if he wants, then he's not gonna stick around 'getting to know' yet another girl who gives it up straight. And since I like guys who are confident with women, the only solution is to demonstrate that the bar is higher for me and he'll have to do more than take me out for a night on the town like every other garden variety bozo (can't blame 'em though, if it gets results! But not my style).

    If in doubt, wait it out.

    my relationships usually follow on from having sex with someone, rather than the other way around

    This.

    Sex is a big part of a relationship and so needs to be good otherwise it could lead to problems.

    This too tbh.

    Think sex is important in a relationship, you need to be compatible, so might as well find out early on!

    About 1 month to 2 months. I wouldn't sleep with a guy before we knew we were definitely in a relationship. Otherwise, it might just be mutual lust rather than actually liking the person.

    It's important to know the attraction isn't just physical. Whilst the sex side is great, I think personality is more vital to a long lasting relationship.
