Sex for me is more than physical, and because of that I need to feel a strong emotional connection with my partner before we would have sex. Now, I am not saying that after 2 weeks of being in the relationship and still being in what some have referred to as the "puppy-love" stage is enough connection. I need to feel that my parter and I will sit side by side on this emotional ride that we call life more many years to come (as cliche as that is).

This is just my stance, and I am sure that most guys that come across this post will disagree, but hey. That is what makes us all different, right? :)


Actually I couldn't have worded this better myself, I'm the exact same way. I have to be in a "Relationship" before the thought even crosses my mind, (You know what I mean) but I only know a select few guys that actually agree with me on this its nice to see another 1.


Wow, for real. Nice to know some men like that still exist in this world, I'd like to run into a man as you two one day soon. ;-)

In my opinion, most of times a woman would go for sex quickly if she is just attracted to a guy, but does not see him as a potential partner. If she is really interested in a guy and wants a lasting relationship with him, she will wait before she knows the guy well enough.

I think that in this day and age it's too sad not to try it before you buy it. If I was young again I would do so many things different. Now that my kids are grown and all away on their own the question means a whole new thing. I do know one thing if I am having a relationship sex is very important and it will be passionate. As for timing I think it's all in the chemistry. Too soon and you feel obligated to call and go out a few more times even when you don't want to. I like a man that knows when and what he wants. It's funny the different ages see things so different. It is just important that there is sex and it's good. lol

I have such conflicting thoughts on this subject. Being a God-fearing person, it is difficult to say that I too have a craving for such lust, but I do admit it and do not feel it to be a contradiction. I do feel it to be a stumbling block, that for some reason I like to keep falling over, and over, and over, and over, etc... I once dated a 21 year old who was a beautiful, talented, athletic (in a good way), girl who was also a God-fearing person, but was a virgin. I intentionally did not even try anything with her because of the fact. I know that a lot of guys would've loved to try, but it made no sense to me to try and take something soo wonderful from her, just let her wait until she's married she made it that far in life, she can wait some more. On the normal, however, I tend to think a few dates and it depends on the level of connection between us and what both decide. I think sex is a serious step in a relationship and should "made love" slowly to that idea before actually setting it as a task. I think it also surely establishes exclusivity, serial monogamist.

I wouldn't take a woman serious if she gives it up too quickly. If you had to wait a while and get to know eachother then you know if it gets more serious she likely not to cheat on you because she has sexual morals which is very important if you take life seriously.

When a woman or man holds sex as a more sacred act rather than a handshake you'll more likely to have a faithful partner and you don't need to worry about them going out with friends getting pissed out their brains and having one night stands which could lead to diseases and all kinds of bullshyt you don't need in this life, along with the 8 garddam parking fines u got last month. A little sexual morality wont go amiss aye.

I dont want to hear shyt like im sorry i cheated IT WAS JUST SEX and nothing else, lmaoooo so it was just sex then yeah? ok ill forgive yah.
Puuurlease mate you only just shytted on my esteem and wiped your unfaithful ass with my pride, so here go on here's my trust just break it, its easy to fix!!!lol.
I'm not saying that all women who gives it up on a first date would make a shytty unfaithful partner but hey, why risk it or if she did and i gave it a chance I'd keep an eye on that one.
It's all fun and games till someone is stuck with a disease for life or cant have any children.

:roll: :roll: R U 4 Real :shock: !!!!!!!!!!- :cry: Sounds 2 me som Lady Friend in ur Past, Must of Shyt on u Frm A Very Great Heighth Hun! :x Sex is the 1 an Only Tool We all hav which is always Different!! shock:It's the best Sex u'll Ever hav, :o .Cheating!! If it happens it happens :shock: Shyt Happens ;) ! Cheating is SEX! :? Wake up an Smell the Coffee :mrgreen: Why Else Wud We Cheat :o :o :lol: :ugeek:

Way to go Carly,
I love your honesty. Too often people are into people pleasing and not being honest.
Each case is different for me. If I am feeling it and the enthusiasm is reciprocated then why not.

I believe that choice is not really up to me, being the male. This probably sounds bad, so I'll go more into detail.

I believe it's all about the girl you are with and the situation you find yourselves in. I'm a guy who likes sex. It's one of my favorite things to do when it's available, but if not I'm not going to press it. I'll show interest, but if they don't show interest at the time, I generally don't go for it. I want my love to be comfortable. I don't want it to just be about sex. Besides, I don't want her to think that's all I care about.

My most recent ex and I waited about a week, but only because it was the "right moment". We both agreed it was more than physical urges, and it happened. lol.

I've waited longer, and I don't mind. I'd like to think I'm a patient person. lol. If they don't show interest after an extended amount of time then maybe I'm not what they want, and I'll move on. Simple as that.

However, again, don't get me wrong. I'm all for sex. ^_^
