I'm a late forties woman and I wait at least a couple months. Sometimes more like three or four months. I wait until we have had a convo about what we both want, relationship wise, and agree to exclusivity, and I need to see STD testing results. Then I use a condom for both oral and vaginal.
The only person I have had sex with without a condom is my ex husband. If a man wants to have sex with me without a condom, he needs to put a ring on it. I'm not risking STDs in the dating world. OLD makes it very easy for men to be super slutty. STDs are on the rise. And frankly men cannot test for HPV, which condoms protect against somewhat. And a lot of times, HPV passes from a man's system within a year or two. So if you are using condoms for the first couple years, it decreases your chances that you will catch HPV from him.
I've never tested positive for a STD, and I get checked every year. To me, this caution is worth it.
IME, most men try to start having sex around dates four to six. That's fine, but you don't have to say yes. IME most guys are willing to wait a few months or so. I've had a couple guys move on, but I'm pretty sure they weren't that into me anyway. A guy who is really into you will wait a few months and get STD testing.
Oh - and get the HPV vaccine! Insurance will cover if you get the first shot before you turn 45 or 46. After that, you can ask your gyn or pop to write a scrip. Don't listen to them if they tell you you don't need it. Most doctors are married and don't understand how slutty dating is these days thanks to OLD. It's very easy for men to be dating multiple women at once, which increases the risk of STDs.
Agree with the above. Men also needs to get HPV vaccine. Even if over 45. They sleep around and risk my health
Agree! I wish more straight men in my age group would get it.

...the last two people i went on dates with that I wanted to see more of....one was hesitant to kiss after date 2 when i went in, the other was kinda hesitant to kiss after a four-hour date 1...
...I still wanted to see both of them and would've been willing to take it slow but they weren't interested.
So, while in theory i'd be down to wait, my lived experience seems to indicate that if a woman isn't wanting to be handsy/kiss on at the end of a long first date or atleast date 2, i'm cooked.
^^woman here and yep!! If I like you I want to touch you. Maybe not have sex or even take clothes off, but I definitely know how I feel by the end of a good date.

There are, but who wants to relive high school.
Wow please be sure to say that on the first date so I know we have no future.
