You've had three dates! Why don't you wait till you actually know each other before you exchange bodily fluids? Geez.


Guy here and 3 dates is definitely plenty for me but, to each his own.

Give it two more dates for him to make the move. If he doesn't, try again. If he says no, ask him what's up.

Have you met men?

A guy wouldn't turn down sex with a girl he hardly knows, but if he and a woman have been drinking, it's on him to assess her ability to consent? And if he's wrong, it's rape? Why are we saying both things are true? Isn't this a giant contradiction?


Of course we should hold men to a high standard and let them know that certain behaviors are unacceptable. And that's exactly the point-these behaviors and attitudes are unacceptable, and yet they are perpetrated, daily- on men against women. So I will stop making comments like the above once those acts end. I would be thrilled- beyond happy- when that day comes.

When a guy is looking for a long-term relationship he may be less likely to rush things. Sex changes a relationship, maybe he wants to enjoy a bit more of getting to know her before sex becomes the focus. When you have a new sex partner having sex is great and I want to have sex all the time and want to be with someone that feels the same way, this typically prevents me from getting to know my partner as well as I would like to.

Many women want to sneer at men as animals while, at the same time, holding them to the standards and responsibilities of humans.

Better rule this out sooner than later. Worse than herpes.

Pretty much, yes.


Except! If the guy doesn't want to deal with, right then and there, starting an exclusive physical relationship with someone who will then have expectations of him, he will duck out. Maybe the next time.

My husband waited almost 3 weeks before sleeping with me. It was a combination of two things: he really liked me and thought it could be serious, so he was showing me respect by waiting and two, his sex drive isn't that high so it wasn't a huge sacrifice.
