On average, how soon after you start dating do you wait before having sex?

On average, how soon after you start dating do you wait before having sex?
I'm NOT asking whether you answer this question according to a formula or a rule. I'm simply asking - on average - how often do you date someone before you are comfortable moving on to physical intimacy. When I ask about having sex, I am not limiting the question to intercourse. Hand jobs, oral sex, whatever it is that makes each other get aroused to the point of orgasm. . . how long before that happens?
First date. Why wait?
Vote A
Second date. Just want to make sure all those feelings on the first date weren't a fluke.
Vote B
Third date. Haven't you heard of the three date rule?
Vote C
One to two months. Why should something that important be rushed?
Vote D
Three to four months. I don't want my "body count" to be too high.
Vote E
More than four months but I'm not waiting for marriage.
Vote F
I'm waiting for marriage.

  • When I had my online relationship, I waited 4-5 months to see her on cam... At the same time I had a volcanic urge to start something sexual with her. Jeez, I shouldn't have ignore that red flag, but then I was naive at the time, so it stayed as a lesson.

  • Nothing sexual before marriage.

  • Marriage.

  • Unfortunately I just jam it in there after the first date, sometimes it’s the second time we meet. Sometimes I have known them for years.

  • Around 3 to 5 dates which could be a month

  • Until after Our Marriage.

  • It depends on the girl and how long we knew each other prior to dating

  • 3 months if she's not a virgin
    6 months if she is
    I will wait up to 2 years though.

  • Depends on the person.

    With my current boyfriend we had sex on our first date.

    • Yeah 😂

    • Marriage huh? I see you girl😂

    • We see each other 🤗

  • H. Depends on when I'm comfortable

    • I understand that most people do not have a formula to decide this question. That's why I said, "I'm NOT asking whether you answer this question according to a formula or a rule. I'm simply asking - on average - how often do you date someone before you are comfortable moving on to physical intimacy." Saying that your average is, e. g., four months doesn't mean that you always have sex when you get to the four month mark in a relationship.

  • Third date to a few months. Chicks are the time keepers.

  • About the third date, but it varies from the first date to never. Too many variables in this situation to make any estimate reliable.

    • Agree

  • First date
    First date because you need to know if you're sexually compatible you're going to be hurt if you invest into it and you guys aren't compatible most woman say months but they know the second they see you whether they want to fuck you or not

    • But that doesn't mean that they trust you that much on the first date! If it works for you. . . go for it. With the women I date, that would not work.

    • I respect and appreciate your input but times have changed there are a lot of different women out there but they look at men through narrow tunnel and to my knowledge and throughout most of my life a woman who can't figure it out it's not a good thing it normally means she either doesn't respect you or she's looking to date more than one person we never know anyone sex life

    • I understand that you need to know about sexual compatibility and you don't want to wait until the wedding night to find out that she's as cold as ice. However, for most women I have dated or discussed this with, they don't want to have sex until they trust that you will be respectful of them and they will feel safe being naked with you. I know that all women don't feel that way but I don't think that the majority of women under the age of 30 want to have sex on the first date. Maybe I'm wrong; I certainly don't date women under the age of 30 now!

  • Average is around 2 months, but I've done it (intercourse included) as early as the 2nd date when the chemistry with a woman was really strong.

  • I have sex even before becoming boyfriend and girlfriend

    • That could lead o a fairly high body count for your age.

    • Well I'm 24 and my body count is 1 so I think I'm doing fine

    • Yes, that is fine indeed. The wording of your original post suggested otherwise.

  • Wait forever till marriage.
