There isn't a calendar that you should use to make this determination. The only reason to wait is find out what kind of person they are and if you want to be intimate with them. You want to find out more about them, do you have common interests, are they trustworthy, are they only after sex, etc...
If you are looking for just a hookup, it doesn't matter if you wait at all.
If you are looing to invest your time into cultivating a relationship with this person, you'll both know when you are ready to take that next step.4 1 0 0You said it the best. My thoughts exactly.
I will wait until after the honeymoon.
Sex before marriage destroys the foundation (If any exists at all) because there is no commitment.
"Boyfriend" or "Girlfriend" doesn't mean much.
If you want to be happy, you must work at life. There are no short cuts. Discipline and self control are two very important things, and I see many young people who don't know how to practice either one.
The true test of a man's love is if he is willing to wait until the honeymoon.7 1 2 4exactly! thank you! if a guy really a truly loves me, he will be able to keep it in his pants till we get married!
The true test of a man's love is if he's able to put your needs ahead of his own. If he's just got a low sex drive, then waiting until marriage is gonna be amazingly easy for him, and your sex life afterwards will suffer horribly. I've seen friends do this only to get divorced over sexual incompatibility after a couple years. It's not the only answer.
PenguinTime, I halfheartedly agree with you, with a huge BUT. If the man loves the wife truly, and honestly... And the woman loves her man with all that she is... DO you not think that there will be communication? "Honey I... I'm a man. I have desires that are more like needs... You are not 'X' for me..." "Honey, I'm a woman... I need to be needed. I need to be desired. I need your touch. Don't you enjoy my body?" You are essentially saying that these talks never happened between these people. Why not? Or if they did happen, the man still refused the woman. The woman still refused her man. Are these symptoms of a truly loving, caring relationship? The answer is no. Though they dated and abstained from sex, there never was a foundation established. Maybe they were too busy having fun and NOT KNOWING EACH OTHER.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years.
We started having sex 4 months into the relationship, we were waiting when we can spend a whole day in private instead of just having a few hours together as it wouldn't be as special for the first time together. One day his parents announced they were going to Newcastle to visit family for the weekend.
Best weekend ever :) I lost my virginity to him and it hurt like a bitch but the way he soothed me helped a lot, it turned me on more.4 3 0 0This is toooo sweet!
Thank you :)
I'm not the demographic I think you intended your question for. I'm voting C because neither of the other two work for me. I'm waiting to have sex with my husband. I'm old school like that. I'm 99% sure the guy I'm with now is going to be my husband one day but until that day comes I'm not having sex with him.
3 3 2 2@Prettygurl12 It's not necessarily old school to wait. I'm waiting until marriage for coitus.
It's not always good to have sex when dating, sometimes you date a guy, but that guy is not the one, so better keep yourself and wait.

19 16Whenever you both are ready is the best. I know I would never make it last for months. Maybe a couple weeks max.
0 1 0 0hold out as long as you feel is necessary. don't be pressured in to it because its granted you'd regret it. if he likes you he'd wait. so guys like it when women don't give it up so easy and they respect you for that. if you want this relationship long term I say hold out till your ready
1 0 0 1There's a bunch of weird sexist thinking going on in this post. Hold out? Pressured? Give it up? You're treating sex like a commodity, subject to capitalistic supply and demand, and making it sound like men are always the ones who want sex. Women are just as sexual, if not more so than men. I, for one, have much more respect for a woman who gets out there and has a one night stand because she wants to get laid that night than someone who treats sex like the church in the middle ages. No decent guy is going to lose respect for you for having sex with him early in the relationship. That's ridiculous.
@amagi82 well said, brother
After some months pass or even later after you get married. Im waiting until after I get married Im high demand for many people apparently I can't just give out the goods so easily that makes the stock value go down lol Still a virgin and loving!

0 0 0 0Within about 2 weeks is normal. It's weird to wait over a month. If you like each other, get tested and have fun.
