When, in a dating relationship, do you generally start having sex? Be honest.

Depends. Do you always get eaten first? If not, then the tribute to the Great Tentacled One isn’t really workin its mojo for you, and I suspect your boyfriend is in favor with The Great Old Ones.

I think that the Traditional Path of love-marriage-sex actually makes the sex a lot less related to love than the Modern Path of intimacy1-i2-i3-i4-love-marriage…or something along those lines. I mean, with the Traditional Path it’s clear that falling in love has nothing to do with sex, since the people fall in love without ever having sex. I mean, it may if you mean that people will fall in love with anyone just to get sex, but even if that is what Alx meant, then that still doesn’t connect a pair’s love with that pair’s sex. But in the Modern Path, the levels of emotional intimacy–at its final stages LOVE–grow organically along with the level of physical intimacy–at its final stages SEX. Thus, the love and the sex are very closely related.

If we’re going with “sexual activity AT ALL” I choose “within a couple dates.” As for sexual intercourse, a couple months. Though that length of time was with my current boyfriend, and it was only because I was a virgin and scared to death of having sex.

I kind of liked waiting that long. It’s been over six months and we’re still discovering things about sex. It’s been fun. :smiley:

My partners usually do.

I like to be comfortable with the person first. If she sees my weenie when it’s cold, or I get excited and finish too fast, that’s bad. If she laughs at either, then there’s a solemn trip to the lake to be made.

I like to be comfortable with her, know what sorts of things she thinks are ok to laugh at, and how well she knows my lake and it’s contents. Also I like to now her general body weight, for, uh, calculations…for sex of course.

Did I mention I have 2 Realldolls and 4 Fleshlights at the lake house? Man that place is awesome! Beer keg too!

Having danced does not make you a dancer.

What kind of dance? Is it partner like salsa or swing or is it the dancing that is pretty much both of you dancing indepently in front of each other?

It’s not performance. People improve at dancing. But that alone doesn’t mean they become better people. But they can not escape their personality when they dance. A man who is selfish will treat his dance partner like a rag doll. But a man who is generous and giving will interract with his partner, involve her, make the dance about her. Likewise a bossy woman will have trouble following a lot of the time and will repeatedly back lead, especially when she is dancing with a less than proficient leader. Yes, some of these things can be overcome with experience, but they can not keep from giving themselves away over time. Dance with anyone for a couple of months, you’ll learn what kind of person they are.

Of course it’s not automatic. You have to put 2 and 2 together. You have to pay attention enough to figure people out.

If you do ANYTHING with someone for a couple of months, you can get a reasonably good idea of what kind of a person they are. But if you have sex with them, you not only find out what kind of a person they are, you also get laid. It’s win-win.

So is our guy Alx here another 13 year old?

Why spend two months dancing with someone if you can find out all the same information from 10 minutes of humping?

Ditto.

Other.

As soon as the cash changes hands.
:smiley:

Get out of the way!

Nice deflection, but you’re wrong; writing has tone, and I think I described your tone here fairly accurately.

ETA: Giraffe, quit staring in my windows!

Ten minutes? Maybe you should stick to dancing. :wink:

Salsa, bachata, merengue, forró, yes. I dance those, I grew up with those (as did most of my dance partners). No, a man who is selfish but is good at dancing will still do as you said, but be a bad selfish partner in bed. Been there, done that. The person with whom I danced for months… was definitely a different person than his dance personality. Dio, perhaps I’ve should’ve done that instead of spending months dancing. :wink:

I’m questioning now if you even dance regularly. Your statements read like someone who is in awe of people who can dance, and cannot seem to notice the fact that people who can be good at what they do, can also be bad in other areas.

And having fucked – even on the third date – doesn’t make you a slut, a sex maniac, or a bad person.

Maybe by “soul” he means “naughty bits?”

:smiley:

So how would you suggest non-dancers find out what their romantic partners will be like?

Hey wait a minute. Isn’t dancing sinful and evil also? :dubious:

LOL, I tended to date girls who know what they want, and a girl usually knows if she wants to fuck you pretty early on.
