Lifestyle: What do men think about sex on a first date?

Many men have shared what they always THINK about sex on a first date.

They may not act upon it or say anything to the woman they’re with, but they are either attracted or they’re not. If they’re not attracted, chances are pretty strong that she won’t be asked out again. If they are attracted, they will probably want to make out with her and sleep with her after the first or second date.

That doesn’t mean that men are sex addicts. It doesn’t mean they lack upstanding values. It means that they are…MEN. They are simply acting on their attraction, while women often want more of an emotional commitment before sleeping with a man.

Others believe that if you want to know when to have sex for the first time, a good place to start is with YOU. Do you love and respect yourself? Because if you do, you’ll know what you want. You’ll be able to define your relationship standards before you get involved with anyone.

The general principle in dating is that if you have built a level of trust with a partner and you honour yourself, it’s okay to become sexually active. You’ll know when you’re ready.

What ladies can do is to wait for an exclusive relationship before sleeping with a man. It’s okay to be physically intimate in other ways if the attraction is strong, but you need to be clear about what YOU need for emotional and physical safety.
