The Waiting Game
In the dating world there are many versions of the 'guide' in how to play the game. For women there is the 'How to make the worst man into a gentlemen' guide and for men there is the 'How to make the respectable woman a dirty one' guide. I am no fan to either. They are all stereotypical sex schemes.
So, it came as no surprise that when asked about 'waiting' for sex men and women have polar opposite results- from banging the first night they met to waiting until they were married.
Here we will discuss the magical 46% (a combination of men and women) that highlighted the same answer straight across the board when asked, 'How long should you wait to have sex'.
On average people tend to have sex, with someone new, after the 5th date. Where exactly does the 5th date lay on the calendar, I don't know. You can see them once per week or three times a week (does this count as three dates?)- However, this lets you be in charge of your own time frame and focuses on getting to know the person. The second highest poll was waiting 2-3 months with 30% of the votes. Nice to know that the majority of people aren't as feen to fuck as I thought.
"If I really like her I prefer to wait. Sex is always fun but, better when it's meaningful. So, if there's a chance it might be that type of sex I'll wait."
BTW, the 'middle of the road' response given by my interviewers greatly resembled a national poll about the same topic!
The time frame shifts to a much smaller window when it comes to having sex with someone you already know. The majority of us would have sex the same night we go out. This may in part be due to the fact that we don't have to 'wait to see if you're a psycho', we already know you aren't. Plus, 37% of people are more relaxed and willing to have sex with a known individual than a complete stranger.
"If I'm saying yes to a date with someone I already known for a while it's because part of me likes them. So, chances of sex are high."
Plus, if you're the one who's not putting out don't fret! 70% of the interviewers would continue dating someone even though they aren't getting any. So, don't be shy and invite us in for something to drink, you'll be surprised!
One thing we can all agree on is that there is no right answer, Wether or not you have sex with someone depends on the circumstances. Let it be for fun or romance, have sex when you feel ready. If you're the type that knows what they want when they see it, go for it. And, if you need time to think it over that's fine. Oh, for those men that think 'waiting' is a woman's game, here are some reasons why you should wait too.
