If you are in a relationship that you think could be for the long haul, how long should you wait before having sex?

That's totally up to you and your partner, not anyone else. There isn't a time limit on love, marriage, sex, etc. It's all up to how comfortable you are with each other, trust and possibly (hopefully) love.

Please.. please,please,please,please,pl... PLEASE go to the links I have below and read the information there BEFORE you give yourself to this guy!!!
Then... AFTER you have read them and done some thinking about
- what would I do if I got pregnant?
- what would my life be like if I had a child?
- do I understand the risks of STDs and am I prepared to protect myself against them?
- what will this do to my reputation?
Once you have done all of that then you need to have some sort of discussion with the guy about consequences.. what if you did get pregnant what would you do? if you would keep it then you really need to let him know BEFORE you sleep with him.
Now.. this may sound like a lot to do - and for the first time it is.. but it needs to be done- then.. its really up to you to decide when the timing is right. sometimes its the first date.. others the thrid.. or 5th.. its all up to you!

you need to listen to your heart and soul. the "if" or the "might be" is something we just dont know. it also depends on how old you are. if you are a young person, i would say wait until at least you have been with the guy for 8 months. if you are an adult, go with your gut feeling. if it feels right, go for it. if not wait. but remember you need to feel truly comfortable with the situation.

It all depends on how intense the realtionship is. I do believe you need to feel something for the person before. I may sound old fashioned but this has served me well.

Okay well you should wait till your married but in 2006 you should only wait till his results from the STD scan come back!!

It was always a case by case basis for me. Usually within the first week. Alot of times the first date.

I would not set a time frame. It is all dependent upon when you are both ready. It will happen when you least expect it.

that is a tough personal question. If your going to spend a life time together that is a decision you need to make together.
