You can wait as long as you want....It's when you feel the time is right! You can wait a few hours, days, weeks, and even months....I usually wait for a couple of months or till i feel the time is right. (could be sooner), but that's just me! Good luck and hope this helped you in some way!

Long enough to have first met their families (many times you can't tell how horrible a person is going to be until you see the family that sprouted him/her) and determined whether or not they've ever been incarcerated or institutionalized for any reason. Long enough to know if they have any addictions and, if so, if you can handle them.
So, if he's a physicist from a government lab and has a security clearace, you're pretty safe (no criminal history, no drug abuse likely) but if you met him in a bar, it'll take a good 6 to 8 weeks before you know them well enough and that's even if you're going out several times a week.

Depends on where you are with your beliefs. If you are a christian, you already KNOW the answer to this. If not, I guess it don't really matter because you arent basing your relationship on morals or standards, and you don't care what God's orders are. I've been at both ends, and believe me, I wish I had waited until I knew Him before I got into something that wasn't based on love and commitment. It would have saved a lot of innocent people from a lot of pain, instead, I thought it was "My body, MY needs, MY wants,that were the only factors! Ignorance really sucks.
Wait until you know you are ready to give your life to and for that person.

Whenever u feel ready. But just in my opinion, I usually would go by the standard "third date rule". Being too easy doesnt get a girl the man in some cases but waiting too long can make them look elsewhere (but if they do that then they aren't the right man anyway). So my answer is, only sleep with someone once YOU feel ready!

Usually people wait til marriage, but that never works today so you should wait at least like 2 months before you do that because the big question is does he just want you for a sleeping partner or does this person really like you?

I think about 3 months.
It takes that long to get to know someone and know if they are the sort of person you want to be intimate with.
Sleeping with someone within hours or days of meeting them is fine if you are just looking for sex and no other involvement ever, but if you want to see them more than once, I would wait a few months.

I say when ever you think your ready for it. Be it 1 second or 20 years. You decide when that happens and **** all those people out there that say there is a certain amount of time to wait. **** you both will know when your ready not when someone tells you when it is politically correct.

i think everyone has it backwards---i think when two people meet they should go right to bed or wherever they want to do it and have sex all night--then they would know the person pretty well and the rest of the relationship would grow--and no i dont think that would base the relationship on sex only--not for intelligent people anyway---why make such a big deal about how long you have known someone before you have sex with them---if you want them and they want you --do it!!

You have to know them long enough to decide if risking pregnancy, AIDS/HIV, herpes, warts, or other STDs is worth it. You have to be sure the person isn't going to give you a disease that could ruin your life, if not kill you. You have to know them long enough to be sure that the person will value and protect your heart, body, mind and soul. That's why it's smart to wait until marriage or at the very least a formal engagement.
