    Was talking to a friend eariler and an interesting topic came up ... how long of a wait for sex is acceptable? and how long of a wait is unacceptable? (Unacceptable can be defined as taking the pi*s.)

    Now life is situational. So lets pick one of the most common situations. Its the first date. Thats the baseline. How long is perfectly fine to wait? how long is asking to much?

    Because alot of factors can be brought into it. Ie, for example, many people have had one night stands (generally, more of a number than people care to admit ;) ) So say a person who has had their "share" of one nighters, wants to make someone wait 3 months? ... etc etc.

    I'll add a poll. Pick the group in which you are perfectly willing to wait. Anything higher than that group is unacceptable. Eg, if you're ok with waiting up to 6 dates - then anything from 7 dates and higher is unacceptable.

    I'd say about four hours wait. If I'm not getting it by midnight then it's time for my rapist wit.

    Sure I misread it as : How long of a wait is acceptable & unacceptable to have sex whilst driving?

    I'd wait till I was a good bit away from home first

    Depends how slutty the girl your dating is.

    Sex first, relationship later. where is that option on your poll.

    For the sake of argument let's just assume she's a slut.

    Would depend how much I like the girl tbh.


    If I really liked her and we got on super etc, I would wait it out obviously not forever, but until she felt she was ready or whatever. Sex isn't everything, would be stupid to ditch a great girl after a few dates if I didn't get the ride

    At least wait until you've left the restaurant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,677 ✭✭✭policarp


    Until your'e married.
    Like the olden days
    Then you can have about
    13 or 14 children or more
    and kiss your life goodbye.

    I voted 3-4 dates. I think that;s about right if its a proper set up date scenario , rather than some girl you lobbed the gob on in a club. I wouldn't mind waiting a while but for all the goody goodies my opinion is that sex is a very important part of a relationship and if it ain't good then its a deal breaker aswell

    I like to make a man wait, not over the top long just a month or so. Call me what you want, but he can be respected if he waits... and trust me it's worth waiting for ;)

    Is that why there are no more wolves in Ireland bar you?

    Depends on a lot of factors.... Have been out of the dating game faaaar too long but voted 3-4 dates???????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭theboss80


    I also think that girls tend to concentrate FAR too much on the word respect. I've had one night stands and slept with girls who wanted to wait a bit longer and tbh there was no difference in the level of respect I had for them.

    I don't think there is any acceptable and unacceptable waiting period tbh. Whenever the 2 people are both ready and willing is right, be that on the first night or 6 months down the line.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    There'd be pm's a flyin' if the poll was made public :pac:



    With Wolfe Tone on this one. Depends entirely on the situation, how well you get on etc.

    I voted 20+ dates. After all I can eat a box of 12 dates in a few minutes

    Whenever the f*ck you WANT to have it, maybe?

    Threads like this make me facepalm HARD. Please, people, think of my poor bruised face next time you're going to ask a question like this.

    People who literally have a number in their head for when they want to have sex with someone, "after the third date" "Not later than 6 dates in", etc - male or female - really confuse me. Sex is about being in a moment where you really want to be that intimate with somebody, a pre-defined number or calculation can NEVER accurately predict that so why bother using them?

    I don't get why people want to "schedule" sex. If you're not doing it simply because you WANT to do it at that moment then you're in all probability not going to enjoy it very much...?

    I wait until i feel comfortable, i mean....i'm not putting a part of my body into someone unless i know a bit about them and feel comfortable i'm not gonna end up with an STD or worse.

    I mean really!...the tendency these days to jump into sex, no connection, no emotions, instant gratification...heathens!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    call me old fashioned, but a girl who'd be down for the ride within the first week just wouldnt cut it for me relationship wise. youd really have to wonder if half the country had been in her

    Yeah, but think of the amount of childrens allowance you would be pulling in...

    I didn't know the dole office/post office gave out lollipops instead of Children's Allowance.
