		<description>Meeting guys on line. 
Hmm.
I met three guys on line via either dating sites or IRC [this is going back a few years, prior to FB and the likes of]. One became my best friend and the love of my life.  One I almost married.  The third was a total psycho.  Still I did go out with him for a good six months before this realisation dawned.  I don&#039;t have a hard and fast rule [excuse the pun]. Sex happens when it feels right.  I&#039;ve never been able to have no strings attached nookie.  And I agree with Greg.  The girl is usually the one who decides ...

		<description>If you want an honest answer, you&#039;d first have to consider that I was a musician for many years and traveled extensively, and when I did &quot;date&quot; it wasn&#039;t exactly like what I hear and read from the average person’s experience. 

So the whole &quot;how long do you wait&quot; question really doesn&#039;t/didn&#039;t quite fit. It didn&#039;t really come up that I can recall. I&#039;ve known women who were very uninhibited and those who seemed to need more structure.

So I would say in general, being careful to avoid details, that there are people that one might sleep with without technically &quot;dating&quot; and there are people who you have no intention of having sex with but &quot;date&quot; often (and everything in between). Dating and sex, at least for me, aren&#039;t really bound together.

When to have sex is more a matter of one&#039;s personal belief system (which I lack), and personal health and safety. For most people I would caution that a three date rule might leverage reason over passion, but it also sets up expectation and deadlines. 

Casual (safe) sex is fine as is abstinence until marriage. Setting up an arbitrary deadline for sex only creates tension. What is most important is for an individual to know his/her comfort level. For those less inhibited individuals, I would recommend minimizing risks until you know the person very well (i.e., save the freaky stuff for much later).

The reality of sex is that rationality varies inversely with the number of times you’ve slept with an individual. It’s a bit like eating at a new restaurant when you’re hungry. If you’ve eaten there before, you have more self control. Or if you’ve eaten at similar restaurants it isn’t a big deal. But when a new restaurant comes to town with a really good chef, don’t be surprised if you’re ignoring the price tag. So your three-date thing is a bit like dieting. As long as you keep your choices to that bland diet crap, you’ll be fine sticking to it. But where’s the fun in that?</description>

		<description>Gobz Gobz Gobz, why would i call you a whore, hmmm? just because you boinked on your first date? or because your date consisted in lanning and not talking before the actual boinking took place? No, my real concern lies in that lanning got your blood pumping and your hormones raging enough to get boinking on the first date...that&#039;s all.

		<description>It&#039;s always depended on the person for me. I don&#039;t have a strict rule, just a...do I or don&#039;t I rule :P

With the current boy toy...technically I had met him through a fright when I was 16, but really we started chatting over the net for about 2 months until we set up a LAN date...and we got drunk and boinked. So that was really a first date thing.

Yes I&#039;m a geek to the core. I had a LAN date. piss off ;)
And that was really all the time we needed. Mainly because both of us had actually been honest during our little time of communications.

Other times it&#039;s taken longer. But I know that doesn&#039;t matter because you&#039;re dying to call me a whore right now ;)
