Sex And Dating

Becoming Lovers: When Is the Right Time?

I am in a relationship with a man in the Navy. He has been at sea for four months now, and although we have grown closer over that period of time through letters and phone calls, we were just getting to know each other when he was shipped out. We have not slept together. I deeply care about him and I know that my feelings are reciprocated. My question is, when he is shipped back home, should we sleep together? I feel that this is a relationship with serious potential and I want to prove that I am "good."

Doesn't Want Sex Yet

There's this girl that I'm really in love with. And she's in love with me too. She has made it clear to me that she wants me to take her virginity, but I don't know if I should do that. It's a big responsibility, and I know I would feel guilty having taken away what I know is most sacred to her. I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid that if I bring it up, then she'll think there's something wrong with her, which is definitely not the case. What should I do?

I commend you on your sensitivity and caring. Sex can be a beautiful and pleasurable thing between two consenting adults (and I'm assuming you are both over 18), but it's not something to be taken lightly. In this day and age unwanted pregnancy isn't the only possible negative outcome of sex -- AIDS or other disease are a danger as well.

5 Dates That Will Drive Him Wild
Treat him to a manly dish

Dainty morsels artfully arranged on a plate just won't cut it for your hungry man, so take him out for his favorite food -- the kind he can eat with his hands. Barbecue sandwiches, ribs, burgers and pizza are all palate pleasers for the testosterone-toting sex. Pick a place where you can get as sloppy as you want (bonus points for lustily licking your fingers)

Could sex have saved our relationship?

I was dating this guy for a very short time. He was very attentive in the beginning. He was also pressuring me for sex, but was understanding when I told him to take it slow. Our last date was to a hockey game. Afterwards, we shared a very nice kiss. I could tell he was excited, but he didn't push it -- he stopped and politely said goodnight. But now I haven't heard from him in three weeks. I keep thinking I should have slept with him. Did I do something wrong? Help, I can't stop thinking about him!
