Can I Have Have Sex On The First Date?: Judgement Free Zone

Last updated by Katie M.

“Never on the first night!” We’ve all heard or uttered this phrase before. But here you are, in front of someone attractive, looks are exchanged, and the temperature rises little by little. This is when the angel and the demon on your shoulders start the debate: Is it better to wait before sleeping with this stranger? Or can you give in to the temptation? You wouldn’t want to be thought of as promiscuous, but at the same time, you only live once. We’ll tell you right now how much patience you can or can’t have!

It annoys us, sticks to us and prevents us from letting go, but does this prejudice still apply? Refusing to sleep with someone on the first night can be justified or not, depending on the desire of each man and each woman. This choice must be made by the person concerned, and since it’s sometimes difficult to make, we’ll shed some light on the subject.

When it comes to sleeping together on the first date, there are deep-rooted differences between men and women

They are very real, and we often pay the price for them! The differences between men and women aren’t just anatomical. If we rely on preconceived ideas, a woman who has sex on the first night will be perceived as easy, whereas a man will be deemed a “champion” by his peers.

Women are therefore expected to control their desires and their fiery impulses, which throughout history have been taken as voraciousness by men and another thing for women. Moreover, putting off doing the deed puts the feeling of love in the forefront is so a woman would have no reason to experience arousal or have a fulfilled sex life outside a relationship. A man can base his decision on a woman’s actions to determine whether she will be the mother of his children or just a one-night stand. On the other hand, if a man chooses to wait before sleeping with someone, he would be perceived by others as weak and unmanly.

In light of these prejudices, which are in no way indicators, we want to say stop! We’re fed up with being a slave to principles that seem outdated. We’re fed up with not finding someone intelligent enough to understand that a woman who has sex on the first night is no more guilty than a man who does the same thing – it’s just nature! Whether we wait before doing it, it’s a choice that’s ours alone and should be respected.

What do we gain by waiting instead of having sex on the first date?

By refusing to give yourself straight away, you avoid being labelled as an easy girl, promiscuous, even nymphomaniac or any other vulgar term beginning with the letter “S” or “W”. Boys can also be seen as Don Juan, whom we end up distrusting. It’s therefore initially a matter of conscience because in your eyes, sleeping with someone means something, and you don’t do it with just anyone. Your reputation could also suffer because when people like to gossip and when they learn certain things, they’re unfortunately quick to judge!

Since you were a child, you were taught not to get into a stranger’s car or his bed… This isn’t like you because your mistrust prevents you from throwing yourself into the arms of the first person you meet, who could very well be hiding behind his smile some perverse behavior or something worthy of a psychopath. Waiting for a woman also allows you to be sure that you’re not just with a man who’s only looking for sex, if this is not the case for you. By taking your time, you can see that your crush is truly interested in you and not just your beautiful behind like all the other c@#*! That you’ve met in the past. In short, you measure his motivation and that reassures you!

Giving in to temptation immediately can also be a barrier to a long-term relationship. Your date may see you as just a one-night stand and nothing more. He may even go so far as to think that you act like this on all your dates, which could put him off if he wanted to plan a long-term relationship with you.

Seduction is above all a game, and nobody will say the opposite: being desired is something flattering. You feel the desire and the temperature rising, but you wait a little longer for it to be better. Your ego and confidence will thank you!

“Never on the first night”: isn’t that a scam?

When you think about it, the first, second or third time are all the same. Only 72 hours separate these three dates, so if you were going to split hairs over the perfect moment, be aware that whatever time you choose will be early in the relationship. But never mind! Imagine the following scenario without laughing:

-“We’d known each other for two weeks, so I was entitled to…”

-“No, normally it’s after two weeks and a day!”

As far as we know, no one has ever determined a minimum amount! Making love is about giving in to your desires, so it’s one of the few times you forget the rules. Some will say that you don’t get to know your (potential future) partner’s personality by offering yourself on the first date. But who needs to know his mother’s date of birth or his goldfish’s name to have fun in bed? Especially since it takes time to get to know someone. It takes months, even years and then some! Your grandparents may not know anything about them yet because you learn something new every day. So little angels, do you still want to wait? Will you have the faith to wait?

In addition to sparing your ability to be patient, sleeping with your date will enable you to release all the tension of the first date. And whether it’s sexual because it turns out you both have great feels for each other, or nervous because we all get stressed before meeting someone, it’s there and can wear you down! No one can stand the pressure forever, so don’t be afraid to let go. Another reason to justify the fact that giving in to temptation quickly is a long-term investment. Testing whether you’re sexually compatible can save you from any unpleasant surprises if you want to take things further with this person! He/she is very – extremely even – beautiful and funny, but a disaster in bed… And it’s too late because you’ve already got attached to this person you see as the ideal partner. You’re now in a bind, stuck with a bad shag. It would have been better to made aware of this earlier.

For some, sex is very important and let’s face it: strangers are exciting and can be the object of our fantasies! Some would say that you can let yourself go more easily with someone you don’t know from Adam. By being spontaneous, you will be natural and that’s when you’ll shine the most. Who knows, this stranger may not stay that way for very long because if you want to get to know him/her as mentioned before, there is a very effective way to do so: “pillow talk”. Yes, thanks to the hormone oxytocin, which gives us a feeling of calm and well-being after sex, we’re more likely to confide in someone than we would over a coffee!

Finally, enough talk, you can have sex on the first night just because you want to. By giving in to your desire will only make the moment better and more intense. You’re now an adult, responsible (protect yourself), consenting and free to manage your sexuality as you see fit. It’s your body, and you can do what you want with it, as long as there is respect and nobody is forcing you to do something you don’t want to.

When to sleep with a guy you met online

The best time to have sex has nothing to do with the number of dates, or how you met the person. Instead, it all depends on the context, the situation and the chemistry between you. From the very first date, if the person we are with makes us feel comfortable, good about ourselves, and laugh, all whilst respecting our values, then you should decide to have sex whenever you want. If you aren’t ready straightaway, then there is no rush and your partner should reserve all negative judgement, and if he doesn’t, then he simply doesn’t deserve you. If on the other hand you wait a little longer when it comes to love making, there are several advantages too, including increasing desire, getting to know the person better, and gaining confidence. However, once again, there is no precise rule to respect, sometimes it's better to trust your instinct.

Sex on the first date; what guys think - 2 Thoughts they have

Rare are the men who refuse to have sex on the first night - although it does exist. However, on the other hand, many women are content to seduce, flirt, and end up kissing their one-night stand - possibly indulging in a little foreplay - without going any further and waiting for a second date. Why such nervousness?

1) Sleeping on the first night is a dealbreaker for a long-term relationship

The prejudices of another era are still valid with regard to certain men: a woman who sleeps on the first date is, if not a girl with loose morals, an easy girl, a nymphomaniac, or any other term with vulgar connotations. Thus, if these same men do not hesitate to consume on the occasion of a first meeting, they only retain an image of their partner as a "one-night stand" and are not inclined to repeat the relationship under any form whatsoever.

2) If she sleeps on their first "date", he imagines that she systematically does the same

Beyond the bad image that the woman who decides to have sex with a stranger can send back, her liberated behavior suggests, in the sense of many men, habits that they see with a bad eye. Going to bed on the first night would imply that the woman has a very dense sexual past. So what? So the man, marked by an ancestral ideology, desires a life partner whose previous experience is limited.

Editor’s note: It’s your choice and no one else’s!

Whether you have sex on the first night, who cares! It’s your decision, your feelings in the moment, so do what you want in the moment without asking yourself any questions. Sometimes, you just have to let the magic of the moment work and live without thinking about the future… You’ll see what it holds for you sooner or later anyway! It’s an intimate choice that doesn’t concern anyone else but you.

🤗 Understand yourself, accept yourself, be happy... Let’s do it here and now!

Psychological Abuse: Identify It To Get Out Of It

A little belittling remark here, minimizing our emotions there... So many little things that show us that we’re being psychologically abused. It may seem trivial, but that’s the problem. We downplay it too much, which makes it the most common type of abuse. So, how do you identify psychological abuse? What should you do if you’re a victim? Let’s explain.

Behavioral Disorders: The List & Their Definitions

I suffer from an eating disorder, and several people around me have a mood disorder. I’m not completely unfamiliar with behavioral disorders, or at least not these. However, there are several types of disorders and they can even affect sexual behavior. So how do you define them? Here’s a list and some definitions related to behavioral disorders.

How Do Narcissists Behave Sexually?

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. Discover how they behave in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

10 Reasons Why Your Ex Slept With Someone Else After Your Breakup

We are all unique individuals, and we, therefore, go about handling breakups and the other obstacles life throws our way, differently. Now, when it comes to breakups, there are those of us that almost become celibate and decide that they can't stand the idea of getting to know anyone ever again. Then, on the other hand, there are those that fill their phones with dating apps and jump from one one-night stand to the next. This second scenario may seem harmless, but once we dig a little deeper into the repercussions of it, we soon realize that sleeping with other people so freshly out of a relationship masks troubling sentiments of unhappiness and uneasiness.

I Constantly Need Recognition

Ever since I was a child, I’ve felt like I do things according to others. My choices and my behavior have long been dictated by the approval of others. As I’ve got older, I’ve learned to assert myself and detach myself from what others might think of my actions. Why do we constantly seek this validation, and how can we get rid of this need for recognition when it becomes toxic? Having been there myself, I’ll explain it all to you!

How To Camouflage Your Cellulite At The Beach

You were well on your way. You were holding on, motivated by the idea of finally having a bikini body this year. But then the lockdowns and the laziness all hit you at once... That’s right, your cellulite is still there and not ready to leave just yet. But guess what?! Cellulite is like a little pimple, either we own it, or we resort to using tricks to camouflage it.

I Never Thought I’d Say This, But I Hate Working From Home…

Work has always been a synonym of repression for me because it takes up so much of our precious time. Let’s be honest, a 9-5 job with a horrendous daily commute often means that work is sadly our sole occupation. So, when the Covid-19 pandemic struck over a year ago, and we were all ordered to stay home, I found it hard to hide my joy in front of my distraught coworkers; although thankfully my acting talents saved me. You can probably already tell, but going into the office every day was nothing less than torture for me. Yet, all these months later, I’ve realized that I despise working from home and would do anything to sit in my uncomfortable office chair once again!

Do We Always Need To Have The Last Word?

Today, I’m focussing on a habit that drives me crazy: wanting to have the last word. It’s probably because I’m not very good at comebacks or self-confident enough that I’m both fascinated and annoyed by people who always want to be right. But why do they always want to have the last word? What’s behind it?

I Still Suck My Thumb As An Adult

In general, thumb sucking ends around the age of 6. I say “in general” and not “normally”, because as an adult I don’t feel weird or particularly bothered by it. When I get stressed, I allow myself to let go and return to my childhood self by sucking my thumb. Those who know about it or catch me by surprise make me realize I should be ashamed… But is this habit a big deal? What if it makes me feel better? It’s certainly no worse than lighting up a cigarette or biting your nails…

Why Do Hugs And Physical Contact Make Me Feel Uncomfortable?

There are people who don’t like to be touched at all, and who are almost disgusted by physical contact. There are people who like to caress and be caressed for anything and everything, and there are people like me who always recoil when someone tries to touch them. Why do I shy away from physical contact? What if it’s all linked to the past?
