The Benefits of Waiting to Have Sex With Him
New relationships can be a real delight - but they can bring up some very tough questions for a woman. One of the first questions women ask is “When is it ok to have sex with him?” It’s a question we all want an answer to - but the thing is, there is no real answer.
What you need to steer clear of are circumstances that allow for many women to be hurt. There are of course, innumerable situations that women can be hurt in regarding sex, but here are some of the most common reasons women fall into this trap.
1. Fooling yourself into thinking that sleeping together means the same thing to him that it means to you.
2. You don’t tell him what is means to you, you just assume he knows, or you are too squeamish to talk about it with him.
3. Not knowing exactly know how you feel and what sleeping with him will mean to you until AFTER you sleep with him and a whole wave of feelings hit you like a tidal wave.
The thing is, there is something wonderful that happens when a man must WAIT to have sex with a woman he is interested in. In doing this, you are forcing him to evaluate his FEELINGS for you and his readiness for a relationship.
Having sex in the beginning of a relationship may just allow him to value you only for that, and not even get IN to the rest of you. He may see you only as a great time, and you will never know otherwise because some people can be very charming when they want something.
Of course, something similar can happen to a woman as well. If the sex comes too early in the relationship - you may begin feeling like you are ALREADY I a relationship with him - when he may be feeling no such thing.
This is the biggest reason WHY women should wait to have sex until the relationship has been established. Otherwise, a very big chasm may develop between what you THINK is happening with your “relationship” and what HE thinks is happening. You may think you are in a relationship because you have had sex, but more than likely, HE does not. That leaves you hurt, angry, and possibly alone.
Or - if you still want to begin a sexual relationship with him - talk to him first about what this means to you. TELL him how you feel - that having sex means that you are in a bonafide relationship. If he does not feel the same way, or he freaks out because you said the “R” word - you know he is not the man for you.
Waiting to have sex with a man has many benefits. It helps to ensure he is interested in you for YOU, it helps shield you from the hurt of misunderstanding, and it helps to weed out the wheat from the chaff. So be patient, grasshopper, and wait for it to be apparent that your new beau is on the fly before you give yourself to him completely.
