Am I naive in thinking that on a first date nothing more than kissing should happen?
Q. am i naive in thinking that on a first date nothing more than kissing should happen? My friends and I were discussing this today and when I said i would never sleep with someone on the first date, they all said they wouldn't rule it out... But ...
A. 20 June 2012: I never did work out the best amount of time to wait to have sex. Yes it does go on a lot and I'm sure a lot of guys expect sex on the first or second date. What I hated the most, was on the second date, a guy who said he loved me, just to try and ... (read in full...)

Should I just have a one night stand?
Q. I'm a female in my mid twenties and haven't had sex in over eight months. I am constantly horny and masturbate almost everyday. I have never had a one night stand with a guy because I always feared stds and what not as well as my reputation because ...
A. 19 June 2012: To put this in perspective, I'm sure I read that around 50% of us have had ONS at some point. So when you talk about your reputation, chances are other people in your small town have done this as well, even if it was a few years ago. I'm pretty sure ... (read in full...)
