Whats a good amount of time that a couple should wait before intercourse?

at least until they get to an apartment!

Whenever they want to. I personally wait 5 months or so.

6 years

6 months would be ideal, but 6 days would be more realistic.

When your good to go have some fun .

There is no time limit. When it is the right time it happens.

gotta test the waters, lol

A couple of drinks at least.

Marriage

Whenever the hell you want

Personally, I wouldn't have sex with someone unless I had deep feelings for them. I don't care the time, but unless I know I love the man and know the relationship will last for a while, then that's when I would have sex. I really don't care about the waiting for marriage thing, since I find it a bit pretentious to tell others to wait. Honestly, if you know you both have strong feelings for each other, go for it.

actually the perfect amount of time it will be as practally until the couple is married because when the couple waits till they both get married together and have a home of their own they could finally release it release the love.its more romantic. ima going to do that with my boyfriend.get married in white still a virgin. it beautiful. so its better when you wait because it shows you love him or her.it romantic and beautiful so wait until your married.

But if you get married as a virgin, you have no idea whether your guy is nutty or not in bed. Trust me - there are some weird issues that some men have that you don't find out until you have sex. Also, the time immediately following a wedding is still stressful, and doesn't make for relaxed lovemaking. Lastly, the first few times for a woman can be painful. It's no way to start a marriage. (And why are you saying that YOU will be a virgin, but not saying anything about his status in that dept.? The idea of the wife being a virgin stemmed from the old days when men needed to feel that their woman had NO ONE to COMPARE him with in bed. I think it's a BAD, and welcomely outdated idea.)

Would it really matter if he was naughty or not? As long as your with the right person, you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Depends upon how long you want the foreplay to last.

Does 20 minutes of begging count as foreplay?

It does in the South.

LOL On your knees? or from the top of the sheets?

Cut to the chase.

If you like the person and they like you, then why wait? The first time is never special...lol. just awkward.... Its meant to be that way so you can try again...and again.. and again ;-P

This has always been a controversel question! Every person thinks differently on this one. The real truth is your supposed to wait til Marriage before going on to this. though this truth may make you angry. This is the whole truth..

Start with phone sex when you call her to ask her for the date. Then give her an opportunity to open the front door when you arrive for the date before actual intercourse begins! LOL !

I am no bible thumper but I would go for the marriage before sex thing. Sex is the closest you can ever be to someone that level of intimacy for me is reserved for my future husband but I'm not everyone. I would say that you would know when you are ready.

Hi Ladypendy! I hope you'll scroll up to see what I wrote to TheNewPain, above...

At least until you finish the first round of cocktails.

Usually about 20 minutes to recharge my batteries.

You mean like....round two? STAT !

When both parties have communicated that they are ready for that step, then you're ready. Time span ranges depending on couple. It has been said wait until marriage, but in this day and age very few believe in doing it that way. And if they do believe in it, they are pressured into doing the opposite.
One thing I will say, once its done its done. You cannot undo it or wish it away.

How ever long it takes to find someplace private. Please...not in public.

As long as it takes to whip your junk out!

In all honestly how ever long feels right to them.

Well....when was a kid, my mother used to make me wait a half hour after eating before I could go swimming.....
Not sure

Definitely depends on the consenting couple and their individual perspectives.

Whenever it feels like the right time

there's no answer to that, really. it all depends. some people get real close real quickly. me and my boyfriend really clicked from the first few weeks, other people take time to get a level of trust and being comfortable around each other. others just plow right in and do it! no one should ever let anyone tell them they have to wait X amount of months, or that they should do it soon cause it's been this long, because it's totally up to the individuals and the relationship between them

two different issues, my friend.

the first step to resolving a problem is admitting you have one

In this day and age, I have no idea.
