Greetings folks, Here's an interesting article on the science behind delaying intimacy in relationships. It's from the hetero world but I think applies equally everywhere else... How Delaying Intimacy Can Benefit Your Relationship | The Art of Manliness I haven't formed any definitive opinions about it yet. Your thoughts?
It's a nice read and strongly recommended for people on this forum. I think that delaying intimacy in a relationship does help solidify the union. By not doing the deed so soon, it allows couples to create intimacy through other means of action. This means that both partners are investing time, energy, and resources for the other. By doing so, breaking off the relationships becomes more and more difficult when there were a lot of stake already placed into it. So, as a general rule, if you are looking for something more long-term, hold off getting freaky until you know the person a bit more than their basic info
I think it is good to delay some, but I don't like the idea of waiting until marriage. I am the type that will want to have feelings for the person I am with before having sex. I am not sure what my deciding factor will be.
