Summary

When should you have sex with someone new, and is there such a thing as "too soon?"

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common questions about timing, boundaries, and emotional pacing when it comes to sex in early dating. You’ll learn how to know when you’re ready, how to avoid confusing chemistry for connection, and what to do if you want to slow things down after moving too fast.


Are you ready for sex? (reflection questions)

Do I know my intentions?

Do I know their intentions?

Do I trust this person emotionally and physically?

Can we talk comfortably about boundaries and protection?

Am I okay with any possible outcome?
