Is It OK To Have Sex On the First Date?

By Delaina Dixon | August 27, 2015 | Relationships

It’s #HowToThursday DivaGals, and we’re talking sex. It’s a question every girl asks herself as she’s smack dab in the middle of the perfect first date with an irresistible suitor. Can she? Should she? Is having sex on a first date acceptable, or will it ruin her chances of ever seeing him again?

DivaGals spoke with sex therapist Dr. Mike Dow from E!’s provocative series Sex With Brody (starring Caitlyn Jenner‘s son, Brody!) to get his take.

“If two meet and they are into it and have sex on the first date, great. Have I had sex on the first date? Yes I have, in my twenties,” Dr. Dow admits, but cautions moving ahead so quickly if you’re going to feel crappy about it afterwards.

“I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with it. But I would say that most people who tend to have sex on the first date need to look at what they are needing in their lives and what they are not getting ΓÇô are you too hungry for love and replacing it with this?”

Dr says asks yourself, “Are you so addicted to that pleasure and such a sensation seeker that you have that booty call and then have P.O.D. ΓÇô post-orgasmic disgust?” He adds, “I believe we need to be having more sex, but with less people.”

We DivaGals are a diverse bunch: we have gals who abstain from sex until they are in committed, monogamous relationships (and some who do wait for their wedding night!), to gals who openly explore their fetishes with multiple partners.

But we all do agree on one thing: it’s nice to connect intimately with someone you’ve also had the chance to get to know and connect with mentally and spiritually. That usually takes some time to establish.
