What's a good amount of time to wait for sex?

Me and my boyfriend have been going out for a week but we've decided we're gunna wait until we sleep together! We decided about a month so we know we're serious! I want to do it sooner but I don't want him to juust use me for s*x! How long do you think a good legnth of time would be?

Why are you rushing into things soooo fast? That is not a good start for a healthy relationship! If you have sex now, how will you know its you he wants or just the sex? You give it up that quick to a boy youve only been with for a week hun, and he WONT have any respect you whatsoever! Guys see sex as totally physical and don't get their emotions involved, especially if feelings dont take time to develop! If you dont want to feel/be used, then I suggest WAITING until youve spent more time as a couple and getting to know one another on a first level before bringing sex into the picture! Sex is NOT the only way to show your love for another person!!! Love and sex are NOT the same thing. You cant possibly love someone after only 1 week, so how can you possibly think of having sex already?

Your teenage years bring a lot of changes in how you feel about yourself, family, friends and potential love interests - even if you don't think about sex. No matter what your feelings on sex are, it may be smart to wait until something 'feels right.' And even then, it's a good idea to wait even longer! If it's truly love, and it's meant to be, it will survive and even grow stronger without sex. If it isn't, then you will be really glad you waited and found that out, before you got intimately involved on a physical level.

I do not think there is necessarily any certain amount of time that people have to wait before they have s*x, but it's something they certainly have to be ready for.

Do you know about STDs?
Do you know about birth control?
Do you have access to birth control that you know how to use?
Do you have a plan for what you would do in case your birth control failed?
Do you have a way to get to the ob-gyn for your yearly checkup?
Are you comfortable going to the ob-gyn if you notice anything abnormal?
Do you feel comfortable talking to your partner about all of this stuff?
Do you know about fertility and reproductive anatomy?

Well, We talk about everything(me and my partner) We talk about pregnancy, STI's, Getting checked! We discussed we'd only do it when it feels right! We even talked about if I said I didn't want to he'd stop! WE decided on a month! I just don't know if that's the right ammount of time!:D

theres not a set time you have to wait it boils down to when your ready !! just be carefull and protect your self std's are so common quite scary there are some std's that are threating to your health more than others also pregnancy is another issue so if you care for your man and your ready go for it !!

come you got think. just like the other said you are rushing things. and not only that your 12.
