Sex On The First Date

I don't know how valid this study is, or if it was reported properly - after all, this is Fox News we're talking about - but I thought I'd take a stab at it. According to this stody, 1 in 3 women who meet their "dates" online and spend a lot of time chatting online at first will have sex with him once they meet for the first time.

Makes sense to me.

If I had been chatting online with someone on a daily basis over the course of several months, I'd feel that I knew him very well. Meeting him in person for the first time would not be like a blind date. I'd have already established a rapport with him, even though it was in cyberspace. I would already be attracted to him if that was to be an issue. We would have exchanged pictures, so I'd know what he looked like. Yes, I'd have sex with him the first time we met in person if I was interested.

Plus, the study found that 1 in 3 women will have sex the first time they meet their online love. Turn those numbers around, and you get "two-thirds of women do not have sex on the first date after chatting with the man in question online." The reality is that most women don't have sex when they first meet the guy.

I do take issue with this finding: three quarters of the women who had sex on the first date did not use protection. I would buy condoms before embarking on sex with any man. I don't want to get pregnant. Disease would also be a concern, but not as much.
