I just started dating a man and I told him that my personal rule for myself is that sex has to wait. I used it as a weapon in the past, thinking that sex was the only way a guy would like me. So for me, I need to begin the relationship not based on sex. He is in agreement, so we're waiting, but MAN is it hard....I just started dating him and already I want to rip his clothes off, but I'm not.

I never needed sex so bad that it drove me nuts...I do fine on my own when I'm not with someone. I have had "friends with benefits" though. Well just one. We've been good friends for years and like each other physically. But it only happened once in the past year. I think for some people, the friends with benefits thing works if there's absolutely no emotional attachment for both people, but I think thats rare to find.
