People on the street share their thoughts about how long you should wait to have sex in this iVillage video clip.



If you had been interviewed on the street, what would your answer have been?

I think people should refrain from sex until they are mature enough to walk into the pharmacy and without shame or regret, buy condoms

I second that... especially given that they're out on the rack now! In the days of my youthful indiscretions, you actually had to ask the fierce looking lady behind the pharmacy counter for them.

Hi Misty...


I think I would know immediately upon meeting a person if I had any sexual interest in them whatsoever.


I would, however, wait until I knew them well enough to satisfy my own mind before I would act on it.


I would not want to put myself in the position of waking up

I third that, Tracy!

It depends on both individuals, whether they both want it and are both ready for it. And if they are ready for it, they have condoms ready, too (or they walk to the train station at 2 in the morning to get a box from the pharmacy rofl rofl).

Good Morning, Poppy. I'm so glad I don't have to practice safe sex! Somehow heading for the train station to get to the pharmacy seems like it would kill the mood. With your double rofl there, I wonder if you have an interesting story to share?

Well, in this case I both waited one whole season (he was a friend of my flatmate's whom I had met whilst he was visiting P in the spring) but also only a few hours. When he first came to visit P, he was with someone. When he came again to visit in the autumn, he was single. I wasn't quite sure whether he was attracted to me or not (but I did wear my leather skirt with the very long slit just in case heh heh) and I don't think he had anticipated that things were going to go that far that fast. That night we were all partying at another friend's house that was just out of town - so we called a taxi in order to get back home and when we realized that neither had condoms we trekked to the train station at 2 in the morning. It's a good thing my apartment was only 10 minutes away from the station!

It was a fun week for both of us, and for me it was a fun way to celebrate 39,5 (he was 27). I don't think he quite realized how much older than I was until a few months later when I told him that I was planning my 40th birthday party...

Thanks for the rest of the story, Poppy!

Sounds like a very memorable week :-)

I suppose each person needs to make their own decision as to when the time is right.

Although it seemed to me that a lot of those interviewed didn't even given themselves enough time to learn the guy's middle name, let alone determine that the relationship was a viable one... sounded more like sex as recreation rather than sex as love...
