My Three Highest Dating/Relationship Priorities

  1. Honesty + Forthrightness
  2. Intellectual Openness
  3. Emotional Connection

In support of these highest values, in addition to lots of conversation, I am very open to kissing, cuddling, "making out", AND sexual contact, however, I forbid either of us from driving for orgasm, while we are together, until after the 3rd to 5th applicable date with each other.

You may think, upon first encounter, that my rule is odd, but consider the realities of what I am talking about:

Sexual contact does indeed facilitate emotional connection, honesty, and openness, but driving to orgasm is predominately a selfish act on the part of either person... it is mentally and emotionally isolating, and it turns sharing sexual contact into a robotic, self-serving activity. Therefore, I forbid it, until we know each other a lot better. If you think about it, as I have, it makes a lot of sense.

Know where you are coming from , it's too easy to get hurt badly without holding back feelings of loving and caring, learn first if they can be a part of your life

In order to feel any inclination toward intimate contact, which includes anything beyond hugging or holding hands, I have to feel some trust for the person I'm seeing. How long it takes for that trust to develop can't be determined, but I'd guess a vague "several" encounters and lots of conversation. If a man demonstrates impatience with this, it's obvious that our relationship goals are very different. When it comes to sex, intimacy and connection are more gratifying and significant to me than orgasm. Sexuality and emotion are intertwined for me.

I take away the selfishness by concentrating on HER orgasm... Not mine. There is NOTHING more beautiful than a woman having an orgasm! Nothing.

But I do see your point. 😉

@adaptable1958 She could be... But I try to avoid Catholics... 😉
