i think that couples should only start having intercourse after they both feel secure...i mean i know people who just started doing it for the hell of it and broke up a week later...i mean that a buncha bullcrap...as for me i tell the girl that i wont do it with her unless she is positively sure that she is ready to move on to that stage of our relationships and that she won't regret it if and wen we finally decide that were ready...
