5 Reasons Waiting For Sex Rocks

Everyone has very different views on sex, which are influenced by culture, background, even family or friends. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve had sex before, it’s perfectly ordinary to wonder if you’re ready to have or continue having sex with somebody.

Having sex, just once, can result in pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, Herpes, or HIV.
Sex is a big deal; it can have an impact on your emotions and happiness, both in a positive way and a negative way. So before jumping into bed, here are a few top reasons why waiting for sex might be the best thing for you:

1. Waiting gives you time to understand who you are
I know, I know. You’ve heard it all before. Discover who you are. Become self-aware. Well it’s true! Think about it, you need to know how you deal with things emotionally and what you want. If you jump into having sex with someone thinking it will lead to a relationship, you might end up getting hurt. You have to ask yourself, how will I feel after doing it?

2. You can explore your (other) sexual desires
Yes. There are other ways of pleasuring yourself other than just having penetrative sex. Explore your pleasure spots. You might wonder what the fun in that is, but it’ll definitely help for when you do eventually become sexually active. You’ll know exactly where you like being caressed or stroked. The G-Spot isn’t the only spot for him or her to please. You and your partner can also try out different things, sensual massage, or kissing, and lots of it!

3. Build a deeper connection with your partner
The deepest connection any couple can make is emotional. Having sex or any other physical activities does not mean you will feel any closer to your partner than you did beforehand. So use the time to discover who they really are deep down inside, before you decide to commit to them physically. Talk openly with your partner about sex, you should feel comfortable enough to have a discussion on the subject and talk about contraception, so when you’re both ready, it feels right.

4. You know you are doing it for the right reasons
There is nothing worse than doing something because you are forced or feel pressured into doing it. Feeling pressured by your partner is one way you can know that they are not with you for the right reasons. Peer pressure is another reason why people rush into sex. Remember, having sex early does not mean you are mature.

5. You have time to plan your first time!
We’ve heard a lot of stories about how people have lost their virginity in ludicrous situations. It may be a funny tale to tell, but given the chance many people would have preferred a more romantic setting for their first time. Take the time to plan where and when you want to sex, whether for the first time or with a new partner. Rose petals, maybe a little bubbly, and a sexy playlist to get you and your boo going!
