One-Third of Women Who Meet People Online Have Sex on First Date
It's confirmed: Online dating is the way to go if you're looking to get lucky. According to a recent survey published by the Sexuality Research and Social Policy research journal, one-third of women who meet people online have sex on the first date, and a whopping three-quarters of those surveyed do not use a condom. Meanwhile, a mere 27-percent engage in oral sex on the first day.
That's right, online dating is like grazing a lush field of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs).
The high likelihood of sex on the first date is partially attributable to an increased comfort level. According to the survey, having extended or multiple conversations with a person online can decrease the tension and general awkwardness that accompanies a first date. The sense of familiarity not only increases the chances for intercourse, but it also will make a person more likely to cast off better judgment and go sans condom. That, and, of course, alcohol.
They neglected to mention that pretty much 100 percent of men will have sex on the first date -- if given the chance.
Okay, you can stop giggling now.

Having sex on the first date is pure insanity, but some people just aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, are they? Having sex on the first date is like giving it away--saying you are worth nothing--just easy, stupid, and cheap--whether you are a woman or a man. It's so important to get to know someone before you make love as you don't really know who or what that person is. Be smart, be careful, take your time, and find love as well as sex. Your body is sacred and so is making love. Sex is so much more powerful when you add love to the mix.

What a bunch of bullcrap the below it:
You need to to know that OB-GYNs, or any other kind of doctor or surgeon, have much too busy lives to mess around with these comment columns."
"Dr L" is just a bullshitter playing games with people.

"Dr L says:
This is definitely on the list of a stupid things women do to hurt themselves."
"I am an OB-GYN doctor in a nice Florida suburb."

With regard to this topic, here is a short article that fascinated me (a free-spirited guy). It's from a 2006 student publication at the University of Michigan.
-----------------------
Talking with some of my friends lately, it has occurred to me that maybe women today aren't as liberated as we'd like to think were are. How many times have you heard a girlfriend's story of giving some guy head at a party? It happens pretty often, right? A little beer, a little hooking up . . . it's an old story. Now think for a minute how many guys you've heard talking about getting drunk and returning the favor. Any? It seems like girls performing oral sex is a natural part of partying, while for a guy to do the same thing it is a show of deep devotion -- reserved for "serious" relationships.
Why are girls so accepting of this arrangement? It certainly isn't for selfish pleasure. Not many women can honestly say that being on her knees is her favorite place to be. What in society has made it practically mandatory for women to perform acts that men consider disgusting, demeaning, and beneath them?*
Perhaps it’s a society-wide case of low self-esteem. An entire generation of women are so unsure of their appeal that they subjugate and lower themselves to any level in order to appear attractive. Is it possible that we are so insecure that we’re willing to go to these lengths to meet the (sometimes) ridiculous demands of men?
Maybe men are just more demanding than women. The male generation has made it a practice to search for gratification while the female population has become diminutive and unwilling to express their desires. If asking for what you want means getting it, then it might be beneficial for women to start speaking a little louder.
Thinking through this, I have to wonder what’s happened to women. What happened to the generations of women fighting for suffrage, for equality, for justice? When did we begin to bend ourselves to the wishes of guys we met at a party and barely even know? Whatever the reason behind our sudden departure from our wishes, I think women should go back to doing what we want.
* [A comment from this middle-aged male: I think the author is wrong here; there’s a significant share of men who enjoy orally pleasing their partners. Perhaps, however, there is a problem with young men still feeling a bit put off by the thoughts of using their mouths and tongues “down there.” With a bit of experience, they’ll get over that reluctance.]

1) Everyone likes sex and sometimes that's all you need.
2) Women are getting desperate nowadays. No one has learned the art of courtship and women earn more disrespect than respect these days.
3) As a woman, I would never expect to see a man I slept with on a first date ever again. I just wanted to get laid...fair enough, they didn't complain. It's not a habit...just the occasional release, men do it, why can't we?
4) Women looking a for real love need to keep their legs crossed..period. If you want respect ladies...earn it!

Sirona...you have it your way and others will have it theirs. Sex is one of the most powerful driving forces for humans (along with money). Primitive man didn't need 'love' to procreate. It's nice to feel in love, but doesn't make someone a bad person to want to have sex with someone. Stop listening to all those angels in your head saying 'my mother said this was bad'.

I guess I'm one of the blessed minority. I'm a guy, and NEVER have sex on the first date. I pissed off 3 different women I was dating last year because my personal rule of thumb is to wait AT LEAST a month before doing the deed. I was kicked to the curb each time because I wasn't putting out.

The opposite sex is everywhere, unless you are in prison. Not just bars, morons. Try supermarkets, streets, buses, subways---get the idea, stupid? Talk to someone. You have not time to go out, but you have time to type on these keyboards. Check on you later, losers.

I don't like safe sex that much, yeah and for me I probably would hit it on the first date. But the reasons for it are a-lot more complicated than the answers your putting out on why people do this.
Morals are subjective, as long as no one is hurting the other one I don't think it's that bad.
As for the safe sex situation it has to do with the fact that most condoms completely destroy the sensation for me while having sex. The feeling is actually kinda worse then not even having it.
I heard there are "special condom types" as well but these are rare to find I think (ones with a pouch?).

your numbers have to off, granted every girl not just online has slept with me on the first date, but every girl i have met online i have slept with on the first date, this does bother me a bit now seeing how i want something to actually mean something but every girl i have met online has put out on the first date. So i dont know if the people taking your polls are telling the truth
