First Date Sex?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Is it ever wise to sleep with someone you are genuinely interested in pursuing a relationship with on a first date?

We’re divided in opinion here at JustSingles.com so we thought we’d put the question to you.

Does it really make a difference in this day and age if you are both genuinely attracted to each other?  Is life too short not to go with the flow?

Is it ok to let the chemistry bubble over and drown out common sense?  Or does it convey the impression that you hit the sack with all your first dates, and lead to a morning-after packed with regret?

Would you, or is it a definite no-no?  Let us know your views and experiences by leaving a comment below.
