When is it OK to have sex with a new partner?
1st date? 2nd date?
How do you know when it's time, when it's OK to take the relationship to the next level?

I personally have a difficult time when the arousal hit's the spot, but maybe that is because I am a man ?
However, I would never pressure my partner into a bad situation that she may regret and despise me for.
Society really has no business dictating rules like "no sex on the first date", this is an individual choice and freedom and providing it's "safer" sex, the liaison doesn't permanently change either person. As long as both people are feeling the passion, go for it!
When I wanted to pursue a serious relationship I never, never pushed for sex the first date. My wife has tell me many times that one of the things she loved about me the first date is that I didn't ask for sex, even though I wanted to make love to her from the first time I met her. She tells me that she would tell her friends that I was a gentleman because I didn't ask for sex the first date. 15 years later I still want her all the time I can't ever get enough of her; I love her curves, and everything about her. We make love almost every night.

My bad...but you were still more fortunate than both of us - you got the pleasure of sex on the first date, and had a head start on sexual compatibility because of it. Kudos to you for "going for it". Again, we were very, very lucky in being so compatible but not learning that we were until after we had fallen hopelessly in love....I have a friend that usually has sex on her first dates... then is surprised and heart broken when she doesn't get a second date or when she finds out the guy has a girlfriend or wife.
On a perfect date where you both got along and were both into each other and agreed and were honest about not caring or caring as much about sex as the other person... sex on the first date would probably work.
But to go along with what others have said, I think it should depend on how comfortable each other is with their partner. If things seem to click, I don't see why not sex on a first date could be ruled a bad thing
