Putting Out on the First Date? Why Not?

In my opinion, it just cuts to the chase.

Consider this: Relationships aren’t all about sex, but that’s a big part of it. I mean, you wouldn’t date and/or marry someone who wasn’t a spectacularly good lay, correct?

Now, there are certain things about people – let’s call them “personal quirks” – that might take a while to reveal themselves. Maybe she likes to pick fights with cab drivers when she’s drunk. Maybe he likes to paint “Red Sox 4 Eva” on his ass and sprint naked through the yard after each Sox victory. Maybe she keeps voodoo dolls of all her ex-boyfriends in the attic. All potential deal breakers – but also the sort of things that don’t become apparent ‘til a few weeks or months into the relationship. But a bad fuck? You’ll be able to spot that sucka the minute you get rolling.

So while some might consider you “slutty” for screwing on the first date, I would prefer to think of you as a cautious consumer, who’s simply performing responsible due diligence. Party on.
