Sex and relationships: a practical consideration

In terms of casual relationships and being fuckbuddies, I don't think that's what Avalokiteshvara was asking about in the first place.

So of course Rab and Denicalis are right in saying that there are people who DON'T want a lasting relationship and are only in it for the sex.
But what Avalokiteshvara was most likely asking is how a long-term relationship - as in two people who are dating with the intent of staying together - CHANGES when these two have sex for the first time together.

There are some people who DO have sex on a first date. And that may actually lead to a very healthy, long relationship. For others, that's just not how it works. For these people, sex on a first date may be what ruins the entire future of the relationship, and sometimes relationships DON'T work out because of sex on the first date.

Then there are some people who prefer not to have sex on the first date. The reasoning behind this is that if they are going to be together for a long time, why would they NEED to have sex RIGHT NOW?
A lot of people may say that it's because they're devout christians or something, but that's just taking the easy way out.
You don't HAVE to be religious to think that casual sex is wrong.
It depends on your moral upbringing - your parents, friends and family, and of course your own personal judgement.

In terms of sex in general (not just on the first date), it may change the dynamics of the relationship altogether. You may feel a stronger, closer connection with your partner than ever before; and sometimes you may feel just the same as before, as if nothing happened.
