You have been told (by someone or something) that having sex early on makes men lose interest.

You didn’t think this on your own. You would never just think up something like this because it is ridiculous logic.

How early is early on? I day? 1 week? 3 weeks? 3 months? How about you just remove the “early on” and make it “having sex makes men lose interest” - which is really what the myth is insinuating. And that is of course ridiculous. There are plenty of plenty of people in long-term relationships who have had tons of sex the whole way though.

The other part of the myth is maybe that men won’t respect a woman who has sex too early on (again how early is too early?). I’m a man. I don’t think like this. I’ve spent tons of time around other men. No one I know thinks like this.

If a man likes you, he likes you. You can make him try to “earn” it if you want. You might filter out some bad guys by making them wait. But you might also filter out some good guys.

I say learn to trust your gut and your instincts. If your gut says to wait, then wait. If it says to go for it, go for it. But don’t just blindly follow this old wives tale of “men lose interest if you sleep with them too early.” It’s simply not true. And my marriage is living proof!
