On the first date?

As the title to this blog post sets the stage, that yes, I'm talking about sleeping with a guy/girl on the first date. Do you or don't you?

Have times changed enough that the judgment of doing so become more relaxed? Can you sleep with someone on the first date and not be seen as a slut or boom move on to someone else because they gave it up? Does this rule more apply to women or men? 

Okay enough questions about it, lets talk about. I think there are 2, well questionably 3 scenarios that come to mind when/if you sleep with your date on your first meet. 

1.  Depends on what kind of interaction you've had before this date (this kinda pertains to those who've you met through online). You've chatted a long time, weeks maybe before hand. Have a good sense of each other. You meet, the date was just as good as your conversations were before you met, maybe even better. If it comes to that part of the night and you are just both so into each other, you've already had this build up to this point before meeting. Go for it! Why not. What's the difference between the first date and the 3rd to sleep with them? It shouldn't change anything. 

2. You've met only a short bit before online, or however you met in person via friends, or whatever, but this is your first date with them. If you hit it off pretty well, and that tempting situation comes up. Why not?! We are all adults, and all cards should be on the table. Is she/he considered 'easy' because they did... in my opinion that is assuming they do that every first date and maybe she/he did because she felt the connection, but if you don't you judge. Is that a fair opinion?

3. a. Quick meet, sexual chemistry is there but maybe not long term potential. You're both single, make the call... And go for it. Have fun. But be clear, leaving the other to hang with possible intentions is just cruel and unnecessary. 
3. b. Or don't sleep with them, get to know them better and make a better judgement call without so much wine in you that you had to calm your nerves. Lol 

Here is a cute clip from an older film, 1989's The Tall Guy, of Emma Thompson's character (Kate) talking to Jeff Goldblum's character (Dextor) about sleeping with a guy on the first date.

I guess my opinion in all this, if you want to, go for it. Its silly to be judged if you choose to the first night. besides, that is a part of someone you need to know about them as well. What if 3 dates or even 6 dates or more in and sex falls flat, its unattractive. That becomes an issue in the long run,  couples compatibility in the bedroom is just as important as their compatibility is in other areas of a relationship. But both parties should be clear. Either upfront or after. Don't leave anyone hanging, that's just unfair and we live in a society where truth needs to be more relevant than these old games people play. Seriously people, just lay your cards on the table with the next couple attempts at dates and see what the worst that can happen. I believe too many assume the worst/are too chicken to be honest and it really is kinda ridiculous.

What is your opinion?
