I think the issue of when sexual activity should happen between a couple depends on the beliefs that the couple has. I know a lot of people, especially in our society now, don't think very much about just having sex whenever they want. Personally, I don't believe that sexual activity should take place between a couple until they are fully committed to each other, as in they are engaged in a lifelong commitment, which I guess in other words is marriage. I don't believe that marriage is about signing a document though. I think that the act of having sex itself is what binds a couple together; when a couple has sex, that is when they are married. This is a whole other topic on its own, so I'm just going to stop it at that. But based on the beliefs that I have, I think the whole sex on the third date thing is absolutely ridiculous and appalling. It's sickening to me that society even set that as some sort of standard in the subject of dating. I'm not sure that you even know someone that well on the third date; in my opinion, to truly know someone, it takes time and effort. If you don't know someone very well, it's difficult to decide to be fully committed to him or her, which in my opinion, means you should not be engaging in any form of sexual activity.
