 I would put together the answers given by Lazy Guy and Cnith. There's your answer, in my humble, plagiarized opinion.

 It really don't matter, if we want it bad enough, we will wait and then dump your ass the moment we got it.
What you should be looking for is not a timer but how he really is. NOT to you, he wants in your pants, but to others.
You can't keep a man, if he don't want to stick around.

Hi,
I agree 100% with Rambini....if you have to sleep with him to "keep him" ..he's not worthy of you.
If he is presssuring you to sleep with him..then you have probaly lost him already.
If you dont respect yrself..then he wont respect you
Goodluck let us know how you get on

Guys don't leave you if you don't have sex with them within a few dates. If they are genuine, like you, want to get to know you, they will respect this and enjoy your company until YOU feel it's the right time. ONLY guys who are seeking sex without strings, are likely to use pushing tactics, to put pressure on you, insist you have sex with within say 3 dates - this is NOT acceptable, and does happen. So take your time, and include sex, making love with someone who you like, trust and feel comfortable with.Jilly x

 Wait until he is fully committed to you and only you and has shown that he really cares to also keep you. Some general indicators might be:
1) You've been labeled as his official gf in front of everyone and he has introduced you to his friends
1) Has said "I love you"
2) Has introduced you to his family
Those are very general signs of commitment, but you can also use other indicators.
Although I do not recommend it, I do know of some couples who have slept on the first date and are still together, but from my own experience that only works in like 1% of cases. I slept with someone after 2.5 months and he lost interest in me and dumped me half a month later....
If I had a chance to reverse things, I'd waited for 1,2,3 to have happened, then slept with him.
Hope this helps!

 Men aren't goldfish.. you don't KEEP them...
However, I think it really depends on YOUR morals, values and general ideas. For some it's 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months.
I guess what it comes down too for me, personally, is that when I was dating, I wanted to feel like I knew who I was involved with and what I was getting into. When I met my first BF we actually dated for 6 months before sleeping together, we were together for 4 1/2 years. It doesn't mean that if we had slept together earlier it wouldn't have lasted... Or if we had waited that it would have lasted longer.

 there is no textbook definition of how long you should wait, it is more about being dignified and demonstrating self respect. if you sleep with them very quickly, their opinion of you may lower, as they think you are like that with all guys.
generally a few months is ok, but it depends on your relationship, how often you see each other, how old you are etc so it is difficult to say exactly. the most important factor is that you feel comfortable, and feel that the relationship has progressed enough that there are strong feelings between you, and mutual trust and respect.
if you respect yourself, the man will respect you too.
best of luck x

 What an odd question to ask...I wonder if I can do the same to you...How long do you wait to get dressed in the morning in order to keep your job?What?Oh I know, not really related but that's how odd your question comes off to me.You don't keep a man by having sex. If that's your idea of keeping a man you have a TON of heartbreaks coming your way and a lot of men who'll be more than happy to use you.No honey, you don't keep a man with sex. You keep a man, a real man, by being who you are. When the two of you are close and loving, that's when you make love... or you have sex...but either way, you two are in a good place.And to be honest, no one ever "keeps" a man. He stays with you because he wants to, not because he is being kept. I mean, if my bf said to me, I just want to keep you around, it'd make me feel like a piece of furniture. Not good.Raise your self esteem and your worth, babe. If a guy only stays around because you give him sex, that's not a real man. Move his ass out the door.

this is something only you can decide.
I personally have a minimum 6 date rule minimum because I find the guys who are happy to wait tend to be the guys looking for more long term.
The guys who pressure you into it you already know thats all they are looking for because if they cant wait then they aren't really interested anyways.
My six date rule seems to work fine for me and they seem to have much more respect for me.
you eed to make sure you do it when you feel comfortable.
if this is your first time then deffinitly wait till your 100% certain that this is the man you want to lose your virginity to.
