Have namechanged - in case I am indeed verging on slutty behaviour, which would be a bit shameful.
I split from my ex nearly two years ago. Since the summer, I have started to date again, and am enjoying the fun of it and feeling sexy again.
A couple of dates didn't come to anything. With another, there was a lot of chemistry there and we slept together on the third date, and regularly for a month afterwards. That was a lot of fun, even though it didn't work out. I have very recently started seeing someone else and, again, feel the urge to get into bed fast. Having been in one relationship from my teens to 30, I don't know what's considered 'normal' or acceptable, but am beginning to wonder if my urge to hop in the sack early on wouldn't be considered wise.
These are the reasons why I think I may be keen to sleep with a new partner early on:
- High sex drive;
- Want to know early on if there's sexual chemistry and a connection in bed (and clean enough, keen to pleasure/be pleasured, etc), since a lack of it will be a dealbreaker;
- I didn't do the playing around and working out what I do and don't like in a man thing when I was younger, so am enjoying slightly playing the field now.
For the record, I am not two-timing anyone, I am using condoms, and am dating only when my son is away with his dad - not when he's around.
Am I behaving like a slut? Or is it actually OK to want to race into the sack after a few weeks if the spark's there?
