How Soon is too Soon?

Decing on the right time to have sex when dating has always been a conflicting topic.  As a  teen  I always thought that  there should be at least  a year or more of dating before the "Big Bang" because two people should know the inside out of each other before they actually start getting too intimate. However, as i become older I get to realize that that is not always the case.

They are couples who have been dating for years before sex and as soon as they start having sex things get sour and they break up. While there are other couples who have sex even the first time they net and for some miraculous reason they are still together for years to come.

I still believe that couples should start out as friends first, but what i do not agree with is for others to be too judgemental of others when they do not follow the "norm"" because at the end of the day it all comes down to personality.
