well we all know how *I* think sex is the bees knees.
For me it is important to really like someone a lot before we get naked because sex is all about being open and connecting on an intimate level for me. That said I'm a lot more sure about who I want to connect with these days and better at weeding during the email stage so I'm probably ready to get naked a lot sooner than you are. Being sterile also removes a big stressor for me. Good luck with the balance.
