"Fast, fast, fast pain relief, said one commercial. How long should you wait to have sex? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating, and host of Ask Dr. Paul. Well, the classic question. How long should you wait before you have sex? There are many, many answers to that question, and it doesn't depend on anything other than you, but then you expected me to say that, didn't you? Don't tell someone, well I wait a year, I wait six weeks. It has to be a spontaneous thing. You know that inside voice that you need to listen to, will tell you. Let's be honest about it. You and I have all gotten involved with somebody, where the chemistry was right. Oftentimes people are married forever, when that chemistry is right, and it happens immediately. There's no time clock out there. There's no should you do this and should you do that? Because Dr. Paul doesn't believe in you shoulding on yourself, or allowing anyone else to should on you, and you cannot believe the callers I have had, who say, Well, I was told this and I was told that. Forget what other people tell you. You do what feels good for you, all right? It's important to you, how you relate to that other person. Its' the spontaneity, the chemistry, the magnetism. It's the feeling. There's no time limit. There's no stopwatch. It's not a matter of days, hours, weeks, or months. It's a matter of how you feel, how you feel about yourself, and how you feel about the other. That's what it's all about. This is life. Hey, life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. It's the real thing. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today, be your realities of tomorrow."
