The first thing I would recommend is an assessment of your own reservations. But if you don't know how to broach the topic when a new partner is looking at you like some kind of delicious dish served at a feast, let's look at how to respond when you don't want to have sex yet - but might want to in the future. (It can, according to a 2010 study, actually make relationships better.) Everybody has their own approaches and attitudes to intimacy sexual histories and experiences are pretty individual things. If that happens to you, that's fine! Don't panic! You aren't frigid or bizarre if you really like somebody and think they're smoking hot, but aren't ready to take your clothes off yet. Relationships progress at highly varying speeds, and it can sometimes be the case that one new partner is ready to become sexually intimate while the other one isn't quite there yet.
