How soon should you spend the night with someone?

There's no one answer." "Some people it's been first date, some people it's like three or four, some folks I've dated I never wound up staying over before we stopped seeing each other." "I'd say one date than sleepover. Usually I like one semi-awkward date and then it there's a second we sleep together.

Whether you sleep with a new boo on the first date, after getting married, or literally never — when it comes to sex, the only rule is consent. If you and your partner(s) are consenting adults, getting it on in whatever way feels right is right. And while your preferences are your own, it can sometimes be helpful to hear the experiences of others when finding what works best for you. From knowing how long to date before sleeping over to how often to sleep over — listening to friends, big sisters, or heck, even some sage strangers, can help in refining your own preferences. Having sex is one thing, but sometimes, spending the night can totally be another. If you've stressed about navigating how many dates you should go on before sleeping over at a new boo's, you're not alone. Old ( and sexist and slut-shame-y) rhetoric often warns against sleeping over on the first date, whereas quippy internet-feminist T-shirts may tell us to "Be a slut! Do whatever you want!" But how do we know what we want? When it comes to finding the ins and outs of getting it on, speaking with others can often help you feel more supported in the sex that you're having. I spoke with nine women about how long they choose to see someone before spending the night. 01 Third Time's A Charm Giphy "I would say three dates would be a suffice round number. But I mean one is also totally OK." —Kenna, 24 02 No One Answer Giphy "It always depends. It always depends. How I'm feeling, how they're feeling. There's no one answer." —Lena, 27 03 It Depends Giphy "Some people it's been first date, some people it's like three or four, some folks I've dated I never wound up staying over before we stopped seeing each other." -Jenna, 25 04 Just One Giphy "I'd say one date than sleepover. Usually I like one semi-awkward date and then it there's a second we sleep together. Pretty consistent pattern for me." — Alexis, 22 05 No Dates Giphy "I don't really date like normal people. I go out a lot and usually end up going home with people I meet that night." —Alesin, 23 06 Cancer Queen Giphy "Probably three or four times we hooked up before she was like at my house. But idk I'm a Cancer so I'm always like come over, 'Let's order in!' haha." — Zoe, 23 07 Give It Time Giphy "As Stevie Nicks would say, 'Time makes you bolder' take as much time as you need!" — Soph, 25 08 Not On The First Giphy "Hmmm ... I don’t think there’s a formula. Depends on how comfortable you are with the person and how serious you wanna get. But as a general rule, not on the first date." — Macy, 30

Do men sleep closer to the door?

Some listeners claim that they choose the right side as a way to "protect" their significant other. When sleeping, they choose the side that is closest to the door. In the event of a home invasion, the man would be able to put himself between his partner and the attacker.

A startling nine out of 10 of our male listeners all sleep on the same side of the bed. We think we may have some reasons why. A recent study was published by Sleep Review Magazine that claims 54% of Americans prefer the right side of the bed. The same study shows that men are 14% more likely than women to "win" the right side of the bed. In our own unscientific study, however, the numbers were even greater. An overwhelming majority of men (practically 9 in 10) tell us that they all sleep on the right side of the bed. And their reasons for doing so are all very different. Some listeners claim that they choose the right side as a way to "protect" their significant other. When sleeping, they choose the side that is closest to the door. In the event of a home invasion, the man would be able to put himself between his partner and the attacker. This all sounds quite paranoid, but it's about as good of an explanation as some of the others we've received. Another listener said that he only sleeps on the right side because of the location of their bathroom. His wife demands that she be the closest to the facilities. Regardless of the reason, it seems like we've discovered a pretty big pattern here. Undoubtedly, most men are telling us that they sleep on the right-hand side. This leads me to my own theory. You see, most people are right handed, so it only makes sense that a man would be more comfortable on the right side of his partner, leaving his dominant hand free for... well, what we call the "honk honk" or boob-grab.

Hey, it's science!
