This part of the article was dishonest...

So, my friend directed the question to me: How long do you wait (in terms of number of dates) before you start thinking seriously about sex? Originally, I told her: five dates. But I thought about that number...
You thought about sex before you asked her out. Maybe not in a graphic sense, but something about her, you were sexually attracted to, so to say you don't seriously think about the sex until after 5 dates, is dishonest by nature.
Sex is the accumlation of mental and physical stimulation that can take place at any time.
There's no reason to put an arbitrary, self-constraining number on it.
Like 5 dates, as if you couldn't have fucked after any of the prior four dates, and if you couldn't, what happened during the 5th that made you mentally ok with it?
That's called the delay, which can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.
It's good when it comes across as no pressure, but even then your intentions, desires, have to be communicated prior to. It's bad when there's no communication, and you're just waiting for some sort of magic moment for everything to just pop off.
