Get in there my Son   

Sex on a first date is just for one-night stands, right? Actually, no.

According to new book The Rough Guide to the Brain, sleeping with someone early on can increase your chances of a long-term relationship.

Author and biologist Dr Barry Gibb reckons romps spark chemical changes in the brain that lead to love. He explains: “During sex and particularly orgasm, the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin are released, which are associated with the build-up of commitment, bonding and trust.”

So if that’s the case, can it really be so wrong to bounce into bed together from day one?

Sarah Hedley, editor of womens' sex magazine Scarlet, thinks it's a bad idea.

"If it’s a one-night stand then fine, but if you’re considering a long-term relationship, there’s still stigma attached to getting it on the first night. Rushing into sex takes all the romance and the chase out of being with a new man. You could end up having a lot of terrible one-night stands and feel used."

But Dr Petra Boynton, a sex researcher at University College London, reckons first date sex can lead to much, much more.

"The decision to have sex on a first date depends on many factors, not least the individuals concerned. Maybe you’ve got to know the person beforehand via email or internet dating so while it’s technically a first date you’ve spoken to them a fair bit already.

It tends to work when there’s a genuine sense of trust from the beginning and you’ve gone for it because you really fancy each other without unrealistic expectations.

But some guys have double standards where they really like you, sleep with you and then decide they don’t want to be with you. It’s probably not going to work with the kind of man who’s likely to judge you or leave you based on certain things you do early shit eaters on in a relationship. And don’t do it just to keep somebody happy or because you’ve been single for ages and you feel that if you don’t do it now you’ll never have sex again.

The bottom line is that if you have a great evening, feel safe and fancy the hell out of each other, go for it."
