Really on topic, I remember reading a book by Fay Weldon a few years ago (I think it was Trouble, but not positive) in which her main characters slept together right after meeting each other. The author opined that although many people thought that sleeping together after a first date destroyed any potential for a long-term relationship, what really happened was just that the relationship was fast-forwarded and if it would have been a successful relationship absent the early fuck, it still will be and if it wouldn't have worked out for other reasons, the early fuck will make those reasons stand out more clearly.
The moral of this post is that I read too much and don't have sex enough.

I am clearly in no position to answer on my own behalf, as I clearly don't have anywhere near enough sex (combination of being supremely unagressive, terrible at reading signals and hideously ugly), but I have a friend who regularly confides in me about her realtionships with men.
She has often advances the theory that you can't have a successful relationship if you have sex too early. Hard to tell if she is right, as she usually is saying this after it to too late to tell, but my instinct is that most relationships aren't "successful" anyway, so who really cares?
Whether you end up regretting the encounter the next day, or two months later, does it really matter?
Theoretically I see it as a fast forward thing. But again, how would I know?
