    Whatever gender, it is generally more acceptable for both people to get to know each other before sex because the consequences of sex can last beyond that evening. Not only can feelings be hurt, but the woman might get pregant, and either partner can get STDS. The most important issue for society is probably the potential child since the most acceptable family style is still the nuclear family, for better or worse. If the two people don't know even know each other, chances are slimmer that they will end up parenting the child in the traditional fashion - or impossible if you believe "traditional" means marriage first, then children.

    It's not unacceptable for a man to ask for sex before getting to know a woman, but be prepared to be refused, and to not get a second date.

    Also know that you will preselect an aspect of the personality of the women that you do end up in a relationship with (women who are okay with casual sex). No judgement here, they may be the most interesting and liberated women you will ever meet. But you risk also attracting only the desperate.

    On the other hand, you will completely avoid someone who thinks her virginity is a "special gift", which is a strong positive, cause those people make me barf, and I am sure you wouldn't want me barfing.

    well if women need to get to know you first, then you can't have sex with them before getting to know them. its a double negative. this question contradicts itself.

    Well, maybe the woman would just rather know the man she wants to have sex with. There's nothing wrong with that. If you have nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem anyway. If you do have something to hide, maybe she's right for not trusting you on the spot.

    society is tending to accept everything and this will start to become accepted but at the moment

    sex is still a beautiful, intimate, and a special thing that can not be taken lightly, asking for sex is like asking a person to make one of the biggest (WELL IT SHOULD BE) commitments of there life

    asking someone for sex you don't know is like asking a stranger to marry you.

    Oh, its acceptable for a man to ask for sex before getting to know a woman, but then you get a one night stand and have to do it all again the next day! Whereas is he can actually show interest and respect for a woman, he can have sex with her all the time. Just pays off to play the game nicely if you ask me.

    PS. a relationship will not work if it is based off of sex.
