Pitchka, I have a question for you. I had posed this question some time ago before you joined us in this forum. The men here had different ideas for me. The question is: "What would a FSU woman think about a U.S. man who traveled to see her for a week and did not want to have sexual intercourse." (I am going to Moldova in July). Would she think that I did not care for her or had no sexual drive? While I want to be intimate and romantic with her, I would prefer to leave sexual intercourse for when we may be married. My preference has to do with both my religious convictions and the example I want to set for my children. Would such abstinance be an unheard of thing in this situation? In your knowledge of FSU women and dating, are there those couples who wait for marriage? I honestly do not know what I will do. If we do make love it will be with out reservation and enjoyable!
The rest of you devils feel free to comment as well if you wish. (I'm ducking already!)
Obviously I am not Ptichka - but I can tell you that sexual intercourse is certainly not mandatory for a visit with a woman from Moldova.
My "other Moldovan" a very beautiful woman of 23 - very much would like to find a great guy - and certainly wouldn't mind if it were American (I'm kind of hoping it will be me). She traveled six hours to Odessa to take part in a Romance Tour and met an American - a freind of mine on the same tour. He made it plain that he was looking for a "real relationshin" which to him meant sex while he was in Odessa - she took his offer to stay in his room (there were two twin beds) but refused to get involved so early with sex. He met a girl the next day who would sleep with him and sent her packing back to Moldova. She regreted not establishing a relationship with an American guy (at the time I was hooked up with someone else) on the trip but did not regret her decesion not to move ahead to sex in the first week.
Just pack a viberator or maybe perform oral sex on one another! (just joking ensata) How in the hell are we suppose to answer that question? Maybe you can explain why you want to hold off on the sex and maybe she'll understand. Personally, If my girl wanted to do it in the stall of the airport bathroom, I'd be more than willing to oblige!
Ensata the question : "What would a FSU woman think about a U.S. man who traveled to see her for a week and did not want to have sexual intercourse." is very difficult to answer, because girls do differ a lot. But if to speak about a hipothetical situation...I would be more willing that this man would come to see me and spend time with me...and not just having sex. It would offend even if the girl is pushed to having sex, just because the man came over such a big distance...
Ensata,
For someone with such strong moral & religious convictions and with such a great track record as a devoted family man raising his kids on his own, you dissapoint me...I think you need a 'confidence pill'...
I try to put myself on Lucy's shoes and I'd be really really really ticked off to know my man doesn't know whether to use his d..k or not...and worse yet, that he shared this intimate insecurity with a bunch of strange sharks in a public forum.
Your woman does not want to see a sliver of hesitation, mate.
We, mere simple men that we are, can only propose for them to follow us...SHE will reserve the right to refuse any and all of your proposals if feels like it.
This goes for everyone....
if you're so hell bent in finding a woman who fits your ideal of the 'traditional female role' in a relationship, you better be well prepared to fit in the counterpart role of 'traditional male role'....
That means NO hesitation, leadership and the ability to take rejection when you propose something to your woman that she is not prepared to follow you to do.
Amen,
toad

GToad good thoughts, and well received by me. This whole venture is virgin territory for me! So I'm still trying to feel my way around. When we are together I will indeed be confident and sure of my self. Thanks for the fatherly lecture.
I agree with ptichka, so long as you let her know that you desire her, and want to make love to her and your reasons for wanting to abstain, I think she will be fine. I think it would be a compliment to her, for you to come all that way, to get to know her....I am in Chisinau next week, and if I get rejected but I know she likes me, I think I will prefer her......that is perverse and men have such double standards, then again, if I do sleep with her, I won't think badly of her, we have been corresponding for 3 months, so not a first night stand. The last two have indicated that they wanted to have sex, I think I prefer them to iniate the first time, then I move into a traditional male role after that, hope this helps:))))
Abstainance of sex before marriage in the FSU is a very unusual thing, Muslims aside of cousre and respect for their convictions.
To FSU women sex is as natural and normal as washing their hair !!! Life isnt life without love, and love between a man and a woman isnt love without sex !!
Ens, play it by ear, and if Lucy wants you to make love to her, then just dont tell the kids and get on with it !!!
Upward and onward! I will respect and fully embrace Lucy's lead. It's interesting that while we talk often of our sleeping together, and waking up together that she seems to give me no real hints as to what we may do in bed together while we are not sleeping or waking, I supposed that it must be implied (even though I lead her on a little to see if she will open up a bit). I suppose that I should chalk it up to her modesty, and also her right to reserve her self untill we have actually met (although she is completely unreserved about her feelings, and desires for me).
I know that I must come across as a real wimp to you all, but this whole sex thing is a serious concern for me. I have had 1 partner in 28 years! So I do appreciate your advise, even the Toadish and Tim advice!
