In this thought-provoking episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik is joined by storyteller, strategist, and spiritual explorer Padmini Pandya to unpack one of modern dating’s most debated questions: When is the right time to have sex with someone you’ve just started dating? Together, they explore the interplay of emotional readiness, spiritual alignment, societal norms, and energetic exchange. Padmini’s honest insights—rooted in lived experiences across cultures—challenge the often casual lens through which sex is viewed today. This episode offers a grounded, deeply personal lens into intimacy, timing, healing, and self-awareness in the modern age.

Key Takeaways:
-
Timing sex in dating isn’t about arbitrary timelines—it’s about emotional safety and self-trust.
-
Many rushes intimacy without building emotional or psychological connection, leading to mismatched expectations.
-
Sex is not just physical—it’s energetic and often karmic, especially for women.
-
Cultural conditioning, spiritual beliefs, and personal values should guide intimate decisions, not peer pressure or fear.
-
After major life transitions like divorce, discernment and healing are crucial before entering intimate relationships.
