I too am old school. My wife had virtually no sexual experience prior to our getting together. I had minimal experience. One could say we were both almost virgins. While I had experimented sexually somewhat, there was no romance involved...discounting puppy love.
I so put women on a pedestal, that I expected the woman of my dreams was an absolute virgin. As it turned out, she was. We were exceptionally young when we got together. It seems unrealistic to expect sexual innocence when people are older. Actually, this would be a huge red flag.
That really is a fairy tale of sorts and too bad the norm has distanced itself so much in the present as to how you experienced this. For me, it's a bit too slow, but it holds better values/standards to which have now all gone to shits.
I do need to have sex quickly though after feeling if there's a chance of relationship. (By the time I meet up with a girl, she's comfortable with me dropping sex jokes all the time and knows I'M gonna be a perv, lol..) If I wanna be with her, it's because she turns me on and from there, it's bedroom time to get to know each other and do other stuff when not having sex. That's why you have to sleep over to ensure lots of sex. Sex before bed, in the morning, after she gets out of the shower and maybe some other time.
I mean why get all attached if she ends up being horrible in bed, pussy tastes bad, is not willing to do bj's... Gotta solid sex life going steady for months before being attached.
