Hasn't been my experience. Last boyfriend before STBXH -- got physical quickly, together for 2 years and lived together for last year. Then met STBXH...

I think a huge factor is WHY things get physical quickly.

Is it because you feel a huge click with the man as a human being and feel so attracted to him that wild horses couldn't keep you from meeting him halfway in a kiss? That's how it was for me with Guitarist. We didn't kiss on the first date but the possibility was hanging in the air as we sat on a secluded beach and I would have totally welcomed a kiss (he was trying to be a gentleman).

OTOH, if you are a person who needs more comfort and trust before becoming physical and go along with a man's moving things ahead physically before you're ready, I could see how that could be a problem in developing a relationship. You have to be true to yourself and respect your own boundaries.
