Depends on the person really. I'd suggest 6 months-1yr.
Sex has all the risks you just mentioned, but it also adds an emotional attachment, which might make things harder later when things don't work out.
 
In the past, I've had sex fairly early on in the relationship and it's always been regrettable when it ends. As well, there are the usual risks we all face: STD's & pregnancy (even with b/ control). The other worry, and the more realistic one is thinking it's not worth the risk until I get to know someone more as friends, see if they're trustworthy on many levels, whether we're compatible and it's not just lust, etc.--all reasonable reasons to wait. The questions is, how long is too long to wait and is the apprehensiveness more of hurt from past times "being used" or is it just a healthy cautionness? I am 35 and divorced.
Also, like many people, I'm tired of being tossed aside like a used kleenex!
