Some women swear that prolonging the prenooky time period leads to lasting love.

* According to a British tabloid, Jennifer Aniston made Brad Pitt wait nine months before doing the deed because she was afraid that early sex might spoil their romance. The two tied the knot in July 2000, and the closely watched couple have been basking in married bliss ever since. Whether the tabloid report is true or not, withholding nooky has long been the good girl's strategy for getting the guy and keeping him. So we asked Cosmo readers, is stalling on sex to hook a man for good a masterful move, or is it just an archaic ploy?

YES: stalling is a great strategy

"Delaying the deed not only keeps him guessing, but it also gives you a chance to analyze the relationship without sex clouding the picture."

Fayanne, 22

"Holding off is a good move if you're looking for something meaningful and real. It takes that pre-sex time to become comfortable with one another and develop trust, which I think are musts for let-loose, wild sex!"
