Right away, I guess. As Heather mentioned, it *is* better to get the
sexual stuff out of the way immediately. Of course, once that
happens, it takes some of the excitement out of the potential
relationship. 'Course, I have to admit it was more like nervous
tension and acid stomach than excitement. 

Actually, what would appeal to me most is being slammed up against a
wall by a new acquaintance and being told, "Look, bub, I'm taken, so
back off." There is just no chance of mis-understanding or
mis-interpretation by either party in that case...
