Should I Have Sex With Him Or Wait??

I met this guy at basic training and i really want to take him seriously! I haven’t had sex in 5 months when i usually have sex at least once a week! We haven’t seen each other since training (he’s still there), i was wondering if i should have sex with him or wait until our first couple of dates because i want to take him seriously? Mind you... i am dick deprived... what should i do
