A tough question with no easy answer(s).
A potential issue with waiting a year is what if you're not sexually compatible? Would you be willing to invest a year in a relationship only to find out that your partner isn't on the same page as you?
As for how long to wait, that would depend on you and you boyfriend. In some cases it might take lengthy courtship to determine if you're ready to sleep with them, or it might only take a few dates. There's always the possiblity of instant sexual chemistry, but it sounds as though you're wanting to make sure that you get to know the person first.
Some male friends would move on almost immediately if they didn't get sex, while others would wait, but would move on soon after having sex. What I'm trying to say is it's hard to say what a guy is going to do once you've had sex with him.
Some guys don't take adding sex to a relationship lightly, I know that I never did.
