this issue: sexual acrobatics and nympho virgins
you should also be sure not to show off your sexual acrobatics too soon in a
relationship. i know for me personally, in the beginning of a romance, i always
pretend to be less fabulous in bed than i really am. which is smart pacing, too,
when you consider that it's always a few weeks into the relationship that the
problems start, and thereby just the time for that special lil' boa constrictor
manuever you've mastered.
also, while we're on the subject of experience, don't name names, either -- unless
of course you've slept with andy garcia or matthew modine -- then by all means,
tell everyone.
BUT SERIOUSLY...what i'm saying is: don't lie about how many guys you've been with
-- but don't get out your journals and an abacus either. simply be vague. blush.
stammer. blush again. basically a lot of blushing is called for.
okay, that's the story with the story on how many guys a girl has slept with,
however...
CONTRADICTORILY...guys don't seem to mind hearing about all the other women a
woman has per chance slept with.
go figure.

do you think it's better to be honest with
a new guy as to how many men i've slept with or lie?
i believe a woman should never ever tell a
guy how many other guys she's slept with. basically, what every guy wants is a
nympho virgin -- a gal who knows what she's doing without ever having done it
before.
