i.e., how many countries you’ve slept with. List them, and state your age for relativity’s sake. I’ll start. U.K. Germany France Italy Spain Ukraine Taiwan Jamaica St. Lucia India Puerto Rico and of course - U.S.A. 12 total I’m 24. Yeah, this is prurient and tasteless, but it’ll be fun. ---

I have only one country but I have almost every Province in that country (I am missing Newfoundland). My fiancé and I were so determined to have every province that on a cross-country trip we stopped and parked right behind the welcome to Manitoba sign for a quickie so we could cross another off the list. 😃 ---

I’m not sure that I want to answer the question, but there seem to be at least two interpretations of it: (1) the physical location of the sexual act; and (2) the nationality of the sexual partner. So, before I answer, which is it? (And in at least two cases in my personal experience, country of birth and nationality were not necessarily the same, but that may be overcomplicating things). ---

Oops, I answered it as physical location of the sexual act. I have only slept with Canadians. ---

Yeah, I answered it by nationality of the person (passport held), rather than site of encounter (all U.S.). ---

Whoops, I thought you meant countries you’ve had sex -in-. I don’t think that changes my answer, though. ---

Okay, upon reconsideration we have decided to reopen this thread. I agree with Cajun Man that it’s not nice to kiss and tell, but if you really want to do this, what the hell, go to. ---

Well, thanks. Though I think the confusion about the point of the thread may have killed it. I couldn’t find a concise and clear way to say what I wanted - a tally of how many nationalities are represented in your notch count. I asked it the same way it was stated [here](http://www.rooshv.com/2007/the-flag-metric), where I got the inspiration for this. ---

Lets see, Russian Ukrainian Azerbaijan US I did have someone offer to give me a BJ in Romania as well, but I passed. Hey you would have too if you had as much cash on me as I did and no way to lock it up! ---

I came really close to Argentina once, but alas, we got stopped. I’m still disappointed. And that was a looong time ago. I refuse to ask my hubby this one because back in his wild and single days, he went all over the Pacific and had some, er, interesting escapades. As an example, he’s told me that he got offered the chief’s daughter once on Yap. I wouldn’t let him tell me if he accepted the offer. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-play-flag-count-as-in-sexual/417504.md?page=2)
