_thinks_ Canada, US, UK, Uzbekistan, France, Venezuela, El Salvador, China, India, Germany, Trinidad, Mexico, Spain (almost)… I can’t think of any others at present. I’m 25.

I’ve only had sex _in_ two countries (Canada and the UK), but I came close in Spain.

I’d truely never considered this before. Since we’re not identifying anyone, I don’t see this as kiss and tell, but it is kind of silly. When did that become an issue in the Dope?  
U.S.  
Morroco  
Spain  
Bermuda  
G.B.  
Australia  
Ireland  
Vietnam  
Mexico  
Puerto Rico (U.S. territory)  
That’s all I’m sure of.

Does anyone else snicker when a poster says “but I came close in…” maybe it’s just me.

But Yay! I can play since it’s not strictly actual countries.

Germany!

Yeah, well it’s just one but well, ya’ know it counts. I by far prefer the German language in my ear.

Zimbabwe

Definitely USA is on the list; I just got caught up in remembering the differences I had encountered.

Let’s just say I’m a _true_ patriot who’s _also_ done a lot of cultural outreach. 😉

I think this is one of the least tasteless of the various tacky threads we’ve had. Also, I can participate without feeling slutty, as well.
