They’re afraid someone will think they’ve been slutty?
I’m more interested in the 10 percent who gave an answer they knew wasn’t accurate, but didn’t think that was lying…
That’s not at all surprising. I always ask guys I have sex with their sexual history, and I would estimate that well over 800 of them lied about their number of partners. And that was just in the last two years- who knows how many have lied in all.
The study says that men claim to have more partners than they really had. But don’t some men claim fewer partners than they really have had?
What is that movie where the couple talk about their sexual history–oh, I remember! (this post comes to you in real time)–“4 Weddings and a Funeral”–and Andie MacDowell goes on and on about her partners and Hugh Grant just sits there, flabbergasted.
I like that scene. (sadly, I would have been Hugh).
<composes face> What? Men lie about sex? Really? <wide eyes>
:eek:
That’s unbelievable!
Sluts are horrible, dirty, disgusting liars in general. Unfortunately, you have to know many of them deeply before you start to see the pattern.
Really?
I believe that study deserves an “O RLY?”
In other news my penis is 6 inches… around. Think about it.
No, I will not think about your penis. I’m far too busy thinking about mine.
You know, I don’t think I’ll ever have enough sexual partners to allow me to exaggerate their numbers. Hypothetical situation: I’ve slept with three girls (okay, so now I am exaggerating–I’m a virgin). I can’t exactly say that I’ve slept with four or five because the number’s still small enough that someone could ask me for details about each, details that I couldn’t provide. I’d have to inflate the numbers absurdly and say “eight” or “nine” if I wanted to avoid that, but then it gets into the realm of incredibility.
In (sort of) defense of the 10% that know the answer isn’t accurate…I would be one of those. Not because I would lie about the number of guys I’ve been with but simply because I honestly don’t know the exact number.

Right, and if I’d only had eight or nine partners in my whole life (instead of eight or nine a week whenever I’ve been single) I’d probably fib and say “twelve.”
Deserves a what???
An “O RLY?”, obviously. It’s best if delivered by an owl. The natural confirmation is “YA RLY,” occasionally followed by a shocked “NO WAI!!!”
What Speaker said. Its’ sacrasm. Think: I’m *shocked * that there’s drinking going on in this establishment!
I was spent some time taking about this story with the 47 super-models I slept with last weekend.
I have no idea why guys inflate the number of sex partners they have had. 
You don’t think a guy who’s had zero or 1 partner would inflate the number and say 2 or 3?
They might. I know I never have. Having more or less partners is not important. How you treat the one you are with at that moment is important.
Or that a guy who’s had zero would inflate his partner?
