    Why not the option of 100%? And to predict smart replies, it is more than one so its not a case of remembering one name!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭Barry Aldwell


    I think he means greater than 20% etc. So if you can remember 100% of your sexual partner's names then select the 80% option. Could have been a lot clearer, though.

    'full' sex? ah as apposed to partial sex?

    Also you might want to get the mods to add the 100% option....

    When I tried counting how many people I have had sex with (fully...) I'm sure I'm missing one or two (ie not good). But of the ones I remember I only have forgotton one name thankfully.

    something like:

    who needs names when they are all called 'me amore' (sp)

    :D

    Whats in a name?

    as in remembering the thier real name,
    the name they gave you,
    the name you gave them for what ever reason ( the didnt look like a, the reminded you of, the name that you knew would aonoy them and hence get thier notice ect, ect, )

    Yes it is important from a health point of view that you can remember,
    but sometimes people fail to make a huge impression
    and then there are others you are happy to forget and never remember,
    unless it was bad enough to give you the giggles.

    But I'd asume as the list gets longer the harder it gets ,
    once your past ten I reckon it would be a good thing to start taking notes of a sort or start a score sheet :D

    Well, I've only ever had (full!) sex with my fiance, and damned if I can remember his name...
    Seriously, on grope and kissing ex's? I could remember about 70% of them. Teenage experimentation and all that..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    yea 100% for me too on the first names, not the best at second names!! 25% of the time i suppose depends on how good she was :P

    i'm very good putting names to faces and remembering them but thats about all im good at remembering my nickname was goldfish in school cos no doubt you've guessed i have the memory of a goldfish

    remembering birthdays/events/meetings/my address/ im hopeless at


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20


    Interesting!, as one of those who survived the sixties love revolution. I honestly can not even remember 10% of the names, but I do remember many wonderfully exhausting nights of pure lust, with some *Great Bodies!.

    As for all those who are stating that they remember most of the names!. Personally, I think they are a bunch of liars, or maybe they just; - have not really lived?..

    P.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭Eden


    Yeah, Paddy... unless you're a complete slapper with no standards whatsoever, you haven't lived. Spare me:rolleyes:
    I see nothing wrong with the fact that I've only slept with one person. I'm 22... Should I perhaps cheat on him with the next passing bloke so's I can say I've lived????

    Since when is having SEX with ALOT of different people "living" ..... actually in todays enviroment it could very well get you DEAD . Sexually transmitted diseases can kill , it doesn't matter if you are cautious , it only takes one time. Also not everyone is looking to have one night stands or just f*ck whoever happens to be handy . Personally I prefer to know a little about someone before I have sex with them .

    The dragging them home , screwing them senseless , slapping them on the ass and sending them out the door ( while reminding them to sign the guest book on the way out so I'd know their name ) is just not my style . :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    paddy you not remembering names might have something to do with all that pot you smoked back in the 60's aswell as all the sex. (kids today tsk no respect)

    what skittishkitten and eden say are 100% correct you dont have to nail everything with a heartbeat these days im sure the 60's you got laid every night of the week but now things are a tad different, and as a matter of fact i can name (most of em anyway) all the women ive had sex with cos as skittish says nowadays you get to know them first, i dont go looking for shags in the local nite club and i usually dont do one night stands therefore i get to know all the women i go out with / have sex it works out better from an emotional point of view and from a health and safty point of view aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    100%. Cos only one girl and I still havin amazin sex wit her, AND she is three years older than moi.:D

    Older girls rock the Kasbah.

    Sex is made out 2 b most important thing in the world and couldn't BE hyped up any more.
    Music videos are raunchy, tabloids ALWAYS have some little sex kitten on cover and general 'word on the street' is get some as young as you can, i.e ".. . . and I lost my virginity when I was 13. . . blah blah. . ."

    I know girl who lost hers at 13, thats just plain wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    trying to remember names is one thing but saying someone elses name while having sex.........OOPS


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20


    AL][EN,

    Oh yeah, I forgot "The Pot" Mmmm should be legalised here!. Anyway they say that those who "really lived" through the sixties revolution in London can not remember much about it.

    Yeah, I remember the Great bodies, and the new freedom too enjoy living. All the nookie ! was a two way thing as well, you know. It was great after being brought up in the dear old Catholic Ireland of the fifties.

    Everything, was a damned sin. When I think of the psychological damage the old regime caused to friends of mine. I still shudder with annoyance, but I have forgiven all those poor sick, kinky and misguided Priests. Also glad that a lot of the abuse that went on here then is finally being exposed.

    Yeah. In life there are some things you never foget! .

    P.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,913 ✭✭✭Absolam


    Met a girl recently I'd slept with, neither of us could remember each others names, or how we we knew each other since we just seemed familiar to each other..rather embarrasing at first when I realised, then afterwards such an ego killer...how could she possible have forgotten sleeping with ME! There's a lot to be said for keeping a diary....

    This all comes down to how many....

    If you have slept with 2-3 people it's easy...

    However as you go up it becomes harder to remember...In fact it reaches a stage where you can't remember you had sex with some people.(After about 80 or so...)

    Although, seeing as I am a virgin(hrmphh.....:o )

    I wouldn't be able to comment...

    I agree with you on how it was a disgrace that everything was apparently a sin in good ould Catholic Ireland. It's so much healthier to be able to talk about sex and enjoy a happy sex life, without thinking of it in terms of sin (and there's still a lot of that type of thinking around).
    But that still doesn't mean that if you ain't fee and easy, you're not living! I choose to have a good, healthy horny sex life with my one man!

    Isn't there an episode of "Friends" like that where Joey can remember the apartment, the furniture, the cactus, but not the woman.

    Hmmmmmmmm......... since "Make Love" = "Sex" might as well use the "sex" as a weapon of war . I heard the more sex men get the more addled they become ........ works for me :p

    But I still perfer to know a bit about the person I have sex with , instead of a "wham bam thank you mam , Oh and by the by here's a killer social disease for you" . Sorry just a personal "quirk" of mine . :p
