Do you remember the names of everyone you have slept with?

.Randomly thinking about this last night and it occurred to me that I can’t remember the name of one of the men that I have had sex with.

I can picture him clearly but for the life of me can’t remember his name. It was a brief drunken holiday fling so no way of finding it out either.

It doesn’t really bother me, just surprised that I can’t recall his name.

Just wondered if it was normal?

Yes - one - my late dh.

Whynosnowyet · 06/01/2020 12:43

Say the letters of the alphabet quite slowly in your head op. Your brain will pause at the letter it starts with them the name will come to you.
Guaranteed.

No.. Nearly 50, have no regrets😁

BloodyCats · 06/01/2020 12:46

Yes. Only slept with 2, including DH.
It’s been fun too..

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 06/01/2020 12:48

I can't remember all the names, or even all the faces.

In fact I don't even accurately know how many in total - I could take a rough guess at it. I had a busy year or two at uni. Was a lot of fun though!

TriangleBingoBongo · 06/01/2020 12:49

No.

BercowsFlamingoFlownSouth · 06/01/2020 12:51

Yes. I remember, names, faces, where we met, and when I was with them. More than 10 less than 20.

kittykatkitty · 06/01/2020 12:51

All but one.
The nameless man was the best sex ever 😳

PeachesandPie · 06/01/2020 12:52

Yes, but there's only been a few!

Honeybee85 · 06/01/2020 12:52

Yes I do though I don’t like thinking about some of them.

LuluJakey1 · 06/01/2020 12:53

Yes. I can count them very quickly.

Zoflorabore · 06/01/2020 12:57

I actually did this very recently as me and new boyfriend were having a conversation about how many people we’ve slept with. I didn’t do it in front of him of course but the next day.

I can remember them in date order as in “ I was with X from August 96 to August 97 “ etc but admittedly there are 2 or 3 blanks which piss me off no end as i have a bloody fantastic memory and it was at university when I was pissed and don’t remember much.

I have them written down in my knicker drawer, hidden away with some special toys Grin

FreckledLeopard · 06/01/2020 12:57

No. And then there's the guys that you recall, but can't remember if you've slept with them or not.

Not losing any sleep over it.

AgeLikeWine · 06/01/2020 12:57

No Blush

When I was young free and single, I was free and single. There is no way I could possibly remember everyone I drunkenly shagged between 18 & 25.

MindYours · 06/01/2020 12:59

When I had a one nighter in Ibiza just before we went at it I said "oh by the way what's your surname?" (way before social media so he wouldn't have thought I wanted to hunt him down etc) just so I know the full names of everyone I've slept with lol

FrenchFancie · 06/01/2020 13:13

Nope....
One is fondly remembered as ‘rob the guy that sells tractors’ though....

ThunderboltandLightning · 06/01/2020 13:13

Probably if I really put my mind to it, but as none of them mean anything to me any more, I won't waste the time.

Crinkle77 · 06/01/2020 13:13

God no there's too many.

speakout · 06/01/2020 13:15

No.
I knew at the time though!

Paddington68 · 06/01/2020 13:15

what, ever?

Ohyesiam · 06/01/2020 13:17

You’re doing well to be able to picture them Wink

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 06/01/2020 13:18

Yes, but there's a very short list of two people Grin

I can't remember the names of everyone I snogged though.

Ridingthegravytrain · 06/01/2020 13:18

Same as @TheQueef I only remember the good ones.

CluelessNewMama · 06/01/2020 13:19

No.

I was very free spirited in my 20s, I couldn’t tell you how many men exactly I’ve slept with and have forgotten (or never bothered to ask) the names of quite a few.

I have absolutely no shame about any of this; although I wouldn’t find it at all fulfilling now, I enjoyed myself at the time. I wish more women felt as sexually liberated as most men do.

Drabarni · 06/01/2020 13:19

Ha Ha, don't even remember how many, let alone their names, or combinations.
The 80's were great, then AIDS came.
I still say meeting my dh saved me.
