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?

Interesting Q @Zoflorabore - but the answer is none for me! Despite having had a history of roughly 40. It’s probably due to my lifelong preference for older boys/men.

No, I too have memories to smile about when I'm in the old folks home

How many of you have taken someone’s virginity?

Once, my first boyfriend. He was 18, I was 16. We were together 8 years.

Elbeagle · 06/01/2020 21:18

We were both virgins, I should add.

LochJessMonster · 06/01/2020 21:19

@Zoflorabore haven’t taken any virginities that I know of, the one guy that I can’t remember the name of might possibly have been, as he was younger and not very good bless him

No. I can't even remember the name of the man I lost my virginity to but I remember enjoying it Wink

Insaneinthemembury · 06/01/2020 21:20

I've taken 2 virginities, one was a Christian who vowed never to have sex before marriage. Whoops.

LochJessMonster · 06/01/2020 21:20

@FagAsh and @leonaa Love your lists!

No idea.

EntirelyAnonymised · 06/01/2020 21:21

Totally ballsed up the bolding there

Mumsnet is a funny place - I like this thread but where are all the judgy posters?

LoonyLunaLoo · 06/01/2020 21:30

No I don’t think so. There’s not a huge amount but I’ve been married for 10 years and we’ve been together for nearly 14, so anyone else was well over 1/3 of my lifetime ago!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 06/01/2020 21:31

99% of more than 1 less that 35

Jellykat · 06/01/2020 21:31

Yes, even the one night stands.. have to remember in order though, according to where i was living/ what i was doing at the time, but i am 56 Grin
Only had one virgin tho..

Bloodybridget · 06/01/2020 21:33

No - it's only been DP for the last 20 years. I think up until then I could remember most of their names.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 06/01/2020 21:37

Yes taken someone’s virginity

We had sex a few times it wasn’t good (my previous boyfriend was a little older and more experienced)

Had sex again about 10 years later and it was lovely

DurannieDeckingTheHalls · 06/01/2020 21:44

Yes... but not necessarily surnames for the more short lived connections.... there are only seven though and as I'm getting on a bit now, all except xh were at least 26 years ago...yikes....

Crunchymum · 06/01/2020 21:45

@leonaa

Was wondering if that is your list or you've lost your way to the baby name forum Grin

I've been with DP for 13 years so I've just done a quick list. I'm sure I'm missing a few but if those I can remember, I cant recall 2 of their names.

This is like counting sheep for me Wink

Wincarnis · 06/01/2020 21:54

Tom, Dick and Harry.
Mostly Dick

Gogolego · 06/01/2020 22:32

Interestingly I was talking to a friend my ex just last night how many people I had copped of with at uni. And he was amazed I couldn't remember every name the of people I had snogged at uni in various clubs between 20-30. Several years after the event . I could name a few and most of the a distinct characteristic about them but that's it

CornishPorsche · 06/01/2020 23:28

Just the one virgin that I know of. My boyfriend when I was 17. He was my RAF chap. (ticks box).

I used to have a list. I threw it away when I got married but I know it was heavily out of date 😂

StarlightLady · 07/01/2020 04:03

I can remember the names from this year.

sofato5miles · 07/01/2020 04:18

God, no idea.

In my 20s, I once famously tried to chat up a guy who I had forgotten I had shagged the year before. He was not that flattered.

However, the men that I connected with emotionally, I will never forget, and some of those I never shagged and some I dated. There are 9 of them. I am now nearing 50..

FenellaMaxwell · 07/01/2020 04:41

Nope. Don’t think I knew them all at the times either. No regrets, I had some great sex and thoroughly enjoyed my 20s!

DidItWorkForYou · 07/01/2020 04:43

Yes but it's a very small number so not hard to!
