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?

No, there have been quite a few though.

amusedbush · 07/01/2020 08:43

Nope, I really enjoyed my 20s Grin

Yeah. I had fun but I also have a bizarre memory for names.

I can still remember the names of everyone in my first school classes (although I clearly didn’t sleep with all of them. Grin)

I actually made a list one day so I wouldn’t forget Grin, it included their middle names if I knew them and also how old they were when we slept together. No idea where the list is now, I could probably try to remember if I tried hard enough. I’ve slept with less than 20.

It’s only taken 5months but I suddenly remembered his name last night! Grin

All it well again

Nah! I had a fun aged 18 until i met my husband at 24

LockdownLoppy · 13/05/2020 17:44

I am 52, ex dh and dh so I definitely know their names!

BingPot720 · 13/05/2020 18:03

Yes but there have only been 13!

BobbinThreadbare123 · 13/05/2020 18:16

I can but it's fewer than 5 and two of them were virgins! Part of me wishes I had been a bit more adventurous when I was younger. Or now.

lachy · 13/05/2020 18:39

Nope, I couldn't even tell you how many!

Crinkle77 · 13/05/2020 18:45

God no. I can't even remember how many people I've slept with.

Northernsoullover · 13/05/2020 18:46

Hell no Grin. I am also at the age where if I meet someone who looks familiar I wonder if we met at work, through friends or whether I shagged them Hmm

AnneOfCloves · 13/05/2020 18:48

Well done, OP!

Mine’s a list of 2, so I’d have to be fairly deep in Alzheimer’s to not keep track of that.

MashedPotatoBrainz · 13/05/2020 18:50

This thread has really worried me as it's made me realise that I can't and I've only ever had 5 sexual partners, all of whom I was in a relationship with at the time. But my mind is completely blank on 2 of them. I can see them in my head, but can't remember their names. I'm clearly older than I thought I was.

StuckInnTheMiddle · 13/05/2020 19:03

I’ve just turned 40 and I can remember most of them. There’s a couple in there I can’t for the life of me remember! They weren’t ons either. One of them I dated for a few months. Just can’t remember his name! I was 21 years ago though.

DrDreReturns · 13/05/2020 19:11

No. One night stand at uni.

Sleepyquest · 13/05/2020 19:16

Nope, I don't even know the number of people I've slept with. Wooooops

Bargainhuntbore · 13/05/2020 19:21

Yes, 3 names so not gonna forget.

Quarantimespringclean · 13/05/2020 19:22

I’m 60, slept with 7 men. Only remember the 4 ‘proper’ boyfriends. I can’t remember the ONSs.

RaingodsWithZippos · 13/05/2020 19:26

Trevor
Mick
Simon
Richard

All within the space of 2 years (three of them within 3 months Blush), then one of them for the subsequent 20.

lifestooshort123 · 13/05/2020 19:26

My 40s were fairly wild between marriage and present long-term relationship. Knew the names at the time but as none of them particularly memorable... at least half a dozen I can't remember. If I can't get back to sleep at night I list them all to try and fill the gaps.

SauvignonBlanche · 13/05/2020 19:27

No

Sarahlou63 · 13/05/2020 19:28

Fuck no, being early 20's in the halcyon days of the early 80's (pre HIV and on the pill) = lots and lots and lots of fun! Grin

IcyWind · 13/05/2020 19:30

Yes but there’s only 2 of them

user1471453601 · 13/05/2020 19:32

I didn't know the names of some of the people I had sex with. But I'm 70, and have some v good memories
