I guess so, but I don't believe you should just lie to your partner - if you've been with that many people that it's shameless then there's something up.

lexilou agony auntAll the time!!!!! My friend has told her boyfriend she has slept with less then 10 and I know for a fact she cannot count them using her toes and fingers, she is 21, and that doesnt include guys she gave blow jobs to. Why?? Cos he has only had 3 partners and she is worried he will judge her. I dont think he would as he adores the ground she walks on but its her choice. Me and hubbie have been perfectly honest with each other and its never caused real problems but I admit at first I was jealous of these unknown women, stupid really but thats normal too x

lypiphera agony auntHonestly, yes, all the time. Almost everyone has looked up to their parents their whole lives, and so when they start talking about more personal parts of their lives, they dont want their parents going "WHAT?!" or "you slept with HOW MANY PEOPLE?!"

Its terrible, but i think everyone, at one point or another, has lied to their parents about something in order to get ahead with them.

PeterPan agony auntWell, I can't say it's not unheard of... so yes, it can happen. How often and the "type" of person to over-inflate themselves... well, I guess you know one already...
