And the answer is...

The inquisitive Alissa asked how many people I've slept with.

And my answer is that I will tell if you tell. Of course, none of us will know if the other is lying, but I'll trust you. Because I'm a trusting sort of gal.


And quite a few people wondered what the big lie is. As I wrote that post I questioned whether I would be able to say what it was and I still don't know but even putting it out there felt somewhat liberating. It's had to keep things to yourself sometimes. As the very smart Catwoman pointed out, it is likely that people are assuming things that may be even worse. Though I don't know what could be worse than that. Although I do tend to justify it by saying it all worked out for the best. I think.

So what do you think that big lie is?

Oh and today I guest blogged over at Terri's, though I forgot to change the time and it actually posted with yesterday's date.

I swear to God tonight I am going to post about my summer swap gift and the upcoming swap that I am hosting. Are you in? It's all about books.

Did someone say swap? Books? I think I am in...I want to know more!

The secret...I don't know. I do know it is liberating to share, but you have to be sure that you want to share. Know what I mean?

Brandy said...

I don't mind telling but my number is really low (could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you talk to). I've only slept with two men. Yep, really low. And the first one was horrible. That's a little sad.

ChrisB said...

Oh my daughters wouldn't want their mother to make such public disclosures!!
I'm in for the swap (but you've got me worried-books!!)

Emma in Canada said...

Beckie I will be posting about the swap tonight and I would love for you to be in it.

Brandy, Mine's definitely higher than 2.

Chris, No I don't imagine they would want you to do so! Why would you worry about books?

Unknown said...

I definitely want to be in on that swap. I've wanted to host a swap but never could figure out what to exchange. I like the book idea. I wanna be included. :)

Boook Swap? Cool - I'd love to be included.

I recently saw an article that said women have, on average 4, partners. Men have, on average, 7 partners -

(they questioned the finding considering that the population is about 50/50 - someone is probably "stretching" the truth - could it be the guys?)

Rachel (Crazy-Is) said...

I was gonna give my number then I saw karmyn's comment and, crap, I'm above average is all I'm saying!

Emma in Canada said...

Lisa and Karmyn- I'll include you in the swap. Thanks!

Rachel- Me too. In fact, I think that both sides probably skewered the numbers lower. I don't even go that low when I lie about it though!

Paige said...

I am curious about the big lie....but surely it can't be that bad. you tell if you want.

my number is higher than 2 but lower than 20....how's that for precision!

betsy said...

ok, my number is a big fat, ONE...
but. BUT! we've been together since we were twelve...so suck on that!

betsy said...

gosh, i feel like such a virgin!

So, if we tell you, you tell us? Is that how it works? OK, so I've slept w/ 2 men. One being my husband (obvious), and one my pothead, loser ex-boyfriend. So, that was pretty painless. I'm guessing yours is a little higher since you obviously have children w/ two men, and I'm guessing those aren't the only two you've been with....maybe 3??

Amy W said...

I am in for the upcoming swap too!!

Anonymous said...

Ok, since no one over 2 has confessed yet, I'll be the brave one. 6 Yep, you heard me, 6. And honestly that number is much lower than a lot of people I know.

Ok....as for your big secret....gosh. I don't know, you make it sound so juicy. You were a call girl?! In the mob?! Ate a goat?! I have no idea!

Beccy said...

I'm in for the book swap, would love to know the secret but only cause I'm a nosey cow. You should only spill the beans if you are totally comfortable as for the other...my mum reads you!!!

Anonymous said...

Count me in for the swap, too.

As for the secret, well, I can still count them on my fingers.

You mentioned the book swap. I'd love to be in it, but I'm not really certain how it works. Just keep me posted.

Are we into brutal honesty today? My hubby & I both walked into the honeymoon suite at the Ritz virgins. I've managed to break the headboards at two separate hotels since then, so I think we must be doing something right!I hope I'm not too boring now for you to come & visit!

Oh, and I know. How can I ever get back to Europe? It's a tough call.

That Chick Over There said...

Oh, I won't be saying the number. As I like to say, I've been around the block a few times but I'll spare you the exact addresses.

It's more than 2 though. :)

Anonymous said...

Yeah, I've blogged about the fact that I don't know my number, because I refused to keep track of it. But I know it's more than the average though. In fact, if I'd kept track, I'm sure I'm the reason the men's number is higher... ;)

Betsy Mae said...

Eeek. My number is higher than the average too. I'm not really ashamed or anything but ya know...I'm not exactly proud either!

M said...

I've sucked at leaving comments and have been lurking far too much.

That said...I have my own ideas on you big lie but I doubt they're right.

And my number? A stunning trio. Actually the first 2 were a bust and the third I married. ;) Joshua WAS a one night stand you know. I was a VERY GOOD GIRL for a long time and met my husband only 3 years after losing my virginity you know. But sex isn't everything and if you wanted me to count how many people I've been naked with? I can't even imagine. And I was a good girl too. lmao. :)
