The Little Black Book
This post was submitted anonymously.
Today I was having a conversation with a friend and asked him if he could remember everyone's name he's ever been with. He forgot two of them. He hasn't hooked up with many people either and still can't remember two of them while I can remember all of mine and even what type of circumstances they all were under.... including the horrific ones which I wish to forget.There are some girls and guys in movies who keep a little book of everyone they've ever hooked up with, in case something ever happened. Now, I wouldn't go to that extreme and don't know if people actually do that in real life.
It's pretty easy to remember for me since I haven't been with a ton of people.Do you remember everyone's name you've ever been with and do you keep track?
My one friend Anna says she's lost count and can't remember all of the people's she's been with.

I think the idea of writing them all down is a good one if you're promiscuous or otherwise likely to forget someone... if for no other reason than safety/STI notifications if need be/etc.
I've only ever been with two people and I'm dating both of them, so I've certainly not forgotten their names.
I remember them all. I've only been intimate with those whom I've been in relationships with, so it's not hard to remember (though one I wish I can forget because she dragged my life down).
I made a list once, jsut to see because so much has happened over the last few years. I forget one or two but I mostly know. I think you'd have to be with heaps to 'lose count' or whatever.
lol.
Eh I thought the little black book was just a place where you put in girls/guys numbers who you can call to go on dates with. Not a list of who you've slept with. If you need a whole book for the amount of people you've slept with...damn. I remember everyone, but I sometimes forget 1 or 2 people because I guess the sex wasn't very good or they didn't mean much and it's more of an "ohh yeah them too" kinda thing when I do remember.
I don't have enough people to need a book to remember. however, I actually write down how much money I've made each month in a little notebook. then I'll calcuate the quarterly average. I have a bit of ocd with numbers, but not numbers regarding hookups, but numbers regarding moneyz
Yep. I don't "keep track" for the sake of remembering 1 person though. My long-term memory is ridiculous. My short-term memory often exceeds that of whoever I happen to be hanging out with at the time, occasionally creating an illusion of precognition (e.g. a friend tells me he just started dating someone, his cell phone rings, he answers it mid-conversation, hangs up, resumes talking to me about something else entirely, 5 hours later I remember and ask him how things are going with his new girlfriend and he's like "WTF! How did you know about that?"). It doesn't fully hit you just how useless having near-perfect memory can be until you're the only one who remembers something that used to be important to someone else. Combined with time, it's a gift and a curse.
I remember all 4 people I had sex with, or anyone I really liked, but I don't remember everyone I've ever went on a date with.
"Oh I’m sorry, I should have given you guys my little black book when I got married. Though it wasn’t really a book, just a napkin…. with Janice’s name on it."
I used to have a list of everyone I kissed or did more with, but I lost it. I started a new one, but not because I'm worried about forgetting names, just for the sake of having them. I do remember all the names of people I had gone all the way with, but some of the guys I just kissed I don't remember. My friend and I used to joke that as long as you knew their name you weren't a slut.
@Shadowrunner81@xanga - Lol, god I love Friends. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies like that though.
But yeah, I don't think it's any show of character if they forget some people they messed around with - some people just aren't impressionable. Personally, I've only kissed four girls in my life and I'm 23, slept with two of them. Really hard to forget four lonely names.
a benefit of waiting for marriage is not having to keep a score card of everyone you've slept with.
Ive only ever been with my husband, and he with me.
My list is very VERY small. 0
It's going to change to 1 next spring.@LadyGwenivere@xanga - HUGE Benefit. I totally agree. :)
