A friend of mine told me recently that she had made a list of every guy that she had ever hooked up with. But she hadn't just made a list... she had keyed it, color-coding it by the amount that she had done with each guy (i.e. the base that each had gotten to). This sounded like a pretty interesting idea, so I tried it myself, and asked a few of my friends to do the same.
However, after looking at everyone's list, I noticed a sort of disturbing trend:
Not one of us had managed to remember everyone's name. I'm serious. I asked about six or seven people about this, and did one myself. Everyone that I asked was either 19 or 20 years old, and the total numbers ranged from as low as 10 names on the list to as high as 38. However,
every single one of the lists had names like "that guy from the club," "some girl at a mixer," "Rando #2," or something like that.
I'm kind of curious to see if it's just us, but I don't think that it is. I mean, every person that I asked was entering junior year in college, but in general, the people that I asked were
far from "slutty," so to speak. To prove or disprove my theory, I'm asking you guys and girls to try and make your own list. To qualify for a spot on your list, you have to at least made out with the person, the conventional "first base." This does include tongue (pecks don't count). In addition, same-sex kisses do indeed count. I'm encouraging you guys to actually write or type it out, because at least in all of our cases, it helped us to remember everyone.
Are you having trouble remembering everybody's name too, or are my group of friends and I just ridiculous?

I remembered every name...but that might be because I don't do stuff with people unless I'm in a relationship, or at the very least somewhat serious with the person. I'd never hook up with anyone I didn't know well, and I haven't done stuff with a crazy amount of people... I'm going to say that's why. I don't hook up with people I don't know, so I know all the names.
Wow. That's really sad, in my opinion.
hooking up is just plain gross. geez i'm so glad i'm not like that.
Just think, one case of the herpes virus in one of those mouths and suddenly the world shares it.
Uhhh seriously people?
How can you even find someone you don't know that attractive?
Perhaps I should add this to the list of reasons I don't drink!
Haha I can name them all but probably because I'm only 16 still. =P
<3
Wow! This puts things in perspective for folks.
I find it funny that compared to my friends im a saint, But compared to some people on here, Im a slut! AHAH I have had sex with 2 people and kissed ... like 6 i suppose
@benjaminlin@xanga - hahaha we're all guilty
I can't remember some names. (and I'm not afraid to admit it)
have only made out and got to all the bases with one guy and he was my boyfriend at the time.
I don't have a list. *Sobs*
I think that is completely normal! I made a list of the guys i hooked up with a few weeks ago. I've hooked up with 28 guys and 4 of them are nameless haha :]
this is actually a good idea. =D
i'm gonna make one later.this right here is why you ask where they've been
before you decide how many layers of condoms
