Is it ok for da brotha\'s to post here? Hopefully I\'m not intruding. If I am, Im dealing with sistas so I am certain they will let me know!
ALL
Here\'s a thought.
If you can\'t be honest about the number of people you slept with, performed oral sex on, etc then how about just keeping your pants up. I mean, if you don\'t want to be looked at as a ** (no gender intended - both men & women can be ** s) then don\'t sleep with so many people that you\'ll be either be embarrassed or afraid to tell the truth about it. I\'d say that\'s probably a much better solution than lying. I don\'t expect a woman to be Mother Teresa but I\'m not trying to shack up with Lil Kim either LOL!! I mean, I\'m human just like anyone else so I don\'t want to come across as Rev. Jesse Jackson. (Uhm, oops! - LMAO! - bad example! - HAHA!) Anywayz, It\'s also important to look for growth in people & not hold a 30 year old in contempt for once being a sexually charged, spiritually & mentally immature teenager. Now, if theyre 45? Well, you might be able to break out with some Ludacris references - LOL
Having said that, both sexual history & lying can say a lot about your morals & character (or lack thereof) & that\'s important to know when entering into serious committed relationships. Personally, I wouldnt want a woman whose had more sexual partners than the 2000 LA Lakers playoff point average but I sure could respect her more for being honest & telling me the truth. The betrayal of a lie completely destroys trust & the vast majority of relationships will not survive it.
Once a person has to question what you tell them, because of no other reason that a lie you told, forget it. It\'s all downhill from there.
Ya know, theres something funny about the truth. It can compromise & limit you so much that you have little choice but to do the right (or more progressive) thing. We could all try to use the power of truth (w/ tact) in our own lives and interactions with others a little more.
