Only Jimmy Kimmel would ask something like this. Well, except for me. The question, suitably modified for all sexes is have you slept with more or less than six people in your life?
When I lived in Europe my romemate & I had pushpins and would mark all the countries/cunties (typo it stays) of the people we slept with. 6 was a good weekend.
I'm not normally a grammarian, but this one made me laugh. The way Enty lists it in his intro, I could just say "Yes."
"Have you slept with with more or less than six people in your life?"
Yes is correct. I think the technical way to ask this is "Which of these statements is true: I have slept with more than six people in my life. I have slept with less than six people in my life?
Those who have slept with exactly six people just say neither, I guess. ;)
And interestingly, a mini-sociological experiment. It was interesting that when the black man came up he got the biggest response from the audience insofar as them deducing he WAS over the 6 people. Oversexualizing black men is nothing new. Neither is assuming that overweight and/or nerds and/or frat boys all have assumed sexual histories that coincide with their stereotypical identities. Obviously my fav part was the audience's assumptions of the pedestrians before they annoucned their numbers.
More than 20 for sure - I stopped keeping track after 23. Stopped keeping track of all the blow jobs I've given years ago. Whatever, I like sex. No biggie.
@Big Mama I'm sorry to hear that. I got laid off in July of 2011 and have yet to get rehired anywhere. Going back to school now. I hope you're successful in your job search!
I will be honest - I was going to write brave, but that implies there is something wrong with whatever number you put out there. 15, and my husband knows my number & I know his.
@ Jasmine, the black guy is attractive, fit and 51 years old. Plus he obviously has an outgoing personality. Attractive, fit and outgoing guys get laid. Regardless of colour.
Duh, Ento. Duh.
ReplyDeleteHahaha
ReplyDeleteHhahahahaaa
That is all.
I'll be really surprised if there's a lot of less! Heehee
ReplyDeleteIs he qualifying the question by asking if they slept with six people per college semester?
ReplyDeleteI love JK.
ReplyDelete6 to what power?
ReplyDelete6 total or at one time?
ReplyDeleteYeah, give or take 70 or 80. Didn't always sleep, though.
ReplyDelete*crickets*
ReplyDelete@Sunny. ;)

ReplyDeleteDid you leave off the zero and meant 60?
ReplyDeleteI feel like a tramp now

For me personally, I'll stick with 'yes.' :)
I feel like a prude now....
ReplyDelete@rareavis - I call those Freudian typos, and they make me chuckle because at heart I am still 14.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.

Since 2005, no...before that, well I'll just say no comment
ReplyDeletemy. god. i've led a sheltered life. maybe i need to sew my oats? oh, wait...mr. eggs would not approve.
ReplyDeleteLet's put it this way, when a man has asked me "how many?" My response was always, you don't want to really know
ReplyDeleteI love how strangely quiet this thread is!
ReplyDeleteI second the *crickets*
I've been married four times, you figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI've slept with less than six lesbians...
ReplyDeleteActually, no, I probably have.
Um, guess I'm a prude. Fewer than six.
ReplyDelete7 here, 4 girls 3 guys.
ReplyDeleteButterKwup- We can be prudes together, lol!
ReplyDeleteYeah totally no more than 6 (fingers crossed behind my back).
ReplyDeleteMore than 20 for sure - I stopped keeping track after 23. Stopped keeping track of all the blow jobs I've given years ago. Whatever, I like sex. No biggie.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a lot more interesting if they asked the guys if they'd slept with more or less than six guys.
ReplyDeleteLess...don't feel like a prude though.
ReplyDeleteOver, both sexes.
ReplyDeleteOver. And yeah I like sex too. As long as your being safe, what's the big deal. Having a friend w benefits is a lifesaver sometimes
ReplyDeleteit's 2 for me..
ReplyDeleteI can still count them on both hands if that means anything lol
ReplyDeletetold my nephew - what men say, divide by 3...what women say, multiply by 3
ReplyDeleteOn a personal note, I am now unemployed....anyone looking to hire someone?
Fewer than 6, way fewer. Not on purpose just sort of worked out that way :)....Time to have that Cougar Crisis I guess
ReplyDelete"told my nephew - what men say, divide by 3...what women say, multiply by 3"
ReplyDeleteI would say that rule applies if:
For guys, the actual number is less than 10.
For gals, the actual number is more than 20.
No guy is going to claim to have bonked ten dozen women unless they're a professional musician or athlete.
Good lord...6 a few times over!! I actually enjoyed my single years.
ReplyDelete@Big Mama I'm sorry to hear that. I got laid off in July of 2011 and have yet to get rehired anywhere. Going back to school now. I hope you're successful in your job search!
ReplyDeleteDoes shagging a father and son at the same time count as one, or two?
ReplyDeleteMy twenties were legendary. ;)
Woah!! I would love to know more about this!!
Delete1, my husband....but I'm not a prude! Lol, just started dating young
ReplyDeleteLess. (Fewer?) As my beloved Cher Horowitz said: "Look how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet!"
ReplyDeleteBut no judgment from me for whatever or whoever consenting adults choose to do. Get your freak on!
ReplyDeleteI will be honest - I was going to write brave, but that implies there is something wrong with whatever number you put out there. 15, and my husband knows my number & I know his.
ReplyDeleteI got fewer than six.
ReplyDelete@ Jasmine,

Over, but only 3 were any good. I was single for most of my twenties. Pretty sure the hubs is under.
ReplyDeleteWell, if my memory serves me right..I have slept with the same amount of men as Andie McDowell's character in Three Weddings and a Funeral..
