…an array of perspectives and random thoughts on love...loveS and life...

Are most of us like the penguin or the beetle?

Communication, honesty and truth are the cornerstones of a good relationship. However, some things may be better left unsaid…for example; the number of partners that one has had.


This ad for A&E TV made me curious. Are most of us like the penguin…or…the beetle? Or are we in between?

I have a friend who keeps a spreadsheet (!) on who she has been with plus particular details on the person(s). In fact, her girlfriends and her have quite regular *meetings* to analyse their spreadsheets together. They of course don’t at all plan on divulging any information from their spreadsheets to anyone, apart from their little clique.

Have you/would you tell your partner the number of partners you’ve been with? Is it even necessary to divulge?


I think, what you don’t know won’t hurt you…but I would ask for sexual health checks. If he refuses, I'd be walking...

Yes, it certainly is and the more you have the less likely you are to be able to develop and really good lasting relationship, (like your mum and dad, Wilson)

Hey Lara!

Very interesting post! Laughed out loud about your friend who keeps a spreadsheet, how efficient, haha.

I wonder if lions are having to settle for fewer partners as their numbers decrease... Had no idea ladybirds were so promiscuous!

Lots of fun

Wise words,katyzzz...



I'm still stunned by my friend's spreadsheet, Michaelie.

The ladybirds...must be all that social flitting around that makes them amorous...
