It's simple .. if a guy talks about how many lovers he's had or how much he loves sex - everyone thinks that's natural and he is a stud.

If a woman talks about how many lovers she's had or how much she loves sex - everyone thinks she's a tramp or a whore etc...

As long as my partners don't see me as a dirty whore I'm fine :] Let other people have their stupid thoughts, what do I care? I'm not going to lie if I'm comfortable enough discussing it in the first place.

I agree that it depends on who I am speaking to but I definitely am not honest with most and tend to minimize. But now if you want to talk about my cool new toys

I think some women lie and some don't. I agree with Stormy that some of the lying may be due to women being shamed by revealing themselves as sexual creatures.

I'm certainly not ashamed of my actions, and will tell when I think the tale deserves telling. I also know how to use politeness and not use my sexual life to make others uncomfortable in situations where talking about sexual situations is not advisable.

I keep the number of lovers I've had to myself. For me, that isn't anyone business, I just don't think it's information most people need. Aside from that, I'm honest if asked.

Depends on the woman. Personally I'm honest with my boyfriend, but it might not be that easy or comfortable for others.

I think most women are honest but it prob depends on who's asking them. Honestly it's not just everyone's business anyway.

I think it comes down to the personality of the person that they are speaking with. A lot of my friends are very open about sex and sexuality and don't judge so it is easy to be honest with them during a frank discussion on sex. But I have encountered people who a little more reserved about the topic, with them I just omit certain details (such as I was in an open relationship, three-ways and enjoy anal)

Certainly some women do, but I wouldn't go far to say "most." Odds are good that it varies by location and cultural values.

People lie! There's always expectations involved and people start to lie when they think they need to meet those expectations.

I don't know how much lying goes on, but I know most women are not extremely open about it, especially in person.

I wanted to pose this question to you guys. Do women still feel the need to lie about their sexual appetite or needs? I recently ... more
I think other women do, but I don't. I don't have any STDs, and always used protection. Who cares? I can't even count, to be honest. I estimate 80.

I think it depends on the community, but mine is largely religious. People lie about sex all the time. More often than not, people say they are virgins when they aren't.

I'm honest..but do other women lie, yes. Most? Maybe not, but there are definitely a lot of them who do.
