How to disguise a promiscuous past to new man
Dear Sally Ann
I've had a lively past and slept with quite a lot of men. I'm now 29 and am seeing this amazing man who I hope is the one. The only thing is that I know he has not had many past lovers - he's had steady girlfriends. I'm worried about my past - I've never had a long-term boyfriend. If he probes about past relationships what do I say? Should I own up about how many men I've slept with? I know I sound neurotic but I really don't want to mess this one up.

Dear Lively
You don't sound the least bit neurotic and I'm very glad you have asked me this question before you blurted out the hideous truth. How many men have you slept with? Less than the number of women he has slept with! It's that simple. Lie. As you will be trawling through your personal histories with your new boyfriend, it would be a good idea to promote a couple of old bonks to old boyfriend status - that way you can account for your time better and morph stories that may be about half a dozen unsavoury characters, down to two or three men in total.
Some men aren't bothered by a woman's 'lively' past but it's not worth taking the risk that your new bloke isn't one of them. So, apart from not having slept with many men, remember that when you did, you didn't enjoy it very much either. It's not that it didn't mean anything (Meaningless sex. God forbid.) it's just that with him it means so much more. A bit of 'baby, you're the best' always goes down well.One more thing, make sure your friends are properly briefed. You don't want to be in a social situation where one of them says, 'do you remember when we were in Ibiza and you did it with three men on one night?'
