     Guys who've only ever had long-term partners or a limited notch-count often have boring, bland, quick, vanilla sex.

     Don’t reveal your notch count. If a woman asks you how many girls you’ve been with, just say something like, “What, today? Not many...” or “If I told you, I’d have to kill you.”
