Dear Julie,
I'm in deep s**t over relationships. I'm a 35-year-old woman and met a very handsome 43-year-old man. We've been dating for five months now and still haven't slept together.

My problem is that in the beginning of our relationship, he asked me how many men I've slept with and worried about how he would react, I lied and told him I'd slept with seven men. But after a few months, I could not live with the lie and finally decided to tell him the reason why I still haven't slept with him yet.

I told him I didn't want to make love because I was scared that he'd lose respect and eventually leave me like all the other men. At this point he asked me again, just how many men were there, to which I replied forty-three.

His reply was, “Hmm, one for each of my birthday.” And from that day on, I never heard from him again. I don't get it , why is it that when men sleep around, they're studs , yet when women sleep around, they're sluts ? Why can't women have their fun too?
