“ A man can please a woman by talking about himself after they’re lovers. Then he can confess all his sins and tell her of all the other women he has had.
Lovers who don’t do that and who keep silent on the subject of their pasts are very rare. And they are not too bright, either. Sometimes men like to hear about a woman’s past love affairs, but it’s better for a woman not to take a chance and tell. ”
