When women are asked about the number of their partners, third of women dodge the truth while 64 per cent of these cut down on the number, researchers have found.
Half lie because they 'feel ashamed' of the number, while a further 19 per cent don't want to be seen as promiscuous.
A fifth of women would be dishonest about their number of sexual partners if their new partner had slept with fewer people than them.
Researchers have also shown that there is a split between the genders when it comes to answering the potentially embarrassing question.
A higher proportion of men- 43 per cent - lie to their new partner. In these cases, around 60 per cent increase the amount.
Around 42 per cent of men said they were 'reluctant' to settle down.
In contrast, 21 per cent of the women claim to be 'reluctant' to settle down in a relationship.
The average number of sexual partners - according to the survey, was 7 for women and 13 for men.

I got a forwarded mail...good it seems
To all the guys who read this..please read fully and understand..
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER"
I hope you will do....
