Women come out of the closet with their darkest, dirtiest secrets
...................
Without getting too picky, one of the secrets Japanese women keep from male partners is that one in 10 of them pick their nose and eat it, according to Spa! (11/22), which surveyed 200 gals on the things they hide from guys.
"I've often thought about giving up on eating my boogers, but I never actually get around to doing it," a 24-year-old woman working in textbook industry tells Spa! "Still, I have managed to cut down the number of times I eat it."
Much more common -- though guys would apparently never hear about it -- is dirty talk, with 76 women saying they always talk about such things as bowel movements and the size of certain parts of the male anatomy when taking part in a girl's only get together.
"I always act in a very refined manner, but when I get together with my friends, all we talk about is poop," a 23-year-old woman working in the finance industry says.
Number twos are behind more women's secrets, too, with almost a quarter saying that they have pooped their pants at least once even in adulthood and about the same number admitting that there have been times when they have failed to wash their hands after laying an egg, so to speak.
"At least that's not as bad as a guy who doesn't wash his hands," a 23-year-old wholesaler tells Spa!
Women's liberation, albeit of a slightly different type than the feminists fight for, is also a hush-hush topic around guys, with 13 women fessing up to having gone out while not wearing panties.
"I had to go out for a night without any underwear as part of a dare," a 23-year-old communications worker says. "I couldn't believe how liberating it was and started to do it all the time."
Other women, meanwhile, have even deeper secrets, often stuffed in the bottom of their handbags.
"I didn't listen to my boyfriend when he told me to get rid of an adult aid that I owned and I still even use it sometimes," says a 29-year-old saleswoman, one of 35 of the 200 surveyed women who admitted that hiding sex toys was one of the things they refused to let men know about.
Another of those women, a 27-year-old teacher, tells a similar story.
"My lover gave me a sex toy, so I couldn't possibly let my boyfriend know they'd I'd been using it. My boyfriend bought an identical one so that we could use it together," the teacher tells Spa! "It was really hard to act as though I had no idea how to use it."
