== II. Never reveal your notch count<ref>The Rational Male - “You’ve been with how many girls?!” https://therationalmale.com/2011/11/22/youve-been-with-how-many-girls/</ref> ==
<blockquote>“Never, under pain of death, honestly or dishonestly reveal the number of women you’ve slept with or explain any detail of your sexual experiences with them to a current lover.”</blockquote>Iron Rule of Tomassi #2 states that a man should never reveal the number of women he has slept with or share details of past sexual experiences with a current partner. Providing this information can lead to resentment, emotional blackmail, or insecurity in the relationship. If asked about one's sexual history, a man should covertly sidestep the question, maintaining a sense of mystery and challenge. Being honest about one's limited sexual experience may seem harmless, but it can create competition anxiety and relinquish control of the relationship's frame to the partner. Revealing this information also gives the partner ammunition for future arguments, leading to comparisons and doubts about the relationship. This rule emphasizes the importance of maintaining ambiguity and discretion about one's past to foster a healthy relationship.
