Quinch Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Many years ago at college I had the opportunity to sleep with a really nice girl - a friend of a friend - but didn't because I already knew too much about her previous partners (some of whom were friends of mine) and I just felt uncomfortable with the idea. Its not how many people she had slept with but how much I knew about it. Normally, when I start sleeping with someone new, I make a point of telling her I don't want to know about her ex-partners so long as she's clean and safe. I figure what happened in the past stays in the past and every new relationship needs to start with a clean slate but, to be honest, sometimes I regret that I turned her down. How much do you want to know about your partner's sexual history? Is it possible to know too much? I would also be interested to know if you would be turned off by someone having 'too many' exes and how many would that be for you?
sb129 Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I make a point of telling her I don't want to know about her ex-partners so long as she's clean and safe. I figure what happened in the past stays in the past and every new relationship needs to start with a clean slate I think this is a very healthy way to start a new R. I have made the mistake of giving too much information to someone who couldn't handle it at all.... it was one of the major factors that destroyed the relationship eventually.
Krytie TV Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 That's a tough one. I in no way want a detailed resume of my partner's other partners, but I do want to have an idea if I'm with a tramp or not. I was actually wondering about how to go about finding out about one's sexual behavior without asking about partners as such.
