Do you care about your partners sexual history?

When getting into a relationship with someone, do you care to know your partners sexual history?

There are many examples where someone might be uncomfortable with their partners history. Just to name a few
- Perhaps they spent much of their life sleeping around with multiple people, and never had a truly monogamous relationship. Though now they want to change
- They had intimate relationships with people of the same sex
- They had no sexual relationships, and likely won't be comfortable with the idea for some time

Does any of this matter to you? Would you stop dating someone if you knew of parts of their sexual history that could make you uncomfortable? Or would you stay with them?

Superb Opinion

  • I'd like to say it doesn't matter, but someone with a very sketchy relationship pattern would make me curious and skeptical. Like me, for example. My relationships are too short and my hookup streaks are too long. I can see the issue here. Who wants to become failed relationship number X?
    Virgins would be great hookup candidates, but again, in my case, do I really want to promise them things I cannot give them? I don't want to be a bad memory for anyone who thinks of me as a "first".
    I don't care if they've experimented with the same sex etc.

  • Yes, I care. A woman can do what she wants and is attracted to certain people for certain traits. I also can do what I want and I am attracted to certain people for certain traits. I am not attracted to a woman who has had more than 8 partners. 8 is enough, just like the tv show I guess.

    More than that is disgusting, shows a lack of judgement, shows a lack of values that I want in a woman. Woman say it’s not important which means they are hiding it as even they know it is a turn off. I am repulsed by a woman that had casual sex and sucked many dicks that she now wants to kiss me or our future children. Be a slut if you want, just don’t hide it. People will tell your husband eventually as people like to do that since it is juicy news. A drunken brother, a jealous sister or friend, an ex, or just someone who knows her reputation will spill the beans.

  • I don't personally care too much aside from the fact that sometimes I find women who fit the "Slept around a lot and want to change" are usually WAYYYYYYYYY more weird about sex. Like to the point where all of their "screening" and "testing" of me just becomes absurd and they don't let sex just naturally happen. They ignore the fact that everything is going great and just obsessively look at sex as a problem and/or something that can "ruin things." I knew a girl like that. We knew each other for a year. Spent SOOOOOOOOOO much time together. 90% of our time was doing nonsexual things but every time we had sex she'd make a big deal out of it and act like it was a problem and/or something we "shouldn't have done." And would smack me away any time I attempted cuddles. Even though we slept in the same bed.

Most Helpful Girl

  • Not at all. It doesn't real matter to me because I'm the one they are with now.

    My current partner has been with A LOT more people than me. My last partner was bisexual and had slept and had relationships with men before.

    But none of that bothers me because, they are with ME now.

  • Present and future for me.

  • Yes. I do.

  • Maybe a little. I don't like going very deep into others sexual history

  • That was never an issue for me!

  • Nah don’t give a toss really,

  • Never have been interested in my partners history or past. It just doesn’t matter to me.
    however with all the girls I dated, we did sort of talk about out it eventually. They were all normal sex lives. I guess I had the most to worry about sharing that info as I typically had the most exes and 1 night stands

  • Once a ho, always a ho.

  • Well, since I am young I do care. It would be alarming if the guy I am dating has many bodies. It would also eliminate the option of having him as a sexual partner. Also there would be a high risk of getting a disease from him which is not worth it.

    • That, I do understand! Would you be cool with talking about something im having struggles with?

    • I was going to write the same thing you did. :)

  • Yes I want to know my partners sexual past.

    Does it matter to me though?
    No it doesn't, I couldn't care less how many people or who she's slept with.

    As long as she is clear from STIs and healthy.

  • When you get into your 30s it's inevitable your partner is going to have past sexual partners. As far as I'm concerned that's the past and really don't care. It's more about the connection and sexual chemistry the two of them have

  • No, if you mean her sexual history to be a possible issue. No problem at all. But some information may lead to nice enjoyable moments. Meaning that her history may in some cases reveal rather exciting and instructive.

  • Yes, I do.

  • it is not important to me at all. if I'm with someone, it's here and now. I would definitely talk to him about sex but about his preferences and fantasies to meet his expectations and our sex life was fantastic

    • @justyna98 that’s pretty much my view, it’s the here and now that’s important. That and I’m the one with the dark side lol

    • So me

  • Yeah i need a detailed breakdown and medical documentation.

  • Ya definitely it’ll tell you what type of person they are

  • Yes, I do. First time customers should shop for brand new machinery, not used and damaged.

  • Really allI care about us her virginity status

  • Not necessarily

  • their history is none of my business

  • Apparently I just don't care.
