Didn't ask...

Didn't tell...

Didn't care...

I never feared for her fidelity.

ditto. It's nice not to have to break someone in.

I've never asked, so I have no clue. I know there was at least one before me because I'm wife #2.

He does know how many I've been with, but I'm not sure if recalls the exact number these days.

FTR, I had/have no qualms telling anybody my weight or age.

Not an issue. What should be an issue is ..."any STD's I should be informed about?"

I asked, and I am struggling with the answer for almost a yearnow... It took a toll on an otherwise great relationship...If you're not ready to handle the answer, don't ask...

I did come across an interesting article by Huffingtonpost regarding a new study done in conjunction with a couple of Universities and the national marriage project. The study shows that more pre-marital sexual partners leads to unhappier marriages.

Here's the article: New Study Claims People Who've Had More Sexual Partners Report Unhappier Marriages
And again...correlation does not equal causation.

It doesn't matter as long as they pass an STD test; I won't touch ANYONE unless they have a recent STD test to prove their cleanliness to me.

If you care about numbers in your partner - you need to grow up. There are more important aspects to be concerned about.

He was very clearly pursued by a lot of girls/young women, and I was basically curious to know how many of those he had acted on. Fourth, because the incidents I did know about were... well, pretty crazy. Mod cut. I didn't have nearly the same sort of experience before him, and never really longed for it, so I kind of was trying to figure out where his headspace was. So, those were MY reasons.

On the other hand, it obviously didn't matter much in the long run. We've been married a decade now and I have zero complaints in the loyalty department. He seems to have gotten his partying out beforehand, had no other kids/diseases, and basically we're very compatible in the bedroom.

(I'm still a little curious, though, lol. His reply was always "not as many as you think" - which is probably true.)

Not married, but I assume any woman that is hot enough to get my attention and initiates *%#, hardcore *€>* and asks me to *-)# her &*%& and *&*#& like a &*%&#@ *(&%)- has already been with way more guys than I actually want to know about in terms of numbers.

Good times though.

I don't think my husband or I ever bothered to keep count.

We're a little older than a bunch of you are. When we were young, most people seemed to have had a freer, more accepting attitude about sex. It was fun back then, in the days before HIV. People were polite about it and no one I knew had serious hang ups.


Anyone who was negative about my past experiences, now, would be kicked to the curb pretty fast.
