Do you care about your significant other's sexual past?

[MTL]

I was reading the random slut-shaming troll thread and scrolling through it I was a little surprised at the number of people who seemed to think that it mattered at all. It doesn't. I couldn't give half a care about who I'm datings sexual past. I never even ask unless it comes up in normal conversation (which of course it normally does anyway, because sex is a pretty interesting conversation topic.) Why does anyone seem to care?

As long as his sexual past doesn't include necrophilia, bestiality, pedophilia, or assault,
and as long as he isn't concealing another family in Arkansas, while he's telling me he wants to begin a life with me,
and as long as none of his exes are psychos that will stalk him down and kill me in a jealous rage,
then no, not really.

I also despise the religious moralizing tone of slut-shaming;

However, morals aside, I do worry about practical medical considerations;
diseases like HPV and Herpes CAN potentially be communicated even when a condom is used;
and the more partners someone has had,
the higher risk they are at, to contract something, obviously.

I am not morally PASSING judgment on them for their sexual choices;

however I might EXERCISE judgment about what I choose to expose my OWN body to.
