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

[Exian]

Once upon a time I cared. 10 years later, I could care less as long as there's no diseases.

Which sort of leads into a discussion of cheating. There was a time when sexual intamacy and being "special" was extremely important to me. After my ex and I split, I dated a few girls who were all very nice and lovely, and each of them would have made good long-term partners. But something dawned on me, which was the idea that if they cheated on me, I wouldn't care, as long as it was safe, and no diseases were transmitted. At first I thought this was a reflection of how little I really cared for that person, how bonded I was, and I subsequently broke it off with many of them, but now I just think its an extension of having realistic expectations and ideals of what love means.

I'm still not confident that this is the right way to go about things, so I thought I'd air it out. If a woman was honest with me and wanted to have other sexual partners, I'd say go for it and get tested. Am I wrong in viewing this as an extension of being at peace with your partners past?

Yes.

They need to have had a sexual past.

I need someone who knows what they're doing. Because I have no idea.

Baaahaha You're the shit, Steel.
