And 'other' is about as useless as a flat 'yes' or 'no'. Because if you made the 'other' category for "lets discuss your views to clarify"....you're already having to discuss with the people that picked 'no' anyway.
If you want to keep saying that 'sexual history' is not what the people that voted 'no' think it is, then maybe you should include the different facets of 'sexual history' in your poll choices'.
So you think that there are different facets in the term sexual history?

Otherwise, the question should be:
Do you care if your partner...
...has an STD.
...prefers the gender of which you don't identify.
...has committed pedophilia.
...has a history of violent sexual crimes.
...likes to haves many partners, even in the present.
At which point, "caring" isn't really up to you, is it? An argument could be made for the last two options, but the point still stands that jealousy is assumed when the question is asked.
I don't see why jealousy would be assumed, the post by pauloroberts for example was not about his jealousy it was to do with his own standards, morale values whatever you want to call them. He didn't like the idea of his girlfriend previously enjoying anal sex and being on fetlife, he wasn't jealous of her.
I also don't understand what you mean when you say it isn't up to someone if they care or not about someone involved in acts of pedophilia.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
