Disclosing sexual partners

I am a 21-year-old male who lives with his 22-year-old girlfriend who happens to be far more sexually experienced than I. I often find myself wondering how many partners she has had, but when ever I bring it up she becomes extremely defensive and tells me that it is,"Non of my business." I disagree, mostly because we are so close and have even discussed marriage. I am posting this because I would like to know if it is normal for couples to disclose their "Numbers?"

    I say it is immature to draw judgement without the evidence, and anyways if you truly love her it would not matter how many men she has been with. She doesn't feel like telling you, so that's her choice. You don't have the right to know unless she chooses to tell you. It would not be a right, it would be gratitude.

      She has given me a number and said that it was "at least" that many, so I am not presuming anything other than the fact that I consider that number to be significantly greater than my own, personal number.

    She is definitely going to come up with something weird like a threesome or something. She Could be a complete total slut who slept with a whole platoon of guys! And if you ever start arguing, she will just run to one of her many exes like that, in a split second. No questions answered. So I would go: it's either you tell me how many partners you slept with or I am dumping you.
    I want to know everything. Names, surnames, height, how long you have been together, body weight, social standing, whether they had any fur on or barked very frequently, everything you can tell me about each one of them. Tell you what, just type everything down onto a file and sent it to my e-mail address along with pictures and possibly cellphone numbers and e-mail addresses, I wanna talk to them personally.
    oh yeah! that is one of the many reasons she might not want to talk about it! she might be afraid you'd try contacting them and get to know stuff she doesn't want you to know! it is just so obvious! Anyway watch out.
    She might be hiding a whole list of past lovers she still did not completely get over with just waiting for some troubles in heaven to go back to hell.

    I don't think it matters. Your probably better off not knowing. But if she gets mad and defensive about it then she could be hiding something. So I would worry about that

    Do not even ask, this may cause you to look at her differently. You are happy with her now so do not go digging for things in her past that do not matter. I do not ask my girlfriend because I think more than me is disgusting lol. I also am honest and would not like to tell her how many I have had in my past so she doesn't call me a man whore or something.

    I really think it is acceptable to know. You don't have to know who, but I think a number is the least someone could say, if they are considering to marry you. If you both trust each other, what would really be the big secret? I don't like that she won't tell you.

    if it was one or two, she wouldve tell you, if she doesnt tell you, then there is something to hide. will it really make a difference if she say 10, 20 or 50? you already know what you wanted to know, your girl has been around, now you just need to decide if youre ok with it or not.

    Never ask a question that you don't really want to know the answer to!!

    You are trying to torture yourself - stop thinking about it before you drive her away.

    Grow up and be happy with what you have!!

    Don't push her to tell you. If she doesn't want to tell you, then it's none of your businness.

  • I think this is something that you should have discussed, and accepted before having sex.

    What does it matter now? It doesn't. If she had any children or STD's you would know by now, and finding out how many people she's been with won't make the sex any different.

    Yes it is normal to discuss these things. Obviously safe sex is recommended even for two people who have never had another partner regardless (STDs can potentially be transmitted during birth).

    If she isn't disclosing this to you there could be a few different reasons as to why. Perhaps she is simply embarrassed, or maybe she doesn't feel close enough to you to say.

    You say things are getting serious to the point of possible marriage, and it sounds like you two haven't been together very long. My thoughts is this, if you two haven't talked about past partners yet, but are already planning a marriage it's pretty obvious someone is rushing things (or both of you are). I would suggest dating longer before getting married, but I'm not your parents and you are an adult, so feel free to make that decision yourself.

    But if it were me I would want to know how active she has been.

    Cheers,
