Sexual partners how many's too many?

[sheekormeek]

So my current boyfriend and I are starting to become intimate. Hes asking about previous numbers of bed notches, and I've got a forest of them, to be blunt. Now I don't think my issue is a problem personally but am worried as to how he may react!



I really like him dont want to put him off

HOW MANY IS TOO MANY???

You are not entitled to tell him anything about your sex life. That's your own business. All you should do is tell him that you have had intercourse and you don't feel like you should have to go into detail about how many you have had.

Right, I don't think you have to tell him your history and all that jazz. He doesn't really need to know. He might like to know, in order to become more familiar with you, but it's still up to you whether to tell him or not.

Just so you know, guys can be jealous in weird ways, and it might make him uncomfortable (though he is still curious). Just use your best discretion as to what he should know and what he doesn't need to know.

I'm going to have to disagree a bit. I think depending on how serious your relationship is with him (are you planning to sleep with him) you should tell each other about your sexual past. I don't think any form of secrecy is good for a relationship. If you are open and honest, then you eliminate any sort of problems that could arise in the future.

I had not even considered the possibility of STDs or anything else. Now that I'm giving it second thought, I believe that it is important to not keep any secrets if you plan on having a long-term relationship. If he can't handle you or your past, then he wasn't worth it anyways.
