Why is this important?

If she's a slut you should be able to tell, and you shouldn't be with her. Goes the same if she has STDs. Other than that I don't see it as important.

You would be surprised at how discreet some girls are with... one can almost fool you with a front if you aren't on top of your game.

What it comes down to is, if you love the girl you'll accept her for her baggage.

I completely disagree. I say you screen her to see how much baggage she has, and then decide how much to invest after that. You don't have to outright ask the number to do that, and I wouldn't advise it, either. However, I don't condone long-term investment in a girl who's a slut, even if she insists she's gotten it out of her system. If you're looking for a quick fuck, none of this matters, and godspeed. But if you're thinking long-term, studies show every partner a girl has increases her risk of divorce by at least 10%+. The numbers are sobering.

In my opinion I think you'll find it's actually none of your business who she's been out with/how many blokes she's been with. None of your business whatsoever. And what's with all this screening shit and some of the guys on here thinking she may be a slut and even calling her a slut? If you've had sex with as many women as she's had with guys, that makes you a slut as well. Are you saying it's alright for you to fuck who you want but she must remain a virgin or something? Dude it's 2013. Not 1320. Get real.

If you ask her anything about her previous sexual relationships and you don't like what you hear, it will freak you out. How about getting to know her better and making up your mind that way instead of getting her drunk so she'll tell all? What kind of devious creep would do that? I'd stay well away from asking her anything about past boyfriends. Guys can't cope AT ALL hearing about it so it's best you don't go there. JMO.

Well, what if she brings the talk first, something along the lines "just curious how your last RS ended", "its strange you didn't ask me about my life/experience before we've met", etc. And she obviously wants to give you relevant non-detailed info about herself? What if she doesn't understand that you "don't want to hear it", because she doesn't think you should get upset over history? That was my case. She didn't say real details at first, but when she manipulated my curiosity I had to put pieces together as it all sounded strange. Sure, I didn't like what I found out.

Its not that I expect the girl to be virgin, but there's difference between having sexual history in context of romance or some casual sex at normal age because she couldn't find fitting relationship, and when you find out that girl you thought has good qualities, had kinky sexual encounter with no attachment whatsoever. Its now individual if you'll give a shit. Because not everyone is comfortable having to visualize that your "decent girlfriend" objectized sex, maybe had jizz all over the place, and was herself an object of someone's urge who didn't give a shit about her, and they hardly even remembered their names for one night. It sounds cheap and you'll be the one forced to believe how special you are to her and all that crap.

Well, what contains more of a value? that you are giving her relationship ride, or that you are one amongst the guys to whom she gave blowjob or virginity in one night just out of horniness?

Also, regarding my case, she had only one similar experience before me, one intercourse, but when we first fucked, there was no blood or pain. How does that fit with the story that women usually bleed even after second or third intercourse?

Nothing good comes out of this. This is the cost of sexual environment we live in, its all fun and shit when you're single acting on "I have to fuck every girl I meet, even sluts", but when life offers you a relationship down the road, then people are having second thoughts. This is the paradox of human nature, and its not simple as "just don't ask, live in ignorance, and its none of your concern whether your partner was criminal, misused hard drugs, had suspicious forms of sex before you two met". I don't know what to think of it really.

To the OP, if you could avoid the information, avoid it. Curiosity will mindfuck you for a while, but not as much if you really dig up something you know will bother the shit out of you.

I dig that. LMAO! Is that a real statistic? I bet it is. I would love to see where you got it though, not that I'm doubting.
