Past sex life talk with SO

Why do so many girls make it seem like telling your SO how many people you’ve been with is a bad thing?? All you ever see is “it doesn’t matter”. And it’s confusing. Most woman that I know are completely open and honest with their SO. Not just about things that necessarily “matter”. Like couples talk about their past just to get to know each other better. So if you’re really not ashamed, why is your “number” like a forbidden topic? I agree that it shouldn’t matter for most people and nobody should ever make anyone feel bad about it but what’s so bad about knowing just like you probably know a whole bunch of other pointless things about each other? Just seems like girls get offended at even the thought of their person asking how many people they’ve slept with. Like it doesn’t define who you are but it’s still apart of your history and they’re not the bad guy for being curious. They’re just bad if they put you down for it.

Just to clarify, I don’t believe people in general should be asking anyone how many people they’ve slept with. That’s completely inappropriate. I was just saying I don’t see why it’s such a bad thing for your SO to be curious as long as they don’t put you down for it. Like my boyfriend asks me so many random things just to get to know me better but none of those things ever cause him to treat me differently, it just makes us closer.
