It's time to break up with the idea that a woman's sexual past is anyone's business but her own.
With the rise of dating and relationships, it's become increasingly common for partners to pry into each other's pasts, often with disastrous consequences.
But why do we do this? Is it really necessary to know about our partner's sexual history, especially if it's not relevant to our current relationship?
According to a recent article, the answer is a resounding no.
As the author so eloquently puts it, 'The truth of the matter is, the woman you are dating has had sex with other men, probably a lot of other men.'
And perhaps it wasn't just the conventional, vanilla sex either. There's a whole world of kinks and fetishes out there, and maybe she explored a few during her wild phase.
But here's the thing: it's not like you were a virgin when you met her, anyway. You likely had a wild time before you met her, and it's time to get over your own double standards.
So, how can you judge a woman for having the exact same wild sexual past as yourself? And even if you didn't sow your wild oats and you have had a less colourful sexual past than her, you're still not in a position to judge.
Whatever crazy sexual adventures she got up to before she met you should be none of your business. In fact, do yourself a solid and avoid bringing up the topic of her sexual past altogether.
It's time to focus on the present and the future, not the past. If you meet a woman who makes you happy and who you see a future with, her past shouldn't matter.
So, the next time you're tempted to pry into your partner's sexual past, remember: it's none of your business. Instead, focus on being the best partner you can be, and try to be the best she's ever had.
