Why would I want to ask about my wife's sexual past?

I see the title and I think that maybe this is a rhetorical question.

I see so many threads from posters who are struggling with the knowledge they have gained about their SO's sexual past and I wonder why why why does it even matter?

My wife was married twice before me. I was more concerned with why she got divorced than I was with what she did in bed with them, or what she did in bed with any other guy.

Maybe it is just confidence, maybe it is just that I accept that she is a sexual being - but the only question I asked was whether she was healthy - or whether I needed to be concerned about safe sex.

I don't care at all to know the details. I am not afraid of anything - I just figure why put her on the spot and really, again, what difference does it make?

I see guys and gals opening themselves up for big hurt and disappointments by going down this disclosure road.

I will just enjoy the fruits of whatever she did in the past. She is very good in bed, and I enjoy her. I am not going to ask her who taught her how to do this or that. There are some things I want to teach her myself and I do not care to say that such and such girlfriend did this. She only needs to know that I like it.

I think this might just be a rhetorical blurt on my part but if anyone else wants to give their opinion I would be interested in reading it.

Put the internet to work for you.
