Should I be concerned about his sexual history?

[Ox In A Box]

My boyfriend of a few months has a lot of friends that are girls. He was upfront about that with me on our first date. Recently, he told me that in the past when he was single and attracted to one of his friends and vice versa, they would sometimes be sexually active with each other.

I don't know how I should feel about this. A couple of months ago, one of his friends came down to visit him. I found out later that he had a complicated dating history with her. But he flat out told me (I didn't even ask him) that when she visited, they did not do anything physical. He said that they "hung out like regular friends."

He's a really honest guy and just as I explained in my example, he's generally very blunt and forthcoming without me ever needing to prompt, question, or pry things out of him. I really want to trust him but at the same time, I'm worried. I don't know exactly what I'm worried about. Maybe I'm worried that he's going to cheat on me. Maybe I'm worried that one of his friends will tempt him. I don't know how often he communicates with some of these girls that he's had a sexually history with. For what it's worth, he's only had sex with 3 partners prior to me so it's not like he's screwing every friend he has when he's single.

Thoughts?

Although I don't know your age, three partners doesn't sound like a huge number. And he seems to be pretty honest: not many guys will just bring up their sexual history on the first date. I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

I agree with Acheron really. It doesn't sound like there is anything to warrant worry. I think you just have good old fashioned paranoia! (Yay. ) But really, do you know if he has a past history of cheating? Because unless there is some evidence to the contrary, he sounds honest and caring enough to not do that sort of thing.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I could understand if he wasn't be truthful with you from the start and you had a reason to be suspicious.
But, honestly, it sounds like he's being upfront with you, and not hiding who he's slept with. I've only slept with two people and my boyfriend has only slept with three, and that's including me. It's not a huge number and not something to worry about. If he starts acting weird towards you, then you might want to pry some information out of him.

It doesn't matter whether what he did or what he was doing was wrong or right, what matters is how you feel. If it makes you feel uncomfortable or insecure, he has to stop doing these things.
