Welcome to the Relationship Advice community on Lemmy and Kbin!

The ideal place to ask for help with your relationships: romantic, friendships, we don't know what we are yet, co-workers or just human interactions in general.

Please make sure you read our rules before posting.

Rules:

Rules can be clicked on to be expanded.

1: Treat all users with respect. [!]

The goal of this community is helping OP and readers, not making fun of them. We are an inclusive community, any sort of disrespect towards ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, etc, will not be tolerated.

2: Mark sexual content as NSFW. [!]

Posts containing mentions or descriptions of sexual topics must be tagged as NSFW. This includes descriptions of sexual acts, requests for advice in the bedroom, explicit descriptions of your body and similar content.

3: All posts must be a request for advice.

All posts must be phrased as a request for advice or as a question. Sharing of stories, personal anecdotes, or past mistakes are only allowed if they're followed by a clear and relevant request for advice with the situation.

4: Provide sufficient and relevant information.

Your title and body need to contain enough information relevant to your situation, such as ages, genders, and the relationship between people mentioned. For privacy-related concerns, we recommend using fake names and broad general locations.

5: Comments must be on topic and relevant to OP.

Comments must be directly related to helping OP, asking for more information, providing relevant resources or otherwise relevant to the thread. Off-topic comments and remarks, suspicious attempts at gathering personal data from OP or other readers, or bullying will not be tolerated.

6: This is a community for requesting advice, not moral judgement.

Moral judgements, "AITA?" and other similar questions are better served by different communities.

Reddit reposts are allowed.

As a temporary measure and the result of a poll, Reddit reposts are allowed following an expanded set of rules: https://lemmy.world/post/317115

How are rules enforced and bans applied?

For the most part, this community operates under the assumption that users are acting in good faith and should be given second-chances for their mistakes. Posts and comments with very light rule violations, or otherwise undesired but mostly harmless content, can be removed by a moderator on a case by case basis without any further punitive actions.

For violations of our rules, we follow a “3 strike” system as follows:

  • 1st violation: 72 hours ban + moderator warning via PMs.

  • 2nd violation: 1 week ~ 1 month ban + final warning via PMs.

  • 3rd violation: 1 month ~ permanent ban.

The goal of this system is making sure users are made aware of their behavior before being permanently banned, but also protecting the community from any rule violations.

Exceptions:

While the “3 strike” system will be applied to the majority of situations, rules marked with a [!] in the sidebar signifies a rule that, if violated in an intentional, malicious or significant way, can warrant an immediate permanent ban regardless of the number of previous violations. This includes severe disrespect to users or groups, dangerous content, and similar.

Is this a big deal or I'm just over thinking it and its normal I'm fine. Their relationship lasted about a year so she's having sex at the age of 13 through her 14. After her ex she's doesn't have any encounter until we met at Freshman of college. She's 18 and I'm 19 at that time. So in summary she have two body counts one on her ex at 13-14 years of age second is me at 18.

Body count is something people like Jordan Peterson are worried about. If you respect women and aren't a right-wing nut or incel: You don't define people with when and how they had sex.
I'd say 13-14 is fine and you can have healthy intimate encounters at that age.
What's your own body count?

The fuck are you talking about? What’s the problem?

Is your native language not English?

You could have just said "My girlfriend has one previous sexual partner before high school, should I be worried?"

'Body Count' as a less than polite phrase aside, it would be 1, as this refers to previous sexual partners.

...

To attempt to answer two questions you may actually be asking:

  1. If you are concerned that she may have some kind unhealthy or immature concept of how sex works in a relationship, due to a fairly young age for a first sexual relationship, yeah maybe that is concerning, maybe she has some trauma related to that, maybe it's not a problem at all.

You would need to talk to her about that or give us some more details.

  1. If you are worried that you are a virgin and she is not, and that you might not sexually please her, then communicate this to her, or communicate during sex so that you can better please her and she can better please you.

A good partner would be understanding, supportive and helpful.

A bad one would mock you, and being with a bad partner isn't worth your time.

You've given no details about her actual personality or anything, so I have no way of knowing what kind of person she is.

She's a wise, caring, understanding and simply beautiful woman. She will only do such things when her ex initiates it. One more thing I like about her, is her honesty. She's quick to admit and confess about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You should match her honesty and show her these posts you've made about her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well when you put it like that, I'd say take it slow, be caring, honest and understanding back toward her, and things will probably work out well!

It sounds like she may be somewhat embarrassed by this past relationship, and you sound like you are capable of appreciating her overcoming that embarrassment or shame and being trusting and open with you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah I'll try my very best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Worried about what exactly? Probably not normal to be having sex THAT young, but what does it matter?

I'd only worry if she's still having sex with him.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

why does her past have anything to do with you? you will most likely break up, you are young. does that mean your next partner can be upset that you've had sex before? i think not.

Prolly for the best you erase the phrase body count from your vocabulary. It doesn't matter in the slightest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Body count is very important, how else do you keep score for serial killers?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Body count is just one metric, but it does nothing to account for style, otherwise you'd get Gacy scoring above The Zodiac Killer, and that's just preposterous

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Body count" is a exist, worthless way to qualify women, ever notice how it never applies to men the same way?

13 and 14 is pretty young, I'll admit, but not worth any concern

Dude seems eastern indian. They usually have the misogynistic questions like this without realizing how ignorant they come off as. The culture is still somewhat backward especially in remote areas
