Boyfriend brings up past hookups?
My boyfriend has never been in a relationship before and I’m his first girlfriend. We’ve been seeing each other for 8 months now and sometimes he’ll bring up his past hookups like oh I hooked up with this girl or oh I did it at this place etc. He knows it bothers me because I’ve told him this but he still brings it up sometimes anyways. Why is this and what should I do?

First thing you need to know is guys LIE ALL THE TIME about their past hook ups and most of them are total fairy tales. And wishful thinking.
You're his first girlfriend, and therefore, im sure he has little-to-no past sexual experience at all.
And also realize he has no class and no idea how to talk with you or any female. Who sits around telling a girlfriend about past women? Oh i know, anAsshole does.
This guy you're talking about has no class, finesse or charm at all.

It's natural for it to bother you, and it means he is ignorant and doesn't care about your feelings.
Tell him one more time, and if he still does it, dump him.

Tell him that if he respects you, he will honor your wishes to not hear about his past hookups.
NO relationship is worth hanging onto if your partner doesn't care about your feelings.
This is either a deal-breaker for you, or you will learn to relax and not be bothered by it. It is up to you. If you don't accept this behavior, it will end up wrecking the relationship so you might as well just leave now. And you probably SHOULD leave because he knows it bothers you, yet he still does it and doesn't care how YOU feel. Even if he stops talking about his past hookups, there will be some other form of selfishness that bothers you. His past hookups are not the problem. His selfishness is, and he probably has never had a relationship because other girls have sensed this and refused to become involved with him.
You too should refuse to become involved with him. If you want to be happy.

I think that the reason he does this is due to an insecurity about being inadequate for you. Remember, guys often like to please their girlfriends and part of that involves being both experience and competent at the physical aspects of the relationship e.g. kissing. Given that he has never been in a relationship, your boyfriend is referring to these past hook ups as a way of communicating to you that he is "experienced" and knows what he is doing. In order to handle this what you should do is simply explain to him that it does not bother you how much experience he has. Your attraction to him is based on an emotional connection and this is what you value above everything else. I think that when he hears you say this his attitude will change. Good luck and I hope this helps :)

This and your other question regarding sexting makes you seem pretty shallow. Based on what you have going on with other guys, you have no right to tell him anything about who or what he talks about. I actually feel sorry for this guy because you are messing around behind his back. Karma is going to catch up with you an

I firmly believe that a new relationship is a new start, and should not include an accounting of one's romantic/sexual history. Tell your guy that is a condition for your relationship, and that you don't want to hear about, or tell him about either of your sexual pasts. BTW, your guy must be a bit dim to believe you would admire him for previous hookups, or he might just be into adding another notch on his belt for his current sexual conquest (you).
