Divine Caroline and I are back with another edition of the 4-Way. Enjoy!
Dear 4-Way,
Do you think it’s a good idea to find out how many sexual partners the person you’re dating has had? If the answer is “yes,” when in the relationship is the best time to ask?—LL, Los Angeles, CA

There are many amazing moments in the beginning of a new relationship, but there is an equal number of awkward and mildly terrifying moments, too. Learning about his sexual history and giving him yours, including your number of sexual partners and any STI exposure risks, can be very revealing.
Though often there is shame if you feel inexperienced or guilt if you feel too experienced, sharing this information is important for the emotional growth in your relationship and for your sexual health.

There may be nothing as awkward as informing a previous sexual partner that you've exposed him or her to an STI, but it's also one of the best things that you can do. Unfortunately, many people think that shame outweighs doing what's right, and thus, STIs continue to thrive. Now InSpot.org, a site based in San Francisco, assists people in anonymously notifying their partners about possible exposure to an STI through email. 
As the year comes to a close, it's hard, if you're single, not to reflect on how many new sexual partners you had this year. If you're a little wilder, you might have even had a few one-night stands. So as part of my year-end coverage, I decided to pry a little bit and poll you about these topics.
