Well ... let's see here:

1. Don't ask what you don't want to know the answer to. And it sounds like you shouldn't ask about her sexual past.
2. Most of the women I know who had all male friends tend to be drama-free, independent and ornery. So my experience has always been that it's a good thing actually. Now if she likes to keep ties with past boyfriends ... well that can be an altogether different issue, but that doesn't sound like the case.
3. I've mentioned before that I wouldn't bring up the prostatitis unless you guys get closer and maybe move toward a physical relationship.

Finally, if they've been friends for as long as you say, she'll probably keep it that way. I doubt he's any "threat" at all to your relationship. As a matter of fact, he might want to tread lightly as trying to push it might mean he could lose his friendship with her. Just as an example, my wife was friends with a guy for ... 36 years? ... and he tried something last year. She hasn't spoken to him since then. A dumb move cost him two good friends (myself and Mrs Webgoji).

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
