The fact that your girlfiend is 4 years older than you is not an indicator of sexual problems or child-bearing issues. Regardless of her age, factors that could be issues regarding your concerns can include the following: If she is not a virgin, she may have contracted a sexually transmitted infection that she is not aware of, some of these can lead to infertility in women and could also be passed on to you if left untreated. The best recommendation I have is to communicate any concerns regarding these issues to her in order to clear up any fears either of you may have. 29 is certainly in the range of becoming pregnant and bearing children. It is important to be able to communicate in a relationship in order to facilitate trust and openness. You have an idea what sexual concerns you may be referring to, and she will be the one to help you find out more appropriate answers! Good luck and write back if you have any other questions.
