Feel a bit naive and inadequate about my past

My partner and I come from very different backgrounds. I haven't experienced the things he has. Amongst this is his sexual past. He has had quite the life, been with many women etc. I've only been with three men in relationships and only a handful more sexually intimate with. I'm starting to really doubt myself over it. I feel quite naive and weird that I've not been with loads of men. I don't have loads of stories about my past. I just feel inadequate really. It's a strange feeling. Like I'm not good enough. I'm 40 for context.

You shouldn't keep dating someone if you feel in any way inadequate to them.

He sounds a bit dim, it is very easy to retell a story (if it genuinely is interesting to share) without highlighting that ot was with a past partner. The only reason to deliberately draw attention to the past partner is if you want it noted.
