    She doesn't need to know. If you feel uncomfortable keeping it from her then do tell her, but you're under no obligation to tell a new partner about your past sex life.

    Only if asked, or if your relationship reaches the point at which you'd feel comfortable telling her. Usually, it's better to wait to discuss deeply personal issues until you know how the other person will react (or at least have a really good idea).

    it might be a bit too personal to tell her now. You might want to wait until you know her well enough. You have no idea how she will react. Besides she really doesn't need to know that. Its in your past.

      She might have had oral sex with other girls before, if you feel like telling her do it, or ask her if she enjoys oral sex.

    A bit late to the party...and my 1.2 cents. A different perspective from most comments I've read...

    I belive there are things you should disclose before starting any relationship (but not necessarily in this order). Fundamentally though, be a man and be honest from the start. Honesty doesn't begin when you fall in love, it begins from the moment you two decide to have a relationship, especially a sexual one. As us guys are more prone to a one-night stand, #1 below is a must regardless. But since your post is about "a date" my perspective is that you are looking for a relationship so here's my list to disclose:

    1. If you have any STD's
    2. Criminal past
    3. Sexual orientation/experiences
    4. Financial situation...past/present
    5. Repeat #1...and if you don't know for sure, grow a set and go get tested.

    I'm sure others can add to this list but my point is that these 4 items, in my personal experiences, are what get blown out of proportion, more often than not, when the relationship gets serious (or sexual with #1) and now the other feels like they were lied to or deceived or just dont like surprises. With # 1 you're a piece of shit if this isn't disclosed and you should be castrated, but i digress. Also, there's "never" a good time to tell the other after the relationship has started and the reality is that it often gets worse the longer you wait. So...Avoid all that crap by disclosing up front. Trust me that it may save the relationship if it truly gets serious (who knows), and the past rears its ugly head! And the past will do that, a lot!!!

    Btw...disclosure does not mean "graphic" detail, but he/she may ask for it. Let them decide how much detail they want but not before you've presented it in a neutral summary fashion first. It's all in the presentation. For instance, you can tell her you like to suck dick when you're single and having fun...and I'm guessing she might not take that in the spirit of how you want her to take it :0, whereas telling her that you've had sexual experiences with both male/female but never when dating/attached may be viewed more favorably. :)

    Ok maybe this was more like 5 cents. Hahaha

    Good luck!

    Well if you are sure you wint regret it then, yeah sure tell her :] one of the most important things in a relationship is honesty and being open. But like other users said, if you feel uncomfortable you don't have to tell her now. You could wait.

      Ok let me re-phrase...When I am in a relationship (only with women), am totaly commited to that one person. But if I am not in a relationship and I am out having fun...lol. And the urge comes over me. I might do stuff with a guy... So do I let her know?...lol

    I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 23 myself. I find that the older you get, the more that people respect your privacy when it comes to your past relationships, since we've all done some things we may not be too proud of, or maybe just didn't have figured out at the time.

    The only reason I would ever be curious of someone's previous relationships would be to know their status with sexually transmitted infection. But even that doesn't require me to know whom they were with, or what sexes they were, or how many partners they had. It's none of my business. The past is in the past. What matters is now.

    You only need to share it with her if it truly bothers you that she doesn't know for some reason. I'm sure there's things she hasn't told you, but you can respect her privacy as well.

    In my experience beat to tell her, maybe not instantly but you should tell her as soon as you feel like you can confine to one another in privacy, the last thing you want is her to find out, make sure you tell her how you feel about your past whether you are fine/proud of it or you regret or feel ashamed

    If you are planning on doing it again then hell ya you got to tell your girl. But if not then don't tell. Also if you feel guilty n want to tell, do it to a person who won't judge you..

      Good point.

    I'm confused though. Are you bi or did you just give some guys blowjobs once? If you're actually bi, you should tell your new dates that whenever you feel is appropriate to talk about your sexual orientation. If it was just random hookups and you're not actually interested in men, then you should tell your dates if/when you think it is appropriate to discuss past hookups.

    I don't see what the big deal is though?

      No I don't see the big deal either, just giving and receiving BJ's doesn't make you GAY or even BI.

          Yh I totally agree I would never have a relationship with a guy but I would marry a woman. I have gona all the way with a guy and basically been a real slag with them but I am not gay it was just me and a friend sexually helping each other out. I loved sucking cock and would do it again but I lovr women and have fallen in live but no as long as you do not love men than you're cool

    I think you should say something unless you are absolutely, positively sure there's no way it will come back to you. Like these guys better not be facebook friends or there are pictures of you guys together floating around or something.
