Is it normal to hide a dark past of gay sex and porn to my girlfriend?

I am a heterosexual guy with a promiscuous and uninhibited past. Around the time I was 18, I had several partners and I even experimented with other guys. I have slept with 3 guys, but it was mostly the consequences of substance abuse, depression and even money issues sometimes.

Another shocking thing that happened to me is that I was filmed while having sex. When I was young I didn't care about it at all, because I trusted the people recording. However, one of the guys had his cellphone stolen and some of the videos ended up online.

Now many years have passed since all this and my life has completely turned around. I am only dating girls now and I am mostly around healthy and productive environments.

However, one thing that I don't know is whether or not I should reveal my new girlfriends about my past. I tried to explain this once and the results were awful. I don't believe most people would accept a guy who had gay experiences and has porn videos online.

So, I am writing here to know if you think it is normal to hide this... and girls, I would like to know if you would ever accept a guy like me, considering my past.

    I don't see what's wrong with your past. Gay sex and porn aren't wrong.

    There's no reason for anyone to have a problem with that man, surprised maybe, but it's no excuse for anyone to hate or reject you. It'll still happen though, probably a lot.

    Don't share. Girls are hypocrites and fine hooking up with other girls, but if a guy hooks up with another guy, they will run in the opposite direction.

    It took me about six months with my current boyfriend to tell him that I have been recorded before him and I got together. Now, with his consent I have been doing webcamshows and even hooked up IRL as a Dominatrix for money and gifts.

    So ...yeah of course I would not mind some gay experiences or videos from my boyfriend either.

    But this said ... not everyone are as open-minded as him and I about sexual activities so my advice is to gently try and find out what her opinion is about all these things and then decide if you should tell her or not.

    I personally want to share every aspect of my life with the one I'm together with and try to always let people know that I AM promiscuous and pansexual (Or quite frankly a slut)
    But a faithful one, I would NEVER do anything behind the back of my boyfriend.

    This said, test the waters and then decide. This does not affect your current relationship as long as you know you are STD-free.

    Man, I'm a girl and I'm gonna be honest - I am very progressive and liberal in my views and thinking, and completely understand your story. However - if my boyfriend turned around and told me a story like it, I would be completely paranoid that he was gay. That's just human nature, it overrules your brain - when you're in love with someone, you think they're so great and perfect that you're constantly looking for reasons why they are with someone so flawed and imperfect as yourself - therefore if you hear something like this you seize on it and drive yourself crazy with it.

    You're not doing it any more, you're straight, you experimented, your past is your business. I can see LupedOut said something similar and people didn't like it - tough shit, it's the truth and most girls disagreeing are just playing the understanding wifey in public, they're react differently in real life.

    You should vaguely let them know that you had a permiscuous past you aren't proud of. You should warn them of anything they may end up confronted with. Say you screwed a current friend of theirs in the past. They deserve to know that their beloved screwed the person they stare at frequently. Otherwise it's awkward and hey don't know why. You should say something about being nude online, explaining you don't want to give her specifics because itp's unnecessary and awkward, but felt she had the right to know.

    Everyone has the right to know what may haunt them, nobody has the right to know the graphic details.

    You are not heterosexual, you are bisexual. You should tell your girl friend that, she has a right to know and decide whether to date a bisexual or not. I am a straight man and have no problem with bisexual girls. If you truly care about her, you wold respect her decision...

    "I am a heterosexual guy...", considering what you just wrote, no, no you are definitely not.
    And man, she is your girlfriend. You should be able to share ANYTHING with her. And there isn't even anything wrong with having gay or bisexual experiences.

    Don't tell her; and this is coming from a girl. First off, there are some things that should stay in the past. Secondly, we (women) dont need/want to know. Thirdly, it would be so embarrassing to the girls. They would feel mislead and foolish. Plus it would ruin your relationship.

      First, do you speak for all women on this world?
      Second, how is this embarrassing? Things happen.
      Thirdly, if THIS ruins a relationship, then it wasn't a serious one anyways... There is no reason to bitch about things that happened a long time ago.

    My current bf revealed to me about having a previous relationship with a transsexual. But like any past relationship, its in the past. You would have to determine wether your girl is open to that kind of conversation. And if you feel that she is not... then don't tell her. Just remember, what's usually done in the dark comes to the light.

    I personally wouldn't want to date someone with that history as it's too crazy for me BUT I'm sure there are some women who wouldn't care much at all.

    You just need to make sure you are HIV negative. Not to mention other STDs, barring that I don't think you have to tell any new girls about this. If one ever DID find out about it, just tell her that you felt as long as you were not going to harm her, that it was too embarassing to disclose.

    ADVICE: In the future, try to tell girls before getting into the dating phase so there's nothing to hide from there. If they date you knowing your past, then you'll know the type of person they are. Although, there's some risk to this, too.

    Either that, or wait until you fully trust your girlfriend and tell them.

    ANSWERS TO YOUR Q's: Normal to hide it since I'd be embarrassed about something like that, too. And personally, as long as I truly love the guy I'd accept him for it once the reality sinks in. Would probably be in shock at first, though.

      ADVICE: This is one of those things you DON'T tell a girl just after she has given you a blow job.
