Although I Am completely unable to give practical advice on this particular situation (due to a lifetime of figuratively shitting the bed in relationships), I did want you to know your comment has been read and I hope the best for you.

If you want to date other people (and still date your current boyfriend), tell your boyfriend and let him decide whether or not he wants to be in a non-monogamous relationship with you. If you don’t want to continue seeing him, break up with him. Pretty simple.

Tell him. Keeping a big part of yourself secret from a partner is generally a bad idea. If he’s cool you can scope out girls together. And if he’s not cool you don’t want to be with a dude who doesn’t like you for what you really are. Plus I really don’t know many dudes who would be bothered by it. Five of my friends…

Whenever you tell him, he’s apt to be surprised. Might as well tell him at a good time for him to be surprised (and a good time to tell him it doesn’t make him any less loved/desired by you). But I’d think you should tell him.

From Exciting Personal Experience, keep it to yourself unless you are 100% sure your boyfriend is cool with it (if you are not currently in a relationship I think it’s cool to bring it up early on, just, it seems to startle people when sexual attraction evolves) but (this is the personal experience part) don’t lie…

I told my ex-boyfriend. It strengthened that relationship, he totally loved it and we watched girl on girl porn together and it kicked up our sex life since we could both talk about girls we found attractive. The way I told him was every once and a while I would say, she’s really cute! That girl is attractive etc.…

I would say it’s probably best if you’re pretty open about it. However, I do sometimes wish I had told my husband a lot less about my past with girls because it bothers him a lot more than I thought it would and I just end up trying to downplay everything. Which I know is his problem, not mine, but still.
