What to tell him and when

Revealing embarrassing details about your medical history or sexual health to a new dude is a daunting task – and for good reason. “Telling too much too soon can scare him off,” says Gall E. Wyatt, Ph.D., a sex therapist and professor of psychiatry at UCLA. So how do you decide what to fess up? “The depth of information you disclose and when you share it should be based on how serious the relationship is,” explains Wyatt, who suggests following these guidelines:

* Before having sex: You’re obliged to tell a guy you plan to sleep with if you have any sexually transmitted diseases – even if you intend to use condom. It’s also a good idea to give him a heads up about any sexual dysfunction you suffer from (such as an ability to produce natural lubricants) or physical differences you may have (such as an extra nipple or severe scarring). It takes guts to be upfront, but it could spare you both a lot of pain or embarrassment down the road.

* Before it becomes committed and exclusive: Now’s the time to divulge things that might interfere with the progression of your relationship: past sexual trauma, chronic fatigue syndrome, any incurable medical conditions – such as epilepsy or diabetes – or mental-health problems (bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression).

* Before you contemplate marriage: Your future husband is entitled to know about your reproductive health, if you’re aware of an inability to conceive children, and any family history of mental illness or health conditions that may be genetic.
