Kelly Rowland Thinks You Should Ask Your Sexual Partners About 'Past Gay' Experiences

If there's an immediate connection between you and a guy, you'll likely do everything in your power to impress him, right? You'll look your best, smell your best, and say all of the right things. You might even start planning your future wedding---all before the second date. 

Hey, we're not judging you for being enthusiastically proactive. Today's dating scene is competitive and fast-paced. If you don't lock him down, someone else will. With that said, locking a guy down, as quickly as possible, can prevent you from actually getting to know him.   

"There are some women who are not finding the real truth about their partner’s sexuality until they go through their man’s phones...But it happens with guys too, not just women. I can’t tell someone how to feel about dating someone who is bisexual or had a past gay experience, but it’s proper to ask in today’s times," Kelly Rowland said, while promoting her recent lifetime movie, "Love By The 10th Date."

There are men who enjoy sexual relationships with other men, but hide their behavior from the women in their lives. In other words, these men are on the "down-low." Which brings us to this question: Would you want to know if the guy you're seeing was on the "down-low?" Yeah? That's why you have to straight up ask him!

We agree with Rowland, we think you should know as much information as possible about the man you're sleeping with. However, not everyone liked what Rowland said. 

"Knowing a little bit about your partner’s sexual history, like when they were last screened for STDs or their safe-sex practices, is important. But one's judgement of that sexual history is not and should not be dictated by the gender of anyone’s former partners. Bisexual people are not a risk or a liability, nor should we be treated as enigmas by the straight world," sad Sesali Bowen, writer at Refiner 29.Kelly Rowland's statement isn't making a judgment about someone's past and current lifestyle. Her point is that we all have a right to decide, for ourselves, what kind of relationship we want to have, and with whom we want to share our time---and our bodies with. Some people are fine with open relationships and bisexual partners, while others are not. Withholding this information denies the other person the ability to make an informed decision. If you are not comfortable having this conversation with the guy in your life, maybe it isn't time to take your relationship to the next level.
