I would not date/be involved with such a person.
I have before, never again.
I like some pretty weird shit and while I won't subject someone to something they don't want to see it's not going to keep me from owning and appreciating it.
I think pretty much every aspect of human sexuality is fascinating.
In regards to circus acts like Bug Eater I view them as kind of "a sight to behold" and not spank worthy porn.
When I meet a woman I don't say "hi, nice to meet you, you're gonna cream your panties over my collection of anal fisting videos". But if my porn (I like lots of rough non-porn stuff, too) is a deal breaker for her then she can fuck off. Same deal with my music collection (I have lots of bad, racist hardcore, violent misogynistic grindcore...). But if something that I find some value in or appreciate is a deal breaker for her then I guess it's a deal breaker.
I demand to feel comfortable being myself around a partner. If a DVD of some hard porn would be poisonous to a relationship then I'm not interested in getting involved.
I'm comfortable in my own skin and would not date a woman who had such hang-ups.
Plus, I have already seen and enjoyed the porn that would be offensive to her, it's not like I can scrub it from my brain or forget about what I was because she finds it distasteful.
Hope that made sense.
Also, my feelings do not involve getting mocked or teased about any go the things I enjoy. I'm sure any women likes stuff that I'll feel compelled to tease her about. She can go ahead and make fun of my all she wants.
I just wouldn't want to be with anyone who defines me through my possessions/tastes instead of how I behave.
