Because most men are horndog.

OP here. Thanks for all the responses. To answer some questions/speculations:

1) I fully intend to be up front with the people I meet. It's a huge part of my life so I wouldn't feel right keeping a secret like that from a friend/someone who is getting to know me. If that's not their cup of tea, then O.K.
2) Divorce has been filed. Absolutely no chance in hell of reconciliation. See point 5.
3) I have kids. I also assumed that it's a given to not introduce a date to your kids. I do not plan to introduce anyone I'm dating to my kids. That would be utterly foolish.
4) I have been told "don't do anything that would give someone the perception that sex was had."
5) The person I am divorcing is very mean-spirited and hateful. This is my biggest concern, and also why I will have extremely strict boundaries with myself.

Therapist I've been seeing ever since divorce was filed is in full support.

Thanks for your input. If anyone wants to share stories of how it went (good and bad), let's hear them!
