Paris Hilton's dating history.

Paris Hilton revealed she thought she might be asexual before meeting her now-husband, Carter Reum.

The reality television star opened up about her sexuality and said in her 20s, she started to think of herself "privately" as asexual due to traumatizing sexual experiences. 

"I was known as a sex symbol, but anything sexual terrified me," Hilton confessed during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Hilton said her past awful, sexual experiences contributed to her fears.

In her 2020 documentary, "This Is Paris," she discussed the abuse she had suffered when she was younger, saying it had occurred at boarding schools that promised to reform troubled teens. 

She also will let her walls down in her upcoming book, "Paris: The Memoir." She writes about being groomed by a male teacher when she was in middle school, according to Harper’s Bazaar.

Hilton also dealt with a sex tape of her being released in 2004, against her will.

"I just feel like after all the hell I’ve been through, I’m finally getting what I deserve, which is someone I can trust and someone to build a real life with," Hilton told the outlet.
