Did I (28F) had a first date with a psycho (38M)?

NSFW

Sorry for my English since it's my second language, and I'm writing in my phone. A week ago I (28F) had a first date with a guy (38M) from Tinder. Thinking about the conversation, how his house looked, and the date overall, I'm now wondering if this person is a psycho, or if it was a setup and I might have been recorded having sex which could ruin my life if it went public.

For some personal context, I'm a bit worried-panicked about meeting a weirdo or psycho, since this year I met one (an acquaintance that seemed nice, 'always said hi') who's actually now in jail, and I'd have never said he was a psycho since they're very integrated, and I really don't want to 'help' a psycho to understand social cues and blend in better.

About the date: we went to have brunch, we talked about our lifes, and he asked me about my dating life and expectations. We both prefer open relationships but aren't proactively looking for one. Then he brought up the topic of sex, and commented how he used to go to sex parties before his last monogamous relationship (~10 years ago), pronouncing this word 'sex' a bit too loud for my taste (given that we were in an open space with old ladies around us, maximum two tables from us). I was very weirded out by this 'antisocial' behavior (lack of awareness?).

However, we agreed to continue the date cooking at his house, we arrived and first talked for a while in his couch. He kept bringing up sex-related topics, which was a bit bizarre for me since it didn't seem to come up naturally but rather as a list he had in his head? or like a sex-obsessed? and he also kept making sometimes this weird horny face? I rubbed it off, thinking it might be because he's very experienced and has been experimenting more.

Then he asked me whether I wanted to cook, watch something, play video games, have sex, /other. I was hungry (not for food) so after a while we made out and he started masturbating me, then by my suggestion we went to his bed where we were around 1 or 2 hours (he ended up quite tired and not coming).

I remember there was almost no light at his room, just the dim light from the living room (enough to see, but also I'm now worried since I think there are cameras that can record high quality with little light?). Afterwards he cooked for both of us and we ate while chatting. He had an interesting conversation and is as smart as you would expect from someone in his position (although I don't really have proof of where he works, aside of his flat being in the richest part of a wealthy city).


A list of details I remember from the conversations we had, and about his flat:

  • When I told him about this psycho-acquaintance I met, I said something like 'you know what people say about psychos, he was nice and gave no signs'. He didn't get what I said and asked what people said about psychos, he was during all the conversation maintaining good normal eye contact, but here he looked away and I explained again 'They say they were nice and always said hi', to which he chuckled in a strange way and went back to normal eye contact afterwards

  • He is/has been a master for subs but also enjoys vanilla sex, and his latest sex partner was some months ago

  • Sometimes has sex with a friend of his, who's married (I didn't ask, he just mentioned it)

  • Some boundaries he had for some very weird practices (I didn't ask, he just mentioned it)

  • He mentioned he had dated some women that wanted him because he is experienced

  • A story about a married couple he knew that recorded home made porn with third persons then exchanged the vids between them

  • If I had ever recorded a sex video, and how he can't do that without enough trust because he has an important position at a public institution (again, he just brought up the topic)

  • He asked me about my fantasies, and he made a weird horny face when I talked about a possible fantasy (not necessarily involving him) and asked more details, which I denied, and he immediately dropped the topic (and the weird face)

  • He asked me why I didn't date people from my gym, that he had heard there's a culture of hookup and knows people who propose others to fuck their spouse (since people are fit there)

  • Also asked why I wasn't fully 'convinced'/satisfied with my other sex-partner (another guy from tinder who I've met twice and is very sweet), mentioning if it was because of his 'size' which I answered that connection is more important to me, he was strangely interested in what I meant by 'connection' (the weird horny face again) but dropped the issue when I stated it was an intuition and I couldn't find words to describe it (horny-face immediately gone).

  • And he also made this weird face while I sat on his lap and he kind of humped me (with clothes) which I found super weird.

So none of this topics is really a red flag per se for being a psycho but it was more the face he made sometimes and also how forced some topics were at some moments. About his flat:

  • I went to the toilet and his mirror on top of the sink was open, and I saw creams and stuff but everything was perfectly aligned and clean. Wished I had taken a pic, because it was very unnaturally weird.

  • His flat didn't look like someone 'living' there, his fridge was also very organised, his kitchen and everything perfectly clean, his jackets perfectly hung in his clothes rack.

  • He didn't have any art or pictures in his living room, from him or his friends or literally anything, and he had been living there for three years and in his job for six (and he surely makes a great deal of money and he could decorate how he wants), it was just the TV and the speakers, perfectly aligned as well. When I asked him about decorations he said he had been wanting to purchase some art, but it's strange he didn't mention intentions of putting friends or family pics. I asked him and he rubbed it off.

This is also in contrast to my other 'partner', who does have some pics with friends, his flat looks more human, and told me he has been wanting to hang more pics and has postponed further decorating his flat but was looking forward to it.

  • There was a door resting in one of the walls of the living room, that must have been the one for his bedroom (there was no door there) and there were different necklaces hanging from its knob.

Also, I also think it's a possibility that he's so considerate in regards of consent and boundaries because he doesn't want to get in trouble rather than for empathy, although it did seem a turn on for him to think about his partner being turned on/enjoying themselves.


So am I being paranoid, or are there actual signs that he's some weirdo/psycho?

TLDR: he kept bringing up sex-related topics in an unnatural way, made weird faces with certain topics. Could he be pretending to be normal and worried about boundaries/consent (but is actually weird) or does he sound actually normal?
