DH is bi and wants to hook up with a man

Name changed owing to the risk of being outed. Dh is bi (as am I). We have been swingers in the past - and mostly enjoyed it. Sadly I was not supportive of DH exploring his sexuality with men (on reflection motivated by the misplaced and judgemental idea he would be less of a man if he has sex with a man - I feel ashamed for thinking this now). This morning we had a big conversation about his desires. In a nutshell -

  1. He wants me to explore my sexuality with other couples (again) and come home and tell him (he would find this arousing).
  2. He wants to have a hook up with a man and asked for my blessing.

Part of me wants to support his sexual exploration the other part of me is scared that I'm opening a Pandora's box that I will never be able to close again. I'm also worried about his safety, that's he's entering a world he knows nothing about (never been with a man).

Wtf do I do? I can't talk to anyone in real life about this, so interested in hopefully a spectrum of ideas.

How is it the kids problem if they overhear? You are two adults and it's up to you to make sure your children aren't subjected to these conversations. Your sex lives seem more important to you than your own children and its disgusting.

Not the kids overhearing, the next table.
