How to put things right after freaking out over sexual preferences

I met a guy before Christmas and things are going amazingly well. We saw each other four times before he went back to his job which is abroad. I booked flights to see him in February and am really excited. Different things which have been long absent with other guys and which I've considered really important are there with him.
We just had a bit of a hiccup this morning and I just want advice on how to ensure this doesn't become a big deal.
We are really attracted to each other and make jokes and talk about having sex when I come over to him which I really enjoy and I am as big a part of the flirting and teasing as he is.
He went out last night and I woke up this morning to texts about what he would like to do to me when I go to see him. Obviously I replied and he rang and we were talking about it and other General stuff aswell like our plans for the day etc.
The problem is that I got a bit freaked out when he asked me ny view on two things and maybe told him more than I should have. He asked what my view was on being slapped and also him cumming on my face.
I said they were an absolute no no and he said he would never slap me during it or any other time and he only asked about cumming on my face as he thought it would be nice to come on my chest and he would just like to know that if it went in that general area that I wouldn't be cross. That was fine and we continued our conversation about General things and we were in good mood when we hung up.
He texted then and said he hoped I didn't think he was a creep but he was really looking forward to it and doing the things we spoke about. I then got a bit freaked out and said that was fine apart from doing the things I said were no nos and I would be upset if he did.
Then I stupidly mentioned that how something not very nice happened me when I was young (abuse by a neighbour) and that's probably why I freaked out about those two things and I didn't know why but that it was my issue and I was sorry for going weird on him. We spoke on the phone again and he said it was grand and I wasn't to be worrying about anything. He never mentioned what I told him about the abuse and he said we would talk later.
I'm here second guessing myself that a) I shouldn't have told him about the abuse as It's my issue and he doesn't need to know and
b) that why did I get so freaked out and almost upset when he mentioned those two things, even though he reassured me he didn't want to do either of them but part of me is wondering why mention them.

What do I say later when he texts as I feel a bit awkward about things and I really really like him so don't want him to think he can never talk about that kind of stuff to me. How can I smooth things over because it was a bit awkward on the phone?

Lol. And they say romance is dead.

Maybe you should ask him, if he'd be cool with you punching him in the nuts or cumming in his eye?

Sorry, but this is too much too soon, imo. Doesn't sound like he has much respect for you.

Completely disagree. OP has clearly said he was asking opinions. He has been kind and respectful in other ways. Sexting is absolutely normal in the early days - I know I did it a lot in the first few weeks with my now DH - and that was 16 yrs ago !
You really like the guy. He is trying to gauge your sexual preferences and is clearly asking what you do and don't like. - which makes a difference with some of the stories on here where men think they can just 'assume' that you like stuff that you don't find a turn on.
Good for him. Asking is exactly what he should be doing. I do agree with one thing pp said though - slapping and ejaculating in your face IS one of his turn ons- and he was testing the water to see if you liked it too.
You have said no to slapping (in a consensual sexual relationship this is a pretty normal/bdsm activity and not even remotely related to DV) but ok to ejaculation on your chest.
Now he knows. There is no excuse for mistakes and IF it does happen you know there is intent to be disrespectful to your wishes which can't be brushed aside with 'I didn't know you didn't like it'. I actually think he sounds like a decent person.
Enjoy your trip OP.

Sorry for the triple post!

JaneEyre70 · 20/01/2018 18:10

Oh my goodness, you've met him 4 times? Please slow down - you're having a conversation with a guy you've met 4 times that took my DH and I several months to have - face to face. You need to establish trust and respect before you mark boundaries out like that.

As others have said, who said romance is dead. Others have commented they are ok with the facials, but I would suspect it's often in the context of longish term partner or DH. I know I'm 55 (but a young 55) but if I was on my own the idea of someone even discussing this before you even had sex would have me running for the hills, and I'm no prude

I would drop him.

KindDogsTail · 20/01/2018 18:58

I was sorry for going weird on him
You were not being weird, you were reacting instinctively to someone you know instinctively will not be all right.

He may really like you (I don’t see how he’d know on 4 meetings but the bj will have helped I don't think OP has given him a BJ, he was just thinking about it, so that's why he mentioned it.

TatianaLarina · 20/01/2018 19:10

He got an image of me giving him a bj (I've done that before)

I took ‘I’ve done that before’ to mean she’d already given him one.

NotTheFordType · 20/01/2018 20:22

Mumsnet is really not the place to ask about any sex-related questions apart from "Penis - does it go in vagina or AIBU?"

All you need to say to him is "I had a bad experience doing some stuff. I'd prefer not to talk about it right now."

If he tries to then talk about it then he's a cuntless wonder who needs a punch in the face to be finished with.
