promiscuous past

I have a very promiscuous past and regret all of it. I slept around for a while to numb feelings of loneliness, worthlessness, etc. It’s made my life so much more difficult in many aspects. I’m always upfront with potential romantic partners (not sexual) about this and the majority of them are disgusted and want nothing to do with me, make comments, call me names, etc. They have also felt concerned about my capacity to feel emotion and not cheat. I understand all of it, and I take responsibility for everything I’ve been a part of, but is it really normal or fair to hate someone because of their sexual past? I know I’m a loving partner and I’m incredibly loyal. I’m honest and upfront. It’s just much harder to find someone when so many men have this preconceived idea that women with a high “body count” are liars, cheaters, low value, etc. I just want to feel like I can be forgiven, choose purity, and move on with a good partner. No judgment or rude comments.
