Being out doesn't mean that everyone needs to know everything, because some interactions with people just aren't that sort of information.
I mean, (to paraphrase what serenejournal wrote on the topic), I don't go out and buy a gallon of milk and say at the counter, "By the way, I'm poly and pagan and . . .!" The person who's selling me the milk and I don't have a relationship where we need to know that sort of thing. We have a relationship where I need to know if they have milk and they need to know if I have three bucks.
I mean, personally, I can't imagine many situations where it would be appropriate or relevant to bring up having a sexual relationship with one's god. I mean, I could see it in an in-depth discussion of practice of Feri or in a deep sharing-of-intimacies context between individual people, or in an occasional brain-blat journal entry for those folks who talk about their sex lives in their LJs. Y'know?
Or if you and/or Rob were in a position in your open relationship that there was someone new you wanted to marry, someone who might move in with you, or whatever -- there's a point at which simple dealing with day-to-day life just plain contains that information, y'know?
