I think if it affects the relationship, then it might be a good idea to at least tell them the broad strokes so they understand what's going on. For example, when me and my (now ex) started dating, I completely froze the first time he tried to initiate sex. Like I couldn't move or talk at all for a couple seconds. I wound up having to tell him a little about my trauma so he understood my reaction. After that, things moved more smoothly because he understood what we were dealing with, and I felt better because he knew
If you're dating someone, I would think that you would eventually need to tell them. Maybe not immediately, and only when you are comfortable. It is best to be open with the things that affect you in a relationship, past trauma can affect a person, and if the person you are dating truly cares about you, the fact that you opened up should strengthen your bond.
