no I would not. If that makes me close-minded then so be it. I wouldn't date anyone that collected a large collection of anything. It would make me wonder how well they manage their money.

In some cases it would be indicative of financial brilliance. From Hotwheels to baseball cards, collecting can value in the millions if you know what you are looking for. I'm no expert on the subject at hand, but OP can probably place an estimated value of her collection with $500 dollars, and with 4,000+ items it wouldn't surprise me if that number was pretty high.
OP, I think every man would be shocked to stumble in your room and see the collection.
Unless it was already known that you own a porn studio or sex toy store. Otherwise a big collection like that would be a shock , good surprise to some bad surprise to others ...
Basically just this: I'm an attractive woman and I collect sex toys and condoms. It's a hobby of mine and I've been at it for years. I have over 4,200 condoms of all shapes, sizes, kinds, varieties (some historic).. hundreds of sex toys of all strange varieties for both males and females. And to be honest, I haven't even used half of them on anyone besides myself. I collect them...
Recently I invited a man over that I've been dating for awhile over Valentine's weekend and he discovered the room where I keep my collections while he was on the hunt for the bathroom. He nearly had a panic attack and I had to calm him down and re-assure him I collected them, doesn't mean I use them on everyone.. etc etc..
Anyway, he is still in shock over my hidden hobby. Would you be okay with a woman you're dating having more sex toys and condoms than you? Would it make you uncomfortable to discover this? I don't see how it's such a big deal.. Help me understand why a man would panic over this..
Would it have been more acceptable if I was a man instead of a female? Does being a woman make a guy automatically assume that I wouldn't have a hobby that's sex related?
No, it wouldn't bother me at all. People collect all kinds of things that others consider to be a foolish waste of money. I'd ask you what got you interested in the subject, how you acquired items, what your oldest items were, your best finds, etc. People collect matchbooks, airplane barf bags, cigarettes, beer cans, etc., etc. It is history.
