You may be surprised, most guys don't care/mind/whatever, some are actually turned on by it. (my hubby likes to hear some of my naughty stories) If he MUST know, then tell him. DO NOT LIE. That's never good, even if you don't see the two of you lasting as a couple. You have noting to gain by, just be honest.
