<human>: 21yo female here. I got out of a long term relationship a couple months ago and since have been seeing a new guy (22). Things are going well so far but things are starting to get serious and I am worried he is going to ask how many people I have been with sexually.

It was always a touchy subject with my ex as he did not like my number. I have slept with what most people would consider a large number of people, and though I don't personally care about how many people any one has been with I know some people have a certain view on women who have been with a lot of people. 

I am wondering if he asks, if I should tell him it's none of his buisiness? Tell him the truth, or lie? I don't like the idea of lieing about anything, but my ex made a huge deal about it and said he wished I had of told him something less than the truth. 

Any advice on what I should do?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Seeing a new guy and want to know if I should share the honest truth of the amount of people I have slept with as it is what most people would consider a higher number.
