Just started dating a new man, who I was introduced to through work. None of my colleagues really know him as he works at a different site.
Anyway, things are going well and we have met up quite a few times and speak almost every day on the phone. He's a bit older than me, good looking, fun, intelligent, etc but I shall get to the point.
He comes across as someone who is an absolute expert the sack! This is a good thing, I know, but thing is, I am not. Well I don't think I am. Have had six partners in my life, three of them long term, but I just don't think I am going to be able to satisfy him as I don't feel as sexually experienced. I like sex, and have experimented with ex partners but not as much as he has and I think he knows this, but I am just worried that sleeping with him may put him off and ruin the chance of an otherwise great relationship. I have a tendency to come across as a bit shy when in a new relationship, then gain confidence and let go after a while.
Any experience of getting together with someone so much more experienced than yourselves, helpful mumsnetters? How did you not let lack of experience or confidence get in the way at first? Did it work out? Tips please as worried about taking it further! Verging on ending it as not wanting to embarrass myself ....!

He's so much more sexually experienced than me. Worried that will put him off.

maybe she just wants a shag.
precautions for your head though OP. mind condoms are harder to find that the other kind 
seriously try and take care of your feelings, i can't see it being wise to fall for this man.
Apologies haven't rtft, just wanted to add ..
Me and now dh, started off as fwb, and he seemed much more experienced than I. Before we got together, sex to me had always been a bit of an embarrassing meadeocre affair, but he talked about sex with me (something I was very embarrassed with at first). We spoke about likes and dislikes, things we wanted to try etc. it made for a much better sex life than anything I had had before! And 5 years on it's still bloody awesome!
(Sorry if this is a bit rambly, waay too much 
)
Totally agree experience can count for little and lack of many partners means even less.
Best sex I ever experienced was with a guy who'd only had one previous partner. He told me that before we DTD - not sure why, presumably to set my expectations not too high?
Not that that made any difference, I expected from just kissing him that it was going to be rather good and it turned out to be amazing 
What have I missed? 
Something exciting just happened didn't it?
