New boyfriend - physically incompatible?

I have recently started dating a wonderful man who I think might become a long termer. We've been taking it slowly for the last four months but I do really like him and he seems to be really into me.
We've slept together a handful of times. He told me first that he wasn't particularly big and I didn't think that would bother me as my 20 year ex was the same and it didn't bother me but....
I'm so damn insecure about this. My ex had MH issues and the last few years we were together, he told me that sleeping with me was like being with a prostitute as he thought I was really loose. I don't think that's true though I'm 50 not 20 but to now be with someone who is not very big is killing the sexual side of the relationship. I feel like I have to do kiegels mid act and I'm just not enjoying things because of my own insecurities. I'd really like to see where this relationship goes but I don't know what to do over this. Help! Do I tell him my issues?

Ps I'm speaking from experience after 3 kids back to back and then getting with a man who had no kids and also a smaller penis than I've ever had. It's now honestly the best sex I've ever had in my life after I got over my insecurities about being loose!

Ignore the ex. Forget him.

And get experimenting with your new guy. Google. Read books. Try new positions, techniques, toys etc.

Enjoy Wink

*My ex had MH issues and the last few years we were together, he told me that sleeping with me was like being with a prostitute as he thought I was really loose.

....My ex was pretty horrible because he developed a delusional disorder where he was convinced i was cheating on him with someone who had 'stretched' me. It was all in his mind but logic aside, it has still left awful emotional scars*.

Delusional disorder ... Yet you're taking what he said as valid/truthful, and letting it affect your sex life with your nice, new partner.

Have you had counselling, perhaps you should have more.

You're not particularly loose, you're not anything. Your ex is insane.

Your bed bf's relative smallness (Vs the average male) is a separate issue. It's up to you two to work out how to have enjoyable sex .. if you're not having enjoyable sex.

You being paranoid, based on the statements of a lunatic, that you're loose and trying to do kegels throughout is totally unnecessary and must be affecting your enjoyment (?)

Sandals19, you are completely correct and I know that he was wrong but it has still left me feeling insecure. The extent of his delusional disorder didn't become apparent until a lot of damage had already been done and it's a difficult thing to process. My ex was actually a bit smaller (I think) or it may have been because he struggled to keep it up a lot of the time, probably because of his delusions. It's just a difficult thing to get it of your head and I'm trying to work through it.
Thanks everyone for your supportive comments. I will happily persevere because he really is lovely and we have a lot in common.
