I cant imagine a man having an issue with how well you perform, only if he happens to be insecure and in that case you may want to keep on looking, if you are not going to to mention your past you could simply say that you were in a long relationship and therefore did alot of experimenting to keep it fresh.

Keeping track of the truth is tough enough
Speaking only from my own experience, early on, beyond "Divorced or Never Married?" and "Kids?" there is little if any discussion of prior SOs or lovers. It is pretty much taken for granted that by the time you've reached your late 20's that you've dated around a little bit & probably had multiple sexual partners. In fact I think digging for details about sexual history is viewed is a little taboo.
One thing you (Nicole) may want to give some thought to is your life story. Where did you go to school? Where are you from? Where did you live? What kind of work do you do? These topics seem to be less taboo and the kinds of things potential mates might talk about over dinner or drinks.
