OP's out there on first dates asking if they have a problem with him doing it...

I can't imagine women are bringing it up

Not necessarily first dates. I just answer truthfully when the topic comes up. I don't want to have it be a problem further down the line

I just answer truthfully when the topic comes up

It's just really hard to believe a women asks if you've had sex with a sex worker...

Most people don't ask for numbers, let alone details.

It has unfortunately come up before, hence my aprehension in approaching the topic.

Seems like you got the intended consequence. If you want to be honest and your partner can't handle that honesty, maybe it is better to keep looking. I have a very hard time maintaining lies to continue relationships, and as a result I have very few, but incredibly high-quality friends.
