You can tell your new man things to make him feel special without bringing up the ex. Tell him how great he is, how wonderful he makes you feel, how it feels so good to be with him, how nice it is to be with a gentleman, etc, etc.

Leave your ex in the past where he belongs. Your new boyfriend just needs to know you care for him. He doesn't need to hear about the ex at all.

I generally try and stay away from every type of comparisons with ex boyfriends.
Men's brains are very strange and no matter what you say, he's going to not like it.
If you say he's better in bed then he's going to wonder if your previous bloke was bigger and therefore painful, and wonder if you are still thinking about him since you are mentioning it.
There is no limit to the paranoia that lurks behind their eyes.
It's generally just better to say "You make me so happy." rather than "you make me happier than my ex did."
Just keep the ex out of the equation.
Good Luck!! xx
