In relationships, guys lie. They're protecting themselves from some truth or they're protecting you from some truth, but you may never really know which and you may never understand. Meanwhile, guys lie. It's almost genetic. Sorry to admit it, but there it is.
Remember the adage "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see." Oh my gosh how helpful that can be!
Ask a guy "why" questions and you're virtually begging for a semi-truthful answer.
So, after all that, I'd agree that he lied because it protected him from you thinking him immature. It's a false fear, probably, but there it is.
When dating, believe HALF of what you see a guy do. His character will be revealed slowly over time by his actions. If he acts innocent and inexperienced for a LONG time, then that's probably what he is, regardless of what he says. You can figure this out.
Even if he's had some sexual experiences, he may still be ultimately almost virginal. Does this help? Probably not. See, "why" is only really effective in understanding feminine motivations/relations. Even knowing all this doesn't help with a guy, you still have to sit back for six months and just WATCH to get the truth.
So relax, and consider not putting sexual stuff into your relationship. It's not actually required.
