Hey, SweetAsCandy. Well, I will start here by asking you some questions.
How do YOU feel about the relationship in question? Do you feel that the relationship is about the sex or about you having romantic feelings for the other person?
How do you perceive the other person in regards to their view of the relationship?
Have you and this other person negotiated what you individually want in this relationship? In other words, have both of you agreed to have a relationship for the purpose of having sex or because you have feelings for each other?

Okay. Just checking if I'm getting you right over here. So your bf has specifically stated that he has feelings for you, and has also implied through his actions that he would like to have sex with you as well. Is that right?
You did not state that your bf said/did anything that has led you to believe that he will "lose" feelings for you after sex. Have you told him about your worries?
None of us here can predict what your bf will or won't do, to be honest. The only way to know for sure is to bring up your concerns to him and have him address them one by one. Because, from the sound of it, he has not said/done anything that would've given you the indication that he wants to have only a one-time sexual encounter with you, and then end the relationship.
So what do you think about sitting down and talking to him regarding these concerns/worries/anxieties that you have?

I think that it's definitely a good idea to tell your bf about your worries in the context of your last relationship. It doesn't sound stupid to me at all. Rather, it makes perfect sense why you would feel the way you do, now that you've disclosed to me the reason for your worries. And I think that your bf would understand too. If you want, you could request him to refrain from engaging in any sexual activity with you until you no longer worry/feel comfortable enough to engage in sexual activities without anxieties of this kind. You certainly have a right to refrain from having sex with a partner if you do not feel fully ready to/do not want to/have worries. Do you think that would help?
