I definitely agree that talking to him before you have sex is a good idea. He may be upset, but that will be because he cares about you and it's hard to know that someone you care about hurts themselves. Despite being upset, I think he will appreciate the fact that you were able to be honest with him: it shows you trust him and that's really important in a relationship. If you think he will have trouble understanding, then perhaps you could print some info off of the site to help explain what SI is a little bit more?
Good luck with this, I know it's really hard to open up sometimes and I think you're really brave for wanting to get this out in the open with him
