Yeah, I think the tone of the "What?" is probably key here. If you're confused rather than horrified, keeping your tone to an "um, I never tried that... how's that work?" sort of "What?" is probably kinder than an "OMG GROSS!" sort of "What?!?"
And if you ARE horrified, but not to the point of wanting to boot your partner out of bed, it's an even better idea to practice saying "no, I'm not into that" in a calm and non-freaked-out tone.
If you DO want to kick someone out of bed for a request they make, a horrified tone and whatever physical steps are necessary to get the guy OFF you are totally warranted.
