First, commit all the sexual sins, and live a wild life. Reach half way through life, kinda seems boring at this point. That’s when they turn to the church, a few tears and wallah! They are born again virgins again!

As you say, if couples wish to talk about these things, they’re (obviously) free to do so. But, personally, I wish to forget the ‘sins of my youth’ (my unconverted days), and am thankful that I wasn’t obligated to speak of them to anyone ….

Given that my husband knew me through all my teen years, there’s not much about me he doesn’t know, but I’m thankful he didn’t feel any need to bring up sins that were, by then, covered by the righteousness of Christ. Our sins of youth cause us anguish enough – more as I get older. I wish to speak of them, though, to no one, but the One who knows anyway.

Paul Maxwell explores the ‘How to?’ of this in You Are Not Damaged Goods: On Dating with a Sexual History, but he doesn’t deal with the ‘Should you?’ He gives good advice for couples who decide to have this conversation, but simply assumes that they will have it. But should they?” […]

I agree with everything you said, and I would also add “a clear conscience” as good reason for confession. This post reminds me of a conversation I had with a single Christian guy. “I could never marry a girl who’s not a virgin,” he said. “That’s my one stipulation.” This is hypocritical and ridiculous for obvious reasons. So we need to prepare Christians not just for having these conversations (if they even do), but also prepare hearts to give grace when they do.

I would add though that if full disclosure is felt necessary, there should be discretion as to details. This is especially pertinent if one party has been promiscuous and the other hasn’t. Full detailed disclosure can set up a scenario where the other spouse can feel sexually inadequate. Especially if he/she has a low self esteem.
