One of the recipes of a successful marriage is openness. Each of the partners has a responsible opening up about his or her past life experiences. Most couples share their past experiences but they rarely talk about the sex-related issues, which is not supposed to be the case.
A successful marriage is one in which each of the partner's secrets is shared with fear. It does not hurt telling your man the number of men you have dated or slept with once you settle down with him or her. Most of us do not find it necessary only for the same to the surface at the later stages of life.
First and foremost, sharing your past sexual experience with your partner boosts trust. Your partner will feel that you trust him or her if you break silence on your past love life. Remember you can use the past experiences to build upon the future.
Secondly, sharing your past sexual encounters breaks intimacy barriers. If there are certain things he feels like you were hiding from him or her then he or she will change her mind. Your partner will have more reasons to love if you are free to him.
Thirdly, sharing your love life with him or her reduces cases of infidelity. The two of you will understand the reasons why your past relationships never worked so that you can work on the same right from the word go. It is, therefore, wise to share your story with him or her if you care about your love life.
