Well...
I can't say I've had any romantic experience at all (except vicariously through novels). But in my opinion, part of the fun in a truly rewarding relationship is continuously learning new things about your partner.
That being said, I think not knowing things about your partner out of a fear of being hurt is just silly. To me, a successful relationship is one that's completely honest and open. Even if it turns out your lover actually killed your brother ten years ago in a drunken fistfight, it's something you should know. Deceit and hidden secrets only fester and never do any good.
