My experience, anecdotal as it may be, involves friends, family, and self, as well as in church positions, and includes legal consultations.
I never said, if asked, one should lie. I don't believe that. If asked by a spouse or potential spouse, one should be honest. However, limited to my experience, those that ask, do so for less than honorable reasons. Upon further reflection, if a female asked, I would answer honestly and dismiss her as a potential mate. The vast majority of my experience is, if somebody asks about that stuff, then they probably will use it against you. Women get special treatment in that department. For amusment, we might start a double standards discussion.

My own experience, fwiw:
I don't have any. Frankly, it never occured to me to ask. And she never asked me.

Isn't this a strange thread?
In any other industrialized society, dudes would be saying, I wouldn't want to marry a virgin, remember how lousy the sex was. We are a weird sort. We worry about disclosing something which the remainder of contemporary society considers a right of passage at fourteen or fifteen. For reasons which are irrelevant here and not as the result of my inquiry, a client was discussing her past more than I wanted. She disclosed that she had waited until she was seventeen, the last of her classmates. Apparently after losing it, she worked hard to catch up with her classmates. Here's a question. How many of your colleagues have committed adultery. In my neck of the woods, it's about fifty percent. Among active LDS, it's probably 10 to 20 percent, an abomination, but lower than most other couples.

It is an interesting point about the motivation to know, though. You would hope that the person that you chose to marry wouldn't be that way but that's not always how it works out.
