But we're not talking about monogamy. In monogamy there should be a presumption of intimacy that makes it acceptable to expect a certain amount of transparency in general and sexual history would just fall under that.

If both of you are dating other people at the same time then it's important to let them know THAT, and you can just assume that they're sleeping around as well. And if the relationship is open like that, concerns about STD's, pregnancies, etc should be at the forefront.

But why shouldn't this include random hookups? You can get AIDS from a one night stand the same as you can from a regular sexual relationship.
