It isn't about adult choice its about honesty. Would you engage in sexual intercourse if it was stated right up front that the episode was pure recreational and the pairing will dissolve immediately afterwards?
I think nobody would honestly say yes given those terms because you cannot abstract sex. The risk of pregnancy and the responsibility that comes with it, no matter how slight, plays in the background of your thoughts. I never met a person that engaged in sex without SOME emotional component, unless they where buying a hooker.
Its that emotional component that seeds the moral question.

In a way I see what you mean. But, since the thread is about sexual "history" then your point is rather irrelevant.
A person may be all about the intimacy and love that makes sex wonderful; but you're saying that their history, which may have included some impetuous fancies of youth, should come into play in current relationships. Following up with that, that person who may have had some (delicious) youthful indiscretion, cannot be honest about it because this new person (who may be fulfilling in every other way) can't handle that truth.
We grow. We grow. We grow. The point isn't "where have you been?" The point is "where are you now?"
