Is it permissible, Islamically, for a man to ask a woman about her sexual nature before marrying her, especially in an Arab society that rejects discussing such matters?

It is not permissible to discuss matters of sex and intimacy with a non- woman before the marriage contract, even after engagement. Such discussions lead to fitnah (temptation) and arouse desires. If it is permissible to speak with her for a need, with lawful Islamic controls, then it is all the more forbidden to discuss sexual matters, for which there is no need.
