For my wife and I we had very similar life experiences. We both had spent or late teens though early 20’s experimenting and both realized what we like and didn’t. By the time we got together we both had a very clear understanding of our own selves and our boundaries. I remember one of the early conversations we had when we started dating was the two of us laying out what we needed to be comfortable in a relationship and what was out side our boundaries. We both were looking for similar things so happily it worked out.
As for common interests I would say that is about 50/50 we have many interests in common but many things that our just our own. For us it is important that we have parts of our lives that are for ourselves. Not that they are secret in fact it is this things that we spent much of our time talking about.
As for the sex side having both experimented we have continued to explore the avenues that we enjoy and that part of are life has only gotten better.
Not to be trite but for us it is all about communication, from the start we have been completely open with each other and that more then anything is the underpinning of our relationship.
