I saw this sentence in a website:

Each time you sleep with someone, you also sleep with his past.

What is the 'past' mentioned here?

Best Answer

We'd have to see the context to know for sure, but I strongly suspect it's referring to the idea that you're sleeping with all of your partner's past sexual partners. Particularly, you risk being exposed to any sexually-transmitted diseases that your partner may have been exposed to.
