Partners with lots of history!!

ROTFLMAO 42 partners. Hilarious.

Generally, one should try to not think of the background story of one's partner. It's pointless and also quite painful in my opinion. In my current relationship my girlfriend has "been with" some of my friends previously, even. That's pretty hard to deal with to be honest, but the best thing to do is to think of the present and the future rather than the past since it can't be changed anyway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That is true. But it's very easy to get hung up on details which serves as little more than to make you depressed (of course I can only talk from experience). So while the past shouldn't be ignored (personally I'd stay away from anyone who has had 42 partners, regardless of age actually) it shouldn't be dwelled too deepily on either. :S

There's nowhere I can't reach.
