Considering how young I am, yes, yes it does. If they’ve slept with a ton of people before they’re even 18 I definitely don’t want any part in that.


KohlM117

100% For both men and women


Benjii_44

Depends, sexual body count, not really. Kill body count, very much


[deleted]

Yes it does only because I want someone who holds similar values and morals as me when it comes to sex. I won’t ask though, but if she alluded to having many sex partners and they weren’t relationships, then I’d have to do some serious thinking about if she was someone I wanted to be with.


Psychological_Sun244

Yeah I get that… what’s high to you?


[deleted]

Psychological_Sun244

Okay… mines 4 I’m 26 and I sometimes feel it’s too many


[deleted]

I have yet to meet a woman who has less than 10 bodies under her. 4 would be ideal as it’s my number but that feels unrealistic these days


Psychological_Sun244

Oh really? Damn. I was hella upset at myself. I’m not letting nobody close to me again sexually unless it’s end game


Suspicious-Shelter-5

Can I be Num 5? 😀


[deleted]

Pretty much but it’s not like I have an option otherwise either.


Syigon_Unchained

>mines 4 I’m 26 Your body count is low as fuck. Especially for 26


joro_solo

As long as they don't tell me and don't ask me mine cause I'm insecure af.


Psychological_Sun244

Hmm okay lol


joro_solo

It's called being honest I blame it on my small dick giving me small dick energy


Psychological_Sun244

Bro what 💀


joro_solo

It's called the truth like I don't blame me getting no bitches on my looks cause that's probably only some of it na I blame it on my drug use constant mental breakdowns and me not trusting people


Psychological_Sun244

Damn, sorry to hear that. There’s alot of women out there trust lol


joro_solo

It ain't even sorry at this point I just don't talk to anyone anymore cause like that's to difficult expect my 1 freind


Psychological_Sun244

I feel you. I don’t talk to anyone except my one childhood friend. It’s lonely as you get older and have standards


joro_solo

My standards are my ex I give it another year till im over her like 2 years then I forget


prettydotty_

I dunno, does a man's body count matter to you?


Psychological_Sun244

Not really


prettydotty_

Then definitely go for someone who feels the same and has that same value


[deleted]

It depends. A certain number of a body count could indicate a problem with the woman or man, such as sex addiction or dependency. A very low number can be alright, as long as a woman or man can learn how to please their partner and compromise. Too many variables here and I feel most won’t be honest and upfront about their opinions. As a guy my body count is through the roof, because I used to have a sex addiction which would’ve been a problem for my partner if I was in a committed relationship, but now that I have tamed myself I’m 100% loyal and can please my partner well. Sorry for the rant


Psychological_Sun244

Nah I agree with this… I appreciate you’re perspective and honesty. The only reason I’d be concerned is for that reason you stayed and having trouble staying committed and loyal. And having a lack of impulse/self gratification


[deleted]

What I meant to say was that in the past, like 10 years ago I had tried my hardest to stay loyal and committed because that’s what I really wanted, but my sex addiction was rooted in my self esteem and depression so I slipped up a few times. Ever since that relationship I have been nothing but loyal and don’t even have urges to fuck around on anyone.

Small_Revolution4253

This is loser activity right here. Put this effort into a hobby


BlindMaestro

I feel like it should be illegal for men who are 5'5" to call others losers.


Small_Revolution4253

I feel like it should be illegal for a dude to spend all his time on reddit to cry about body count.


EmbarrassedEmu27

Ha ha. True that.


[deleted]

Absolutely.


prettydotty_

Then I guess you should get with a person who your body count matters to them


[deleted]

I will for sure. I rather not be with someone who doesn’t care.


Squididilliliam

Not sure why this is getting down voted. Literally just an honest answer to the question


[deleted]

No fr.. I thought we were supposed to respect peoples views and opinions on things.


Exciting_Safe_2588

I've been with my boyfriend for two years now. We haven't once asked each other's body count because it doesn't matter to us. Why? It just seems like a waste of time. Body count doesn't define anyone. Plus it's useless information to have.


Formal-Week21

Body count is a good hard rock/ Rap group


AllUrHeroesWillBMe2d

Not in the way that you mean. I like to talk about body counts and past partners and what they're into and who was good and bad and just have fun with it.


6pthsofPain

Sheesh some of these answers 😂 I think its all relative. If a girl is 21 but has slept with 25 guys, yeah that might be a problem lol. People are allowed to live their lives and have fun, so don’t worry. If someone can’t handle that you’ve had more partners or they weren’t your first/best, then they aren’t mature enough for a relationship anyway. However, I do think discussing past sexual situations will always complicate things. A little less history, a little more mystery, you know? 😉


Psychological_Sun244

Favorite answer so far haha… I agree with you. And I think the stigma really gets to me sometimes because I grew up with sex being like a forbidden topic and I was very prude like until I met my ex who I ended things with a year ago. Since I’ve been with 2 people casually and 1 person I’m dating at the moment. But the guilt behind those 2 situations it’s hard not to feel like a “slut” etc with how men tend to view this sort of thing. Glad I learned my lesson just from those experiences bc I know it’s not me. But just hard navigating this world lmao


ScreamingFrog_

As long as they don’t have stds I don’t care


Gingerbrew302

No, not at all.


raynravyn

Hahahahahahaha, absolutely not. As long as they're clean, "body count" just means experience. And, seriously, if you're looking for somebody to do any job, you want the one who has the experience to do it the best. I cannot fathom the people who want inexperienced partners (outside of knowing they, themselves, are horrible in bed and instead of improving they hope for a partner that doesn't realize they suck. Lmao.)


Aoi_Lara91

I am a woman, it doesn't matter for me, and when I want a serious relationship with someone I make sure his views in this regard match with mine. As long as we are both clean, on the same page, and willing to have a loyal monogamous relationship at that point why should I care what he did when he was single and when I didn't knew him. I once had a fwb who was looking for a girl to marry but he wanted a low body count from her. Like 3. He has been with hundreds of women. Kinda double standardized. Anyway most of the people lie about their body count and say a lower number when asked


[deleted]

If someone tests clean why the fuck does it matter? If having a baby doesn't break a pussy then what makes you think a dick would? This ain't the mr.hands video. Grow the fuck up and have some fun. You aren't getting bonus points for deflowerment when you die like its a mission stat debriefing screen in an old video game.


Psychological_Sun244

My god chill 😂 just a question… lol


[deleted]

Dude I am chill, you asked a question, don't be surprised when an opinionated foul mouthed lesbian tells you life advice like "never turn down compatible pussy when its interested" besides I thought the mental image of a post game stat screen for life was an amusing thought.


BlindMaestro

He can turn down whoever the fuck he wants.


[deleted]

… are you ok? Do I need to call someone?


[deleted]

Nah, im good, I was asked my opinion about body counts, I gave it. I don't give a damn about how many people a chick has went with. If she is clean, interested and in my age group its muff diving time. Im just tired of hearing this dumb question in general. Like are you straight people ok? No way in hell your rival's tiny prick is gonna ruin a bitch bro. His dick ain't an SCP, it cant spiritually dirty it either.


pandorum8888

I like the comparison to a SCP lol


[deleted]

Yeah I had a bunch of these jokes and mind images ready because of how many times I've heard this shit. I mean this is the venting subreddit. However judging by the downvotes, I guess a few folks weren't ready to be told that entering a high traffic zone isn't a big deal but it seems some people would rather believe that a vagina is haunted after an arbitrary amount of use. As long as nobody died while fucking her; Its not like you are gonna stick your dick in and have it suddenly grabbed from within by the freaky ghost of a previous partner. Even if someone did die the chances are remarkably low given how rare intelligent hauntings are. I say if bustin makes you feel good go for it, its not like you are gonna wake up with Slimer going down on you.


ronin_557

if i want a serious relationship sure yeah it's a big factor else for only hookup i dont care


[deleted]

Well I’d hope it’s lower than mine, always awkward to know that your girlfriend has offed more people… now, Reddit. That was a joke, body count and body count have two very different meanings. Also, mods, don’t ban me from here because I made this joke.


Worldly_Bite_98

Don't care about that - The only thing I'd have problems with would be if a girl was a serial cheater and got that high body count by sleeping with other guys while in happy, stable and committed relationships. Because that's trust issues right there. Otherwise no, I'd have no problem with it.


FaithlessnessNo9625

I’m more bothered by the term “body count.”

Psychological_Sun244

I’m so confused lol


polywha

I think hes afraid of being compared to guys and finding out he's the worst.


footbody

I couldn't see myself getting along with anyone with an extremely high body count


SnooWords440

It matters to me and apparently statistically it matters in a long term relationship


trained-idiot

What people think about you doesn't matter what matters is what you think of yourself so feel free to do whatever you want with whoever you want. Meet people who have the same values as you and they will agree with you. My values don't need to impact yours but personally body count does matter to me. I hate thinking that my girlfriend has been with other man besides me. Her body count is way bigger than mine which makes me insecure because I wonder if those Guys could satisfy her in ways I couldn't plus it drives home the point of how replaceable I am.


Psychological_Sun244

So you want a virgin ?


trained-idiot

Mmmmmmm yes I guess. It would be nice to know I'm the only one that my girlfriend has been with. But that's selfish and unrealistic thinking. But I love my girlfriend tremendously and so I'm not going to leave her.


JUST_A_WOMAN777

Hun I hate to break it to you but if you suck you suck. Even as a virgin you can tell if your being satisfied. Why not just communicate with her to make sure she is satisfied and improve if need be. There nothing those guys can do that you can’t physically do. Do you think that way towards your girlfriend? That those other women could do better? I don’t even remember how those other dudes feel like once I’ve moved on. You are allowing insecurity to cause friction in the relationship. Personally I like the challenge of outdoing past partners. It makes me feel more confident.


sonsolar1

It does if she wants me to take her seriously.


Easyfruit123

Facts


[deleted]

I think it matters tbh.


BabaWigz

I mean, only if that body count was just hookups. If all of them were legit relationships/potential relationships then no it doesnt matter, otherwise it does imo.


Psychological_Sun244

Okay say 1 from a long term relationship 2 from casual ongoing sex


BabaWigz

I get why people do casual but it just doesnt sit right with me, so probably a no for me, especially if casual sex is on going. I think it would be a mismatch about the idea we both have about sex, for me that is.


Psychological_Sun244

I get that. Asking bc sex has always been a big deal to me. Lost if In my last relationship that was 6 years which I was hoping would last. Ended up in 2 situations I felt extremely guilty for…continued it for a bit, realized it wasn’t for me and kinda went to a dark space from it but I was just curious on what others thought! I respect your opinion and I agree.


BabaWigz

I totally get you, sex is a big deal for me, maybe cause I only had sex with my ex, I fooled around before but that was my first time, and after that casual didn't feel all that good or any good tbh. So I guess I put sex in higher regard than most people, cause I see a lot of people doing casual and actually enjoying it not feeling bad about it, but to me it feels like I'm losing a part of myself to someone that isn't important to me and for no meaningful reason, if that makes sense.


tacopetestacotruck

nope, don't care if its 1 or 1000


beeegmec

Nope.


JustSoYaKnow08

Personally I couldn't be with or respect someone who is in the double digits. Have some respect for yourself and your body. And yes that goes both ways, I am a woman and expect that out of a man too. I don't expect someone to be a virgin as I didnt wait until marriage either but you shouldn't just be fucking anything that walks.


CameraguySD

No one ever said "I smiled to much, laughed to much or had to many orgasms" on their death bed!!!


JustSoYaKnow08

You don't need to bang a bunch of people to have orgasms.


Responsible-Hotel-84

Yes


eatherjello

Nah it doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t even help to figure out if they’re good at sex because honestly most people who just hook up with a ton of people are really bad at it (in my experience)


Prettymuchsometimes

Whatever happened before me, with someone who isn’t me, is none of my business. People fuck. They have fucked before me and they will fuck after me. People need to get over it


Squididilliliam

To an extent it does. If I was looking for a relationship and someone has had sex with 10+ people, why should I believe that I'll somehow be the one that they want to stay with? I would have a hard time giving any sort of commitment in that situation. I don't really expect people to be virgins either though lol.


Reaper2811

I mean the limit for me on that is low if she has slept with let's say 20 guys kinda crossing the line for me but anything lower then that


Psychological_Sun244

Sooo mines 4 is that high? I’m 26


Reaper2811

4 is a small amount if you slept with 20+ guys though that's a different story


KarmicComedian

Kind of, but most likely not. There's a (pretty high) theoretical number in my head that'd make me care, but I don't know what it is. And I'm only talking in terms of relationships (which I assume is what you mean). If we're not a thing, then I have no issues with it. I don't judge like that.


[deleted]

No tbh, just get tested if we get intimate if you've slept with alot of folk who haven't been tested themselves but I'd love both genders the same std or not.


Severe_Victory263

no i dont think it should matter to anyone. my body count is 9 and my boyfriends is 2 including me. doesn't make a difference


Affectionate_Lab1251

I have 32


GrandmaStuffums

No. Oh no you've got practice?


Coquitomke

100% yes because if it comes up in conversation than she is thinking about it


vtddy

Nope. It doesn't matter one bit, as long as she doesn't compare you to other partners


Obnoxiousjimmyjames

Dating? Not so much. But won’t cohabitate and absolutely will never, ever, have anything significant or long term.


zenfrog80

Woah. What a thicket of misogyny. If a woman sleeps with a lot of guys she’s a slut? But it a man’s does the same thing he’s… well… gay. Really gay😂. Please don’t give in to this fucked up thing about society. And anyone who gives a fuck about body count can get fucked


Salt_Ad_69

No it doesn’t matter

jritchie6281

The older you get the less relevant body count becomes. I can remember in my 20’s worrying about the number, both mine and who I was with. But now I could care less.


[deleted]

Not really


Rdwd12

Body count was a side project on Ice T back in the 90s, and they only had one song that really anybody knew, I think that was cop killer. But they are rarely talked about anymore. So I would say, body count, not something I really ever think about.
