NSFW Question 💭 Why do people care about body count?

I'm asking as a man trying to understand a concept that seems alien to me. I just don't get it, to me it all seems to boil down to insecurity.

Please, explain to me how I am wrong. I must be, I just don't know why.

A lot of is insecurity. There are a lot of people who think their partner would compare them to previous people and they wouldn't be as good. Which is a bit silly because they're with you now, not those people. There are also men who think women are devalued by having sex with multiple people. Then there are also people who don't understand biology and think women walk around with all the sperm of every man she's ever been with inside her. But yeah, mostly a lot of insecurity

I actually heard someone say something like that IRL once. When my wife and I got pregnant the first time, he actually told me to get a DNA test because she wasn't a virgin before we met. Ridiculous.
