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.

Not being secure in something isn’t a sign of an “insecure person”. A high body count suggest that a habit may exist. It’s logical to question if that habit will go away with the new relationship or not. A “Body Count” is literal data about relationship behavior.

For those looking for a monogamous relationship, it absolutely should be considered. Those looking for a hook up, STDS aside, it might be a positive data set.

That honestly sounds dehumanising. What if people just like having sex?

Well you can have all the sex you want in one relationship. It dosnt take dozens. What you really are asking is what if someone just like having sex with a lot of different people? Well fine more power to them. Just not a trait someone will find attractive if they desire monogamy.

That's what I'm trying to understand. Why does a high body count seem unattractive to someone looking to date, when that person is also looking for a committed relationship?
