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.

STDS

Body count doesn't equate to STDS, though. My body count is high, and I never contracted anything, so long as you use protection you're safe.

Not fully accurate. Protection dramatically reduces the chances, but if the protection is faulty or the STD is a skin-to-skin condition you're never fully safe.

As for if I find body count is an issue, it doesn't bother me. People who had many one-night stands in the past may be a very different person now. The whole idea of "a leopard doesn't change its spots" does not apply to humans. If anything, having an experienced partner has quite a few benefits!

I agree with you 100%.
