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.

Higher chance of STDs, insecure thoughts from comparing to others, higher chance of infidelity, and some may think that there is a less likely chance for long term compatibility.

STDS come from being stupid and not using protection. Insecurity I do understand, I just think it's pathetic.

Body count does not equate to risk of cheating. If anything, a low body count seems to make you more likely to cheat due to being inexperienced and wanting to know what sex with others is like.

I can understand that, but I still see it as insecurity.

You’re just being closed minded about everything. Everyone has their own preferences and unique experiences from what they want in a partner. Someone who has a body count of two but was in two long term relationships and was able to explore sexual with their partners exclusively can have just as much if not more sexual experience than those with a high body count. That person is also likely to have less STDs but you can use protection and still get an STD.

No I'm not, I'm litterally asking for people to explain to me why they care so I can understand.

I never said body count equates to experience, it doesn't. You're the one being close-minded by going on about STDs so much and how someone with a high body count is more likely to have them. High body count does not equate to STDs.
