Why do many people want to know your body count aka how many people you've had sex with?

What use is this information for people and before anyone just say "curiosity" well why does that make people curious?

Are they comparing their own body county to theirs? whats the big deal? Is a higher body count something to be celebrated? does it mean you're one of the cool kids? or maybe people just wanna judge them for the high count... or the low count, or someone with no body count at all. I just don't get it lol. i never asked for this nor do i really care about it.

If anyone else wants to come in here and try to say there's a link between promiscuity and infidelity better back it up with evidence first.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidelity

Under “causes” on the Wikipedia page there's no mention that promiscuity will lead to an adulterous relationship or marriage.—This peer reviewed article posits that promiscuous people who get into monogomous relationships remain faithful.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Sounds like you became pretty good with women quite early in life

  • Because it’s an unattractive trait. For girls it seems like it might be more about a perception of loyalty. For guys, they usually see it as just gross and unattractive. Either way, that’s people’s interest in it. But for me, of the answer isn’t zero then I don’t want to know. So I wouldn’t ask about it and would plan to simply never ever speak about it.

  • Guys ask because we are investing a shit ton of emotion, money, and time into a person so we want them to be quality.

    You don’t buy a busted ass used vehicle that was a rental. Used and abused by many others with lots of milage. It isn’t worth the investment.

    A relationship is much more valuable and therefore demands more quality.

    • All of that is fearmongering and based on no facts at all. A persons promiscuity does not devalue them if they are safe and responsible with it.

    • That’s bs. The more partners a person has totally brings down their value. They have a multitude of baggage from more and more people, they are more me tally broken because of those experiences, less and less is sacred or special, compared to someone with values and morals. Of course if you had to pick between no car and a busted ass clunker, any ride is better than walking.

    • ". They have a multitude of baggage from more and more people," not if it was all consensual and understood by all parties involved it was just sex. ", they are more me tally broken because of those experiences" this is more because they get judged by people like you than anything else. "less and less is sacred or special," sex for some can still be special when their emotions are involved and they deeply love the other person. It can also be terrible if a person has no experience whatsover and the other person treats them like garbage during the act itself. "compared to someone with values and morals." ohhh im sure you are just the primest example of what to be in the world and most should emulate you huh? "Of course if you had to pick between no car and a busted ass clunker, any ride is better than walking. " sometimes its preferred to go with the clunker and fix them back up again so they feel brand new again.

  • Cause it's relevant somehow. It can say a lot about your personality and values.

    • How?

    • Multiple partners=less likely to be a good monogamous partner, increased likelihood of cheating, more sex-oriented person VS romantic person

    • Got any stats to back any of that up?

  • It is an indication of your risk factor for having an STD.

    • And what if they assure you they were safe about all of that and provide proof that they never got anything? Therefore no need to tell you how many

    • If they give me their test results and they are negative for everything; then really I don't care how many people they have slept with.

  • Just curious kind of fun to talk about

    • Whats fun about it?

    • kind of fun hearing about what others did

    • Ok i guess its ok but only between friends in my opinion.
