Not remotely as much as personality traits that lead to having high bodycount so the answer is yes, even tho I always hid mine

but it has increased chance of stds.
I mean if you have multiple sexual partners you should be getting checked anyway. I don't know about other countries but in the UK we do have clinics where people can go and get any tests done for sti's and std's and you get your results via text message after a few days.

Always found it humorous how these places were packed on Monday mornings. 🤣

If you sleep around, especially if you rawdog it, you should take responsibility and at least get checked on the regular.

If someone requires constant monitoring for stds, then they are the types of people to avoid.

And that's your choice which is fine, I'm advocating that IF you are someone who does have multiple sexual partners or a lot of hook ups then you SHOULD be getting tested as it's a very easy process and there's no excuses not to.

Yes, it does, even to those who say it doesn't.

Go ask your friends if they think body count matters and if they say it doesn't, ask them this question:

Would you rather date a guy/girl who has had sex with 100 different guys/girls at least once,

OR

Would you rather date a guy/girl who has had 1 relationship but slept with that 1 person 100 times.

I guarantee the MAJORITY will say the second option and immediately then, they have contradicted their own original answer.

The reality is, socially people will always say "Body count doesn't matter", but deep down, people will ALWAYS choose someone for a partner who doesn't sleep around.

Above a certain point yes. Not because it's bad per se, but because it might be an indication that she's not looking for the same thing as me. I'm too old for short casual flings.

When a woman I'm dating asks what my bodycount they always get the same answer "Maybe about 9, but I don't really count". I only had one woman react badly to that number "9!", but she had only been with one man before. Women like to feel like they have been specially selected.

I once helped a girl I knew on her path to getting to 50 (a few times) but I wouldn't have had a proper relationship with her.

Oh... You made a great point here.

But then again, those are hypothetical people.
Girls like your second option practically don't exists.
Most adult women who are reasonably attractive have had more sexual partners than most men. It's just too easy for them to have a few hookups in-between longer term relationships.

In the end they're human beings. With flaws and impulses. You can't expect her to be the perfect image of purity. You're doomed to fail if you do.

What number is too much ? I don't know.

I mean, sure it may be an extreme example that might not be 100% realistic, but what I was trying to say is that the majority of people will always choose a lower body count person for their future partner, even after saying body counts don't matter.

Even if you change the 2nd option to someone who has slept with 10 or 20 different people, you will still have the majority of people picking that option.

To the people who answer, "No", in the poll: why?

I can understand the Yes answers, but...

Having the town whore wrapped around my arms doesn't exactly bring a sense of pride in me.

But your body count shouldn't matter to her, right? Because you're a man! /S

As long as she's only with you, loyal to you and STD free... Why should her past matter? Seriously... If YOU'RE the town whore, you don't think having your arm around her fills her with disgust?

Yes, but it does depend on what the number is and her age, I am reasonable.

It should matter for both I think. I was always puzzled why many women don’t see to care.

The logic behind it is quite easy… the more partners you have, the more comparison there is, the less special your current partner is and the more likely it is that you will jump ship if something even minute is wrong.

I seriously don’t understand how anyone can think they can fuck around, then one day settle and have a meaningful relationship.

Because relationships are more than just sex. How someone feels about you matters.

Broaden your friend group and people you meet. You'll see plenty who had a "hoe" era and ended up with long or lifetime relationships.

The first option. Why? Because the second option likely doesn't know what she wants in a RELATIONSHIP making it more likely she will cheat... Whereas the first option woman has experienced a myriad of men and personalities to know what she does and doesn't want and is actually more likely to stay with you if you fulfill all or most of the things she genuinely wants in a man.

IMO you should just keep this info to yourself. It never goes anywhere good. That being said the body count only matters on how they got it. If it was from a bunch of serious boyfriends fine, if its from every Dick, John, Joe at the bar then she wouldnt be for me but not because of the body count because the type of person who does that isnt my type of girl

This is a personal preference anyway.

Yes, because men and women look for the same things in their partners. /s

I'm not saying what you're saying isn't true, but it's not a grievance I hear women espouse.

Edit: Or are you speaking for them? Isn't that, like, mansplaining? Toxic masculinity?

You make reasonable points, but it's not intuitive, so I don't think people are going to reach the same conclusions as you without thinking outside their biology.

I think: a woman wants a man who's experienced, whereas for men, it's the opposite. These opposing wants bring us towards an impasse, where both parties are at tensions with each other, unwilling to compromise.

We agree in that men with a high body count who demand purity from women are hypocrites, but they are the exception. EDIT: Unless, of course, he's fucking a bunch of 3-4/10s; in which case, why would he have standards in the first place?
Why would you want a girl that is inexperienced lol

Is this hypothetical scenario a realistic choice that most people will come across in their life? Does that accurately represent the choices that real people are making?

It will always "depend"


Generally speaking, sex forward people it won't matter.

More conservative, "only dating" types will

Personally I don't care about body count and think people who do are honestly jealous at their lack of experience from my anecdotal interactions.

Because for the woman who's experienced, in her head, she's doing a Mental Dick-Measuring Contest.

There's always someone else in her past who might have a bigger dick than you (literally and figuratively).

So, whether we like it or not, it is about ego.

"Comparison is the thief of joy"

If you want your SO to be subconsciously cucking you to her past, then okay! Whatever satisfies that kink, I guess!

For me it’s even worse if she’s on OF. Wouldn’t even consider dating anyone that does that.

Genuine question, have you actually slept with anyone? This is a seriously unhealthy mindset to have when it comes to sex, do you judge the people you sleep with against others? Where's the joy in that? You're just setting yourself up for failure with that style of thinking.

Or is that the underlining issue here? Are YOU scared of being compared to other people's sexual performance? You seem to focus on dick size and tout being compared as being "cucked" which is soo far off from the actual term. Are you suggesting that the only way a man can be truly happy with a woman is if she was a virgin so she can not compare you at all?

Edit: and I don't mean to come across in a negative but more in a questioning way because I can't see how someone could be enjoying sex if they're constantly worried about such things.

No guy - none - has ever told their friends 'You know what I love about her? I love the fact that at least a hundred other guys have blown a load in her. I'm just so proud when I think of the 50 dicks she's had in her mouth. She's the woman I want to mother my children.'

Of course it fucking matters. It matters to women too. Nobody wants a slut for a partner - male or female. Anyone who claims otherwise is completely delusional.

A few times I was their first. Others I didnt care to ask.

I had a few girlfriends ask how many I had. Thankfully what I said didn't seem to bother them, our numbes weren't too off.

I was with girls that 'had a past'..some I was aware and others, they would explain to me. I never cared or judged. I sure as hell ain't a saint so how could I stand and say anything. As long as we were together, communicating, that's all that mattered.

And what, pray tell, is a healthy way of looking at this? You seem to have a liberal way of looking at this subject, which one can also argue is pretty unhealthy.

You and I are not going to agree on this subject, which is fine. That's the point of a forum; but personally, your rhetorical questions isn't really something I want to engage in, so let's leave it at that.

But do you enjoy your sex life? Or are you constantly worried about being compared to others? That isn't a body count thing at that point that's more of a deeper issue. I'm hoping you reflect on that for yourself dude because if you're not enjoying sex then something is wrong.

I had a very promiscous period in my life so I would be a hypocrite for judging a woman on doing the same thing. I have also been faithful in every relationship and never cheated on a woman once. I believe women are capable of the same. To me it is about a woman's mentality. Is she capable of being happy in a committed relationship or does she always have grass is greener syndrome? Does she look back on her wild times and see it as fun she had or does she feel used and now has a grudge against men in general? It is about way more than just numbers.
