What’s Your Body Count?
Why the number of sexual partners a person has had matters in our culture
What’s your number and what does that number mean to you? Does the number of partners your romantic interests have had matter? Is there a threshold for you for consideration to date or marry?
Why are men more concerned about how many partners a woman has had than women are of men? Christianity’s stigma against promiscuous women carries over into American culture.
A woman who has had more sexual partners is considered more likely to cheat. For men it’s not expected to make any difference. A Recent study suggests men with a higher number of partners before marriage were more likely to cheat, whereas women with a smaller number of partners before marriage were more likely to cheat.
The common myth is that a loose vagina is a symptom of overuse. Stretching is a temporary thing, but even an above average sized penis will not make a permanent difference in the tightness of a woman’s vagina. Genetics determine the size same as a penis.
Our cultural narrative promotes the idea a woman’s worth is tied to her sexual behavior. Men are encouraged to sleep with as many women as we can get away with. It’s a double standard that the media reinforces.
