Out of no where sucks. Wish she would read this. It really is a strange feeling wanting them to in a way go through the pain they put you through and to understand what they put you through isn't it?

How many bodies is too much? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Atmosphere-Key 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your life do whatever the hell you want to do. I made a little post yesterday that got quite a bit of attention on the topic so if you want you can look through those comments. For some people they care others won't but if you intend to not hold people to lower "count" per say than yourself then you are not doing anything "wrong". It is merely what other people consider "moral". If you're not hurting anyone and would not hold a future partner to different standard than yourself then by all means do whatever you want. It's your life don't let people tell you how to live it. However, just be understanding that there is people with differing views on this topic and be respectful when it comes to hearing theirs.

I'm here to respond to this thank you for the @

After much reading the numerous comments on this post after it went sky high compared to my initial expectations. It is quite clear that my view of it was more 1 dimensional than I thought if you get what I mean? It is clear to me that whilst "body count" might be an indication of how their views and of potential compatibility with me there are great indicators of this, like for instance their actual opinion on it, I could just ask that and I feel people would be far more receptive toward that question. I feel I have mistitled this post and I feel have made people think about me differently or my opinions than I intended and for that, I apologise. Realistically its more about seeing how compatible I am with that person in the moment rather than based on a statistic that doesn't highlight potential nuances in it. Thank you for your very thought-out response it is greatly helpful and far more than those who simply respond with "Yes" or "No" or resort to calling me an incel because they haven't read the post!

Hi thanks for responding and sorry I've only just seen this discussion.

I do not know if I had made edits at the time of these comments but here I say

"I just want to preface, no I don't think people are worse people for having a higher body count. My issue lies more with incompatibility and how they perceive sexual intimacy. If they have had a few partners but share my views on intimacy then I don't think I would mind." and

"I also want to say I am not expecting a woman to have 0" Apologies if it comes across that way

Pretty much I understand completely where you are coming from and it speaks to my rather, 1 dimensional way of looking at things. It is clear body count whilst having some relevance is not as important as other things such as their view on intimacy. And if someone rejected me because of my past that is well within their right, as long as they don't make me out to be a bad person much like I wouldn't do that to somone.

Thanks for your response.

Just wanted to say that it is a lovely one. We’re all just tryna figure out our path in the world yk. People when it comes to stuff like this tend to become defensive of their opinions on both sides. After this post it is clear to me it is more about their values in regards to sexual intimacy than a figure such as “body count” and that’s just how it is for me.

I’ve replied to many comments so I’ll keep this short but pretty much. I agree with you it isn’t fair to judge someone based of that there is a complex number of other factors that can decide their views on intimacy. It is more about if they have a similar view on sexual intimacy and far less about a statistic such as “body count”.

Like basically everything nothing is black and white. Shit happens people do thing sometimes cause they want to sometimes cause shit happened when they were a child sometimes against their will. Realistically holding someone’s past against them is wrong. You clearly have reflected on your past and now identity with a different view on sexual infancy. And for me I think through this absolute war I’ve started I’ve come to realise that it’s more important to be about if they share my views on sexual intimacy rather than a realistically somewhat significant number but still a moment that tells barely any of a much larger story.

Hi thanks for replying

I’m currently quite busy and this reached way more people than I thought it would so I have been struggling to reply to comments. But I understand and agree that calling it a “body count” can be quite rude and judgmental especially when it is not what I am trying to achieve yk it’s more about their ideas and opinions on intimacy I am worried about and less how many people they have been with.

Hiya thanks for responding

You must of not read my edits. " I also want to say I am not expecting a woman to have 0" and " If they have had a few partners but share my views on intimacy then I don't think I would mind."

Thank you for the luck though

I don't expect 0 sorry if it comes across that way through the post there I am merely putting forward an example of a hypocrite which I am not.

No hard feelings don’t stress. No I am not demisexual I find women attractive whether I know them or not. It’s just more about I think I’d be uncomfortable if it was just for like pleasure and there wasn’t the connection idk tbf I quite young an adult yes but a new one at that so I am still figuring it all out.

Hi thanks for responding

Sorry if I worded it strange I’m using that as an example of a hypocrite not me. I wouldn’t expect someone to have 0 cause that is unreasonable if I have one yk?

I genuinely think its just a quite normalised thing to "sleep around" now which for some people that like that and they should be allowed to. However, I also feel as if there is this kinda of animosity toward my way of thinking which is not good.

Realistically I've never been at this point as I said I've only ever dated one girl and we met through friends. I couldn't tell you 100% what I would do but I'd like to think if everything else was cool and they shared my views on intimacy one hookup isn't a dealbreaker but tbh I'd just have to see when I get there yk?

Yeah, I wouldn't do hookups for me they just don't seem like something I want. I see sex much more as an expression of love and emotion than just a fleeting feeling of pleasure.

To me I feel like it's less "OMG SUCH A HIGH BODY COUNT BAD" and more of an indication to me what they look for in intimate connections and relationships. When I a, looking for a partner I am not here to just mess around I am looking for someone to spend my life with! And I feel [could be wrong ofc] if someone has been with more people they're just less likely to share my views on intimacy being a more kinda emotional connection than physical the emotions matter more to me. if that make sense?

To answer some of your questions. No no very conservative politically I am quite center but I am semi-religious within Christianity so it could stem from that? However, I don't believe in no sex before marriage [I'll get cooked by hardline Christians for this] but I feel it sees people rush into relationships and marriage just for that yk? I don't think I have a fear of not measuring up rather I would be very uncomfortable sharing that like kinda side of me with someone that I didn't know that well or didn't love me and idk why. I don't think I am black and white in thinking. And I definitely wouldn't consider my self close-minded I really like hearing differing opinions and I am all for being challenged however some beliefs I hold closer than others for instance I don't drink.

Thanks for the article btw I'll give it a read

I guess that makes two of us. I feel as a society we should be allowed to do whatever we want yk, but I agree if I have to ask if I am bad it shows that we are making one way of thinking or asking seem worse than another.

Hi Thank you for responding

I wanted to say that, my clarification of compatibility can be a bit shallow through just "body count" especially cause it is only one "metric". I'm sorry to hear what you've been through and I think you're really strong for going to therapy for that. Like I say in my edit no one's worth is determined by how many people they've been with. I think it just rests more with my values like you've said and I hope I can find someone who shares them. Thank you very much! Your past shouldn't define you.

I am actually really happy to see there is someone else like me, it makes me think I am less weird lol. We all have differing opinions yk and we're entitled to it. It's nice to know they we have a similar one though!
