In Gen Z slang, “body count” refers to the number of people someone has had sexual relations with. It’s a term often used in casual conversations about one’s sexual history.

Common misconceptions about body count

Many people often calculate their body count incorrectly. A common mistake is to count each sexual partner equally, simply adding one for every new partner.

For example, if someone has sex with one person, they count it as one; with another person, it becomes two. However, this straightforward calculation isn’t always accurate according to some perspectives.

The orgasm factor

Experts suggest that body count should be calculated differently for women. According to Dr. Jess O’Reilly PhD, a renowned sexologist and host of theĀ Sex with Dr. Jess Podcast, a woman’s body count should be determined by the number of men who have made her orgasm. This means that only the men who have successfully brought a woman to orgasm count towards her body count.

Therefore, if a woman has had multiple sexual partners but only a few have made her orgasm, her body count would be lower than the total number of partners.

A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2023 highlights that only 40% of women report achieving orgasm consistently during sexual intercourse. This statistic supports the notion that body count calculations for women based on orgasms could result in a significantly lower number than simply counting partners.

Unsatisfying sex and casual sex

Dr. Emily Morse, celebrityĀ relationshipĀ andĀ sex expertĀ with a doctorate in HumanĀ Sexuality, says that unsatisfying or incomplete sex often isn’t included in the body count. Casual sex that does not result in an orgasm also doesn’t count. The emphasis is on the quality of the sexual experience rather than the quantity of partners.

Also, a survey by the Kinsey Institute found that 60% of respondents believe that only satisfying sexual encounters should count towards their body count, reinforcing the idea that quality matters over quantity.

What doesn’t count

Lastly, when calculating your body count, it’s important to understand what is excluded. Generally, body count refers to vaginal sexual intercourse and does not include other types of sexual activities. This means that oral sex, anal sex, dry humping, anilingus, and fingering etc do not add to one’s body count.

Calculating your body count can be more nuanced than simply counting each sexual partner. By understanding these guidelines, you can have a more accurate understanding of your body count. It’s also important to note that body count is a personal matter and can vary based on individual perspectives and experiences.
