A lot of guys on here, often though not exclusively of a traditional bent, appear to be obsessed with n-count. The numbers bandied around for too high an n-count tend to range from over 20, over 6, to the more extreme 1.

It is an odd obsession to me, especially in light of another concept I would like to introduce: the F-count, which is the number of times a person has actually had sex.

Consider a couple of examples:

- A faithful 25-year-old widow who married at 18, whose husband tragically died trying to save a neighbour’s puppy from drowning. She has no children, as they had just finished their education and were about to start trying to conceive. N-count=1, F-count somewhere between 1000 and 2000.

- A woman, 25, who has just finished her master’s degree and is looking to start a family. She has had a few boyfriends, and the odd one-night stand that she thought would turn into a boyfriend. N-count = 18. F-count = 134.

We hear a lot of talk from some quarters of women being “run through”, their vaginas being stretched out of shape from all the cock they have had (yes, I know), and their inability to “pair bond”.

Now I ask those of you who consider n-count to be important (and anyone else who fancies chipping in):

Which of these is the more “run through”?

Which is more likely to have fallen victim to such a medically miraculous physical change?

And which is less able to “pair bond”?
