So over the past weekend, me and my buddy were discussing a very common, controversial topic, which was "Body Count". His partner asked the question that so many women ponder with, "How many sexual partners should a woman have before she's consider a 'slut/hoe'?".

To whit, it is always hard to give a general answer with a question like this because it is highly subjective per person. It almost feels like a question with no answer since it differentiates per person.

However, my buddy came with a baseline answer which I though had some weight to it:

Buddy's answer: When someone starts forgetting the people they've had sex with, that number is too high.

Buddy's reasoning: When you start forgetting partners from your sexual history, it means that you're having indiscriminate intercourse with people that don't matter because they're not important enough to remember.

​

My answer: 10, realistically 20.

My reasoning: For the primitive belief that counting on your fingers should be enough, but if needed, you have toes. So you can put a face on a limb.

From my buddy's baseline answer, a woman can use that and pretty much amend from there with their future partners, which then potentially follows my answer.

But I'm curious to know what are everyone's thoughts are about the matter. I could be wrong, so I just wanted to share this thought with the community.
