What's your number?

The controversial conversation.

Being intimate with another person is human nature. Whether it’s casual sex with a stranger, a one night stand with a friend or lovemaking between partners.

I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had the societal pressure of revealing our body counts.

Falling victims to lowering our numbers to please our partners or increasing it for social praise. It is strange to think the amount of sexual partners someone has experienced, depicts their chances of being a successful love interest. We have all dated or slept with that guy whose number is more than double his own age. But……WHO CARES? This status isn’t some sort of frequent flyer membership where the higher, the more rewards you receive.

However, we should address the sexual pressure felt by the nitrous high flyers. If someone is branded like a calf with the title of being a ‘player’ or ‘slut’, the expectations of performing to their expected standard increase. It’s sad to think we as a society feel the need to judge people on the most humanly possible act, sex.

Needless to say, if your body count seems low…. great! Or if you’re in the gold lounge, great!

At the end of the day, we are all human and we need to accept that we are a reproductively crazed species.

Let’s just be less judgmental about sex!
