Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!
So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?
Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I didn’t know they are high. I personally find it no one’s business what their body count is but if I was in the dating or casual sex scene, I’d make sure the person was tested prior to engaging with them in any sexual contact
I have an acquaintance I met online through the gaming world and they have all kinds of sexual relationships with various people whenever they please and Idk why they were so open about it with me but I definitely wouldn’t be interested in that person just based on their lack of respect and taking precautions

I'm not entirely sure there is a connection between people believing body count doesn't matter and higher STD rates.
My husband's body count is significantly higher than mine. We're both of the mindset that body count doesn't matter, and neither of us have ever had an STD.
I think people practice safe sex if that's what they choose to do, whether they care about body count or not is irrelevant. At the end of the day, consenting people will decide to do what they think is best and right for them in the moment

Body count doesn’t matter. Safe sex does 🙄 and yes ppl that don’t care about body count can still care about their health.
Please feel free to just vote guys if your answers are listed 😂. I’d love to hear if you have a suspicion as to why it’s been a increase. Other than that you can just vote!
