As one does, I reflected on my own body count (9) and felt a weird bit of shame surrounding it. Considering I am not dating anyone right now, it seems only inevitable that my body count will hit the double digits soon… which is a terrifying thought. Before I broke up with my long-term boyfriend, I had a body count of 3. However, every time I go out, the idea of my body count hitting double digits echoes in the back of my mind. The flip side is I have now begun to feel shame about the shame I feel about my body count.
