Body Count Syndrome

Years ago on twitter, I had the pleasure of witnessing a quarrel that apparently happened all because a certain lady refused to disclose her body count to her current partner who then came on Twitter to troll her.
For those of your who are anti-twitter or social media, Body Count Syndrome is the belief on social media about the number of people an individual has had sexual intercourse with;in plain english,the number of people you have slept with.
This reminds me fondly about the reply I gave one of my friends when she asked me what I would say if my partner asked me my body count.My then young and seriously immature brain said I would simply tell him the truth.
Hahahhaha,how young and stupid I was!
After much growing up and understanding the mind of men and women alike,I have come to the conclusion that if you are my ex,then we never happened.Meaning I simply have no body count!
A lot of you reading this will say,hanhan,Tope,that is a lie nah...Oh well,bite me!
In the beginning of the relationship,what people refer to as the honeymoon phase,we are so blinded by lust and all the yummy feelings that we cannot wait to just unburden our souls to that one person who we feel will be our soulmate.As a result we lower our guards,say to hell to well honed defense systems we have put in place and just open our emotion-addled brain and sprout all the secrets we have held close overtime.Now fast forward a few months or years if you are lucky,the honeymoon phase is gone and you are left with the realness,the core and what happens,insults are traded,hurtful words are thrown around and gbam! You are judged in the present by the past you have divulged.
Holup holup! I am not advocating keeping secrets in relationships but why would you reveal what wouldn't hurt your partner anyway..I mean why?
My conclusion is this,if you are going to reveal your BC to someone,be careful who you choose.I am sure you don't want your BC a topic on Twitter!
It is your business and if you are going to make it another person's, be sure they have earned the right to!

Girlll! Spot on o! Call me delusional but if you're my ex, well, it never happened.
I honestly believe the BC talk is for the insecure and immature guys. Don't ask me and i won't ask for yours either. We've all been young and stupid. But if they eventually ask sha, it is 2! When they wake u from the dream it is 2! You're bathing? 2! Everyday of your life, 2!
