The Sanctity of Purity
On women's sexual history and the four types of sex
Bodycount is the most insufferable topic of all online gender discourse. It’s also the most prickly; morally evaluating someone’s past solely from a numerical value isn’t simple. Regardless, one’s sexual history is worthy of discussion given how drastically sexual norms in the West have changed. The frequency and intensity of the debate might be annoying, but it’s inevitable and worthy of a fair deconstruction.
Like with all topics on the internet, there are extreme takes on both sides that can be easily discarded. Some men believe that if a woman slept with one (1) man she isn’t married to then she’s an irredeemable whore. Some women believe sleeping with an infinite number of men is completely fine because it’s “sex work.” Both of these opinions are too stupid to be worthy of consideration; into the dustbin of retarded internet takes they go. Therefore, the more reasonable position must be somewhere in the middle.
By the way, since when does basic arithmetic inspire so much passion in people? Are we really getting riled up about numbers? Given that sex is the most personal and vulnerable topic there is, we should get to the root of what we’re actually talking about here.
Before we get started, let’s make sure you and I are on the same page. This is my understanding of the “bodycount” topic:
A woman is born with 100% purity.
When she loses her virginity, her purity is no longer 100%.
Her purity decreases with every man she sleeps with.
The opposite of purity is corruption.
Men prefer a woman who is more pure than corrupted.
Therefore, if a woman wants to be attractive to men, she should strive to be more pure and less corrupted.
I’m on board with that. This is reasonable.
However, this framework begs the question — exactly how much does her purity decrease with each new man she sleeps with? This number matters, doesn’t it?
If her purity decreases by 50% with each new man and she slept with 2 men — then she has no purity left. She’s for the streets.
If her purity decreases by 5%, then she can sleep with another 19 men and still retain 5% of her purity. Is a 5% purity level acceptable?
I know this might sound pedantic — but if the number doesn’t matter, then the bodycount topic should be discarded for good.
Let’s stress test the assumption. Is it true that a woman’s purity decreases the same amount with each man she sleeps with? Does sleeping with a boyfriend of 3 years hold the same weight as a one-night stand with some clown? If so, then this logic relies on an even bigger assumption: the bodycount topic assumes that all men have the same value.
Is it true that all men have the same value? If so, then it implies that the vote of the homeless schizophrenic should matter just as much as the stable, successful, and generous father of 3. It means that the transsexual pedophile deserves the same amount of bread on the breadline as you do. Do you believe this? I certainly don’t. Great. So we can agree — given that all men are not worth the same, each man does not decrease a woman’s purity by the same amount. Therefore, 1 man ≠ 1 body.
Now that we have that settled, we still need to figure out what reduces her purity. We did agree that purity can be reduced, after all. Let’s continue.
