I don’t know how many men I’ve slept with either. And though I’ve never counted, I’m sure it’s because I feared I’d be over the acceptable limit for a woman. TeeHee Then I woke up. Whose business is it really, how many people I’ve shagged? I’m a grown woman, I can do WHATEVER I want. But it has taken me a very long time to own my sexuality. When a man wants to know how many men (most men don’t care how many women you’ve slept with) you’ve laid, they are positioning a woman for “slut” shaming. But when a woman owns her body and sexuality none of these antics work. That is, she can’t be demoralized or controlled. I applaud you for taking your power back.
