Body count is, by definition, a social construct. Virginity was just created a few thousand years ago by old men who thought their penis was so important, it changed a young girl forever. Those same men thought that a woman’s body could only handle one penis her whole life. Body count is absolutely a human-made concept with no basis in biology.

Its a social construct because it relies on certain societal perceptions of sex. Like what do you consider sexual emotional to count for a body count?? Making out? hand stuff? oral? penetration? Everyone has a different idea of what counts so unless you establish that every time it comes up, when you share body count with someone you may be understanding it very differently than them. Doesn’t mean you can’t use it as a way to communicate your experiences, but it is not a tangible defined thing

in very simple terms it’s a social construct because for someone it’s gonna count if you had phone sex, for someone its gonna count if there was only some sexual activity wo penetration and for somebody it’s gonna only count with penetration. there’s no “scientific” way to measure body count = people define its borders = it’s what was constructed by society

Body count is real and a social construct.
