I remember asking women how many people they slept with. Never heard the term body count before. Is this a recent term? By recent I mean after the year 2000

I read about it a couple of decades ago—not sure of the history of the term.

Given extreme Internet censorship it is hard to get accurate history of the manosphere.

I would advise young men to never ask that question.

The old advice to trial lawyers applies: If you do not already know the answer then do not ask the question.

The reason—information the woman gives is impossible to evaluate—and most certainly should never be taken at face value.

If she brings up the subject and volunteers just nod and listen—just like if she was telling you that she calculated the number of angels on the head of a pin.

I'm sure that all the young ladies you asked were very frank and forthcoming with that information. They weren't at all offended by the question, and hastened to supply you with the requested data, so that you could evaluate it and make the corresponding assessment of their "dateability."

Its first documented mention was in a 1955 episode of "Father Knows Best."

Nota Bene: In reference to a man's sexual history, in contrast, the preferred term is "notch count" (because men are proud of their sexual conquests, seeing as how they validate their sexual prowess).
