Body Count... does it matter?

Was in bed yesterday and at around 10:13am… *ding*… a notification on my phone. Twitter, opened it and it was a link to a blog I am highly addicted to, so I quickly sat up and clicked on that link so fast at the excitement of having something interesting to read. So there I was engulfed in the story of this chick who had found herself on a date with a guy who had a bit of an opinion about body counts and a woman with a body count of above 5 was deemed ‘loose’ or ‘easy’ thereby undateable or not wife material but he said for him it was okay because, and I quote, “he is a man”.

*rolling eyes* Here goes another male specimen with a double standard about how men can sleep with whatever, whoever and with no problem but a female does it and she’s a ‘hoe’. Come on people. *sigh*

Times now are different. They are not how they used to be when our parents were growing up and it wasn’t for them how it was when their parents or grandparents were growing up…. Sex today is taken so lightly and casually like it’s nothing which of course has its downsides and so because of this you find most people in relationships engage in sex, it’s the norm now. So imagine a young girl in love that trusts her boyfriend ever so much she’s willing to give him anything to make him happy and he’s a guy, charming, with a silver tongue, high sex drive and fully aware of how much she loves him, of course he’ll get her to sleep with her. This sadly is how we females find ourselves in such situations. So imagine the time period between 16 to 25 years old… how many boyfriends/girlfriends one could have had which equates to how many people one may have slept with. This of course is not the case with everybody but I’m just setting up a scenario. And because of this I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone based solely on their body count because the same way men enjoy sex and freely endulge in it, believe it or not but women do too and that’s okay. You see, sex has been portrayed as a pleasure for men and a chore for women. Like we are supposed to give it to our man for him to enjoy and not for both of us to enjoy. That’s why some females find it difficult to ask for sex because of the abomination that was made to be in a way which made it difficult for females to express themselves sexually unlike the male folk. A guy does it, he’s praised, a girl does it, she’s bashed, called names, slut, hoe/whore.


I strayed a bit there… okay a lot lol my point was, one’s actions sometimes isn’t their personality. Not all virgins are good and kind people with amazing personalities and a stand up character. And not all sexually active people are a rotten kind. Let’s not label people, we shouldn’t judge people based on such things. If someone has slept with 10 people and you’ve slept with1 or 2, you’re not better, you both fornicated you self-righteous twat you. We all have different beliefs, upbringings, standards, morals, codes of conduct etc. so if mine differ from yours, I shouldn’t judge you, I should understand our differences and if I can’t deal with them I should simply find myself in the company of those that share my beliefs without having to bash the ones who don’t. It’s really that simple.


This wasn’t meant to promote sexual recklessness so be safe, ladies don’t give up the cooch to just anyone, fellas don’t stick it up any hole that comes at you, BE SAFE!! WRAP IT UP!

So what's your opinion? How many is too much? Does it matter? Comment below or E-mail me

  1. Well body count should not be used to shame people. I think if we can come from a place of understanding to get the reason WHY she/he had sex with so many people life would be better. A lot of women suffer from insecurity, low self esteem, financial instability, desperation, sexual addictions, the need for approval etc which people take advantage of..others as just "liberal" with themselves. What matters most is that the person is seen for who they are. Personally i do think one should watch who they sleep with and reserve it for marriage, but at the same time I try to understand the reasons and place one is coming from with their "body count". Which is why i won't self-righteously point a finger. We just need to give some empathy....

    1. Exactly! We also need to stop shaming women for the same things men get a pass and appraisal for.

D.I.Y.: Vest to Bodysuit

Hey! It's been a minute.... yes, a really long minute 🙈 I know. But I'm back!! Woop woop. The festive season is upon us and we all want to look good because why not?? So I'm here to help y'all look good on a budget so you can have enough money left over to go out and celebrate.... you're welcome, you know I gatchu *insert high five here*. So, last year I had written an article on thrifting, or salaula if you may, on the Trendition-Z page, follow the link >  HERE  < . I gave a few tips on how to go about it so you will definitely find it useful. (Read it!!) A while ago, I happened to find myself in DAPP because they had clothes going at K8... K8!!! How could I walk past that?? So I got the vest and knit sweater in the thumbnail picture above for K8 each and felt pretty good about my purchase. Problem is, the vest was way too long as you see above. Ended up looking like a really short dress so it was idly sitting in the closet until I got a light bulb m...

Death's Selective Mourners

Hey y'all.... so yesterday the 4th of April there was a bus accident in which it is reported about 6 people died. Tragic. Especially for the families of the deceased. But... all over social media I only kept seeing condolences to one family. The one whose daughter was a bride to be. Of course absolutely nothing wrong with issuing out condolences. Only problem is this tendency to only feel remorse for and talk about the "celebrity". I'll explain. If there are 2 or 3 people in a vehicle and of those people one of them happens to be a famous person and then an accident occurs, the only person or person's family that will receive tons of love, remorse and have posts of condolences sent their way is that of the famous person. And this really bothers me because do the lives of the other victims not matter and go unnoticed because they were unknowns? No. Every life matters and cannot be measured or valued by one's level of popularity or wealth. So back to yes...

Look for Less with DIY

So.... I'm into arts and crafts, DIY... anything I can do by myself I don't like to spend money on. From changing a light bulb to fixing a plug or socket to hammering something together, fixing a door handle, painting, braiding my hair all the way to the clothes I wear. I prefer to do things on my own from the phrase/saying: "If you want something done right do it yourself"  That's my motto. I prefer to be self sufficient and encourage others to do the same because there is nothing I hate more than having to be stranded and depend on someone else to come through only to disappoint me.  But don't get me wrong, where I'm unable to, I'm quick to ask for help. So school was forcibly/prematurely closed so i've been bored outta my mind.  But then I thought "hmm i like clothes. Why don't I get a little creative to pass the time" and got to it. Yesterday I came up with this little number Made the crop top out of a p...
