I don't think people caring about body count has anything to do with physical things other than drastically increased odds of STIs and certain cancers.

I think mature adults realize that sex is never just sex, it forms attachments whether you want it or not. Screwing around forming and cutting off attachments constantly kind of fucks with your capacity to emotionally invest in an actual relationship.

i think the way you're describing the process as "screwing around, forming and cutting off attachments" really shows that you think of it in a very black and white sort of way. one can have casual / fwb sex with their friends, and still have a friend relationship with that person. one can even have one-off sex with an acquaintance or stranger, and even if you never meet again, it doesn't really make it a "cut off" relationship; if you met again, it would be pleasant, circumstances just may not arrange it

just because it's a more emotionally involved process for you or some people you've encountered, doesn't make it a universal truth

Not everyone does form those attatchemnts. There are plenty of poeole out there who can just have sex and have a good time and move on.

Good point, it also helps filter out people who are innately mental.

Which is equally as worrying, to people who disapprove of high "body count" on assumption that emotional attachments were made
