Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda Jamny sit.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Down to the Jeronesy demand of Arms for the pub test.
The subject today the term body count, referring to the
number of sexual partners a person has had. Does that
pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
It seems to be coming up a lot in socials,
and maybe it matters more to younger people.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Is it a topic of conversation when you first go
out with someone? Does it matter? Does it tell you
things about them? And should you know those things about them?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Punching well love Wade In Australia, the Turks they have
fourteen point five. We have thirteen point three.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
This sounds like a high number on average, but they've
averaged it out into the average number of lifetime sexual
partners they think is around nine.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
The older you get, well you might not get more
because you might be in a long term marriage. We've
been married for a long time, you and I together, No,
but we've been married for a long time, so you
before Harley and Harley was married before you.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, well that's right. But I was always interested in
how many serious relationships has had, not necessarily how many
partners they are, you know, sexual partners they had.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
And it was because I remember, and it is triggering.
I remember mentioning to you that Harley's ex wife used
to make shoe pastry and she.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Used to make perferoles.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, and one day we'll just ad a barbecue. And
I said, Darley, do you miss it?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
You did this deliberately?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I don't. It's curious because she used to make it
all the time. I know, I just was, you know,
and I'm an inquisitive person.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
I've been at restaurants with you where no one's eating dessert,
and you said, I'll have the perferoles please. You know
that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's top of mind.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why not to me, not to Harley, but to you.
Apparently body count does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 4 (01:38):
I think body count is so ridiculous. I'm a single
woman and when I go on date, if a guy
said to me, what's your body count? Huge red flag?
It's gross. It shouldn't matter, and everyone has a past,
so I don't think that matters. When you're starting something new.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well shed at a certain age, you've got the life experience.
So you get to a point where you don't ask,
you don't know, and what you don't know can't.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Hurt you, No, It doesn't pass the pub test. I
believe that body count is a personal thing and it
should be kept secret. However, if your partner does ask
in a private situation, I do believe you should tell
the truth on how many people you've been with, just
to I guess you could say peace of mind. I
don't think it does.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
I think mind your business. Let people do what they
need to do.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
And if you ask someone, I think it's a bit
of a red flag.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, that's on a date, that would be Oh that's.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Not you know, that's no, no, no, not on a date.
You need to be longer into a relationship. If you're
every going to ask after the wedding, do you think yeah,
I don't even think you should ask the question.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Don't ask the question.
