This is one of the most powerful articles I’ve read in my life. Keep them coming please, Yael!

This topic is very personal to me. I dated someone for about 2 years who judged me to my very bones that I had been sexual with more partners than he himself. He couldn’t process it and tried to passive aggressively hurt me. I felt so guilty and ashamed and weak with him, and frankly still feel that way a bit to this day. But what does it matter how many people we have been with? Let’s Stop the shaming!

And more so: why is it that the more women men sleep with the ‘better’ but that’s not the case for women?

Also what do we consider as sexual partners? Do blowjobs count? Or anal sex? How is it within the ‘rules’ for (many religious) virgins having anal sex so as to avoid losing virginity? And do they find it enjoyable or is it to please their boyfriends?
