-President’s Corner for June 2017 What’s Your Body Count?byDr. Freda M. Bush
Recently, talking to a 15 y/o girl, I learned she was still a virgin. When I inquired why she was not sexually active, she said she has been approached by many male friends who first want to know her “body count.” “Body count” meaning how many bodies she had sex with. When she says zero, they want to know “What’s wrong with you?” She says she then asks them about their body count. The answer is usually in the “teens” however, she has had some in the 20’s and 30’s. She then asks them the same question, “What’s wrong with you?”see entire article at
