The Forbidden Hoe Phase

The Almighty Body Count. Where do I start? The female sex is something that has been a subject of vigorous discussion probably from the beginning of time. I also read somewhere that prostitution is one of the oldest industries, existing from the beginning of civilization to now, always evolving from crude depictions like the Greek statue of a phallus ringed with a broken heart, and presenting itself in newer, shinier and probably more palatable forms, like Onlyfans at the moment.

I don't think this emoji is related to my article, I just thought it was funny, and it came up when I google image searched "hoe".

Female promiscuity is deeply frowned upon, and women with a higher body count are usually considered as "low value" for some reason. For all the condemnation I have seen online, people say that they loathe women with high body counts but they cannot say exactly why. Female promiscuity gets demonized up and down the streets, and to be frank, I am a little befuddled. I have a few questions.

Sometimes, probably frequently, as women, we get the urge to, well, f*ck. It is a very natural part of life. When a woman acts on this urge and racks up a body count, willingly and because she wanted to explore that part of life, she is deemed as low value, a hoe, a harlot (throwback to the Bible times, can I say During Christ?) and all kinds of creative names, which I think are supposed to make the woman feel bad about her choices and to act as a deterrent to other women who may have had the same idea.

It is something I would like to believe that most, if not all women, (hello?anyone?) go through. Do I act on my natural urges and risk being called a hoe? Do I try to do it still, have fun (or not) and sneak by and lie to everyone about my body count? Do I not do anything and stick to a single-digit body count so that I can get the approval of society and a potential mate? Is this something that I have to get out of my system when I am in my early or mid-twenties otherwise it will come to haunt me? We were told the same things about Kalongo and other childhood rites of passage. I have a picture of a fifty-year-old woman in bright red lipstick trying to get the dredges of her inner hoe out. I am also a little confused right now.

While I am typing this out I am also wondering why this is such a big deal in the first place.

I think there are a lot of things I don't understand and I would like answers to.

Is sex such a monumental thing that it requires these many questions answered? Is female promiscuity so disgusting and so unpalatable that we have very specific, very hurtful words for it? What exactly is so unappealing about a high female body count? I am a certified ho if it only happens in my head? I think direct answers without animosity would clear things up for a lot of females including myself, so..let's talk about that.
