As someone else said, the real answer is that this is a comic.
We don’t really know from the OP whether they have been together for an hour, day, week, month, or even year (and he just never found the hoodies box yet?). Irl women are stigmatized with “slut shaming” for having multiple partners, and while men get stigmatized too this is not one of those ways. So irl she might have kept it from him until she was sure that he was mature enough to handle the truth. Although she could have also used it as a test - if he were a toxic masculinity believer, better for her to know the truth right away and get far away from him?
So there’s deep stuff contextually related to this… but this is a newspaper comic community, so it is unclear how deep most people really wanted to get into the deep analysis of its backstory, unlike e.g. political memes where that is more the point.
Not certain it’s slut shaming so much as addressing lying. She told him 3 guys, when the mountain of stolen sweaters, and her profuse sweating implies it was more than three.
I don’t care about body count and I’m uncertain if the author does, but this joke is still funny if you don’t care about body count.
Who even gives a shit about body count? As long as things are STD-free, it’s all good
I believe it is the lying that little dude is concerned about…
Case in point: she might also be lying about those STDs that she “totally” checked for (like AIDS) and “definitely” does not have, wink.:-P
Yeah, but why did she feel like she can’t tell him the true number?
Because they aren’t real people and it is a comic.
No, because there are actual people who judge a woman if she likes sex.
Liking sex and being a hoe are two different things. Man or woman.
There’s nothing wrong with that, just with treating people like disposable objects
Yeah people do that. About everything. Get over it.

Oh ah… I mean, b/c hers is bigger than his. :-P
Apparently slut shaming is still a thing in the current year of our Lord.

Apparently saying “of our lord” is still a thing in this blessed noodle year.
You’re telling me, it’s 26AX! Pra"Bob"!
I’m definitely not interested in someone who refers to their sexual partners as their body count.
I first read this as her murder victem count lol.
I also prefer people who already know what they’re doing.
Definitely a thing where you’re never going to be happy with the answer, so why ask?
