Maybe you want to know your number. Maybe you keep losing track of who you saw when, or you just like having a record that is yours and nobody else's. Whatever the reason, keeping track of your sexual partners is a normal thing to want, and it is easier when you stop trying to hold it all in your head.
Why people track their body count
Your "body count" is just the number of people you have been with. Plenty of people never think about it, and that is fine. But there are good reasons to keep a record:
- Self-knowledge. Seeing patterns in who and what you enjoy helps you work out what you actually want.
- Sexual health. If a test comes back positive, it helps to know which partners and dates fall in the relevant window, so you can tell the right people.
- Memory. Names, dates and details blur quickly, especially across a busy year or a few apps.
- Curiosity. Some people just enjoy the stats. No shame in it.
How to keep track of sexual partners
The old methods are a notes app, a spreadsheet or a group chat with yourself. They work until they do not: a locked note is not very locked, spreadsheets are annoying on a phone, and none of them can answer a question like "who did I see in the six weeks before my last test?"
A dedicated tracker gives you structure without making it a chore. The basic routine is simple:
- Add a profile for each person. A nickname is enough if you prefer not to store a full name.
- Log each meet with the date, how it went and whether you used protection.
- Add tags or notes so you can find people later.
- Check your stats now and then, and log STI tests when you get them.
What BodCount does
BodCount is a private iPhone app built for exactly this. Your body count is worked out for you from the partners you add, so you never need to count by hand.
- Partner profiles with photos, tags, notes and contact details.
- Encounter logging with date, location, activities, protection and your own rating. You can log more than one partner for a single meet.
- Stats dashboard showing your totals and trends over time.
- Calendar view so you can scroll back through your history.
- STI test log with in-app at-risk alerts, covered on our STI test tracker page.
- Face ID or PIN lock, plus a privacy mode that blurs content if someone glances at your screen.
Privacy: the whole point
A record like this is only useful if you trust where it lives. BodCount stores your diary on your iPhone. There is no account to create, and your entries are not sent to our servers. We use anonymous usage analytics (TelemetryDeck) that never include your diary content, names or personal details, and purchases run through RevenueCat with an anonymous ID. No ads, no selling your data. You can export everything as a ZIP with a JSON backup whenever you like. Read the full privacy policy if you want the detail.
Free vs Pro
You can download BodCount free and log your first three meets to see if it suits you. BodCount Pro unlocks unlimited entries. If you are comparing options, our comparison of sex tracker apps lays out what else is out there.
A few tips for tracking without overthinking it
- Log soon after. Details fade fast. A thirty-second entry the next morning beats a long one a month later.
- Be consistent about what counts. Decide what you include in your number and stick with it. Curious how others see it? Have a look at average body count numbers.
- Treat the number as information, not a score. It does not measure your worth, and nobody is owed it.
- Keep your health in the loop. Log tests when you get them. See how often to get tested for the basics.
BodCount is a personal diary, not a medical tool. It helps you remember what you have entered. It cannot verify dates or results and is not a substitute for advice from a healthcare professional. See the full disclaimer.
