Morphology
Although 'body' + 'count' literally suggests a tally of bodies (e.g., casualties), the slang sense 'number of sexual partners' is a metonymic/idiomatic shift that cannot be predicted from the literal meanings. This informal, culturally specific usage is not deducible by a B1 learner who only knows the constituents, so it is opaque.
Etymology
One popular image for the slang body count is people counting each body like a point on a list, making a count of past partners. So the phrase means 'the number of people someone has had sex with'.
