This thread makes my eyes hurt.
Virginity is nothing. It is not a thing. You don't "lose" anything when you have sex, it is a natural act.
Virginity is a social concept, you have not lost anything, you have simply done something new. You've made your SEXUAL DEBUT. Why is it that sex is such a major part of society and defines who people are?! Every mammal can have sex, it doesn't make us special so why people make pledges before marriage is completely beyond me.
If you believe a girl is tainted because she is not a "virgin" then take a look at men. Sex is a two way act, both a man and a woman take part in it, so if women are tainted, so are men. If men aren't tainted, then surely it's their being and hands that have made women tainted???
I hope I just broke down the stupid argument that having sex is a shameful act for WOMEN.
It is NATURAL. You get pleasure out of it and can make babies from it. Why deprive yourself from a natural act? It's part of human needs and being a "virgin" doesn't make you a saint and being a "non-virgin" doesn't make you a sinner. It's not a thing you can "save"!!! It doesn't define who you are so don't let it!!!
I don't understand how people still believe in such an outdated concept. It only emphasises the objectification of women, that once they are sexually active, they are 'different', 'touched' and 'unpure'.
Have as much sex as you want, just be safe about it.
