elsewhere I believe this is heavan to no one else but me......people think im gay because i wont fuck any guys....sorry not gay, just smart, why does no one respect virginty, do i think people would like me more if I got laid everyonce in a while? hell no, why do I nedd to worry about disease, pregnancy, and being used just for sexual pleasure, I dont think my self esteem could handle that...I would rather be who I am and focus my mind on more important things like building a life...Sex is an act of love...or so it goes, now it is an act of lust, i would rather wait all my life for the right man, than have the attention of fifty million people who only want to use me for my body, ye3ah ..its a real caring thing...I dont blame anyone for having sex...they know thier actions, and they know the reprocussiont s of thier actions, you know people get pregnat and say "oh how could this have happened?" well? what do you think sperm is for, its not put there just to be pretty it has a purpose, that is long forgotten, how many planned pregnancys have you seen? would you rather have a baby inside of mairrage, or outside when you know the father will leave you hanging....yeah I know sex is pleasurable, but it is a gift that you and youre spouse should share....why do we insist on taking the love out of every wonderfull thing god has given us....so just play your little game of russian roulllette but try to think, next time that gun goes off...it might just be loaded....as so I speak as a virgin of 21 years old...dont tell me i dont know what im talking about because I have seen it...had to watch it destroy lives, and seen the tears that it brings...you might find that youll learn alot more by observing than by doing........ 990410

drew i remember seeing this episode of 20/20 when i was (by mere coincidence) 20, and it was about "the new virginity movement" or some other equally cheesy name. it was about a buncha young teens who were making promises of celibacy to god and their parents, and to hear them talk about it, you knew they had know idea what was going on. as a virgin at the time, it really pissed me off that this was america's idea of what it means to be a virgin - to be a christian automaton that supresses thinking about being human out of fear of the flesh. a promise ring won't keep your body's hormones from flowing through your blood. don't deny your body... you're gonna be it in for your whole life, so you might as well learn how it works and how you can control it. 990411

daxle what the hell is a spouse? someone you're with for tax purposes and can divorce at will. if you find someone you love in a deep and true way, have sex, keeping biology in mind. 990430

heidi amen, elsewhere. It may not be a big deal to everyone but it's a big deal to me, therefore I shall remain a v-dawg until i find someone worthy of me. 990517

me I don't like to think of it as a possession, but I am ready to let go of it. Only problem is, there's no one to share it with. 990527

Jeff @ Newdream Sometimes, I wish it still applied to me, if only I could let it go. There's nothing like it - esp. with the correct individual. 990528

emsie My virginity isn't THAT important to me, but it's important enough to me that I'm not gonna have sex just for the sake of losing my virginity. But sometimes, it feels like I'm the only one who is a virgin (I know how cliched that sounds, but it's true). I wish I had someone to share it with too. 990706

jules virginity is important, but it's not that big of a deal.

for one, there is no point in having sex just to be like your friends. you may feel excluded, but how much worse would you feel if you never heard from that guy again, or didn't want to?

secondly, it comes down to your relationship with the person. Will it enhance your relationship? Is it just another way of showing love to them?

Sex is not so much a physical act as it is a mental one, and I think losing your virginity changes your mind state a bit.

jessica virginity is not taken away, and i can't be touched. i can't feel you. sex is wrong inside of me. virginity is my way of keeping the innocence he took from me. it's my way of saying no to him when i didn't know what it meant. 990920

tom the only people who make a big thing out of being a virgin are those that don't have it anymore

why is that?

elimeny purity. do you have it? I had it once. Then someone comes along and takes the only thing that mattered from me and says "it's okay. because I love you" and you know what? it's easy to say you arent nieve. but when you fall for the oldest line in the book, it makes you feel pretty jilted. The thing is, when it's gone, it's gone. It's something you can always lose, but never get back. I guarantee you there will always be a guy out there willing to get laid. But once your virginity disentegrates, your purity and innocence follow right after. Those are the things I miss the most. But you can't just forget you had sex-you can't just get back those attributes again. You have to rediscover what they mean, and reinvent them for yourself. But once the virginity is gone, it's gone. so there. 991207

deb jessica is so so right:
virginity is a choice not
a thing to be lost at any moment
some say that any sex means
oops, not a virgin

i say, if you didn't know what was
FUCKING goin on,
when you're too young to understand
that is NOT losing anything
-that is losing innocence and
childhood and gaining fear
of someone once trusted

even if you aren't young,
if you say no,
you made a choice,
but to keep what is yours

you only lose your virginity
if you agree

they can take away everything else,
but they can't change your mind-

~bottom line: you say no, you lost nothing~

purple tzar I read that in a Madeline L'engle book that after losing one's virginity, one can never touch a unicorn.
Shit.
Oh well.

chloe A reality blown way out of porportion and completley exploited by our society.
It is no longer the symbol of love conquered but what substantiates one's conquest.It is the perfume adorned by those in waiting...either considered sacred or seen as another one of the artificial flavors in our modern world,that masks the raw truth in everything....

MollyGoLightly Southern Baptist girls at my high school held on to their technical virginity in odd ways. According to their logic, a penis in your butt is okay, but a penis in your vagina is not. A penis in your mouth: All clear in the eyes of god! A penis in your vagina: impure, damaged goods. WTF? 000322

chicken pot pie sometimes, I look at her and wonder where in here body it is. I decided that it is a yellow ball of light in her stomach. that makes me wonder where it was when it was still in my body.
regrets? none. never. i don't believe in them. And none otherwise, either.

birdmad i remember that the evening i lost mine, all those years ago, if written down in exacting detail, would read like a cross between a letter to penthouse and the "electric kool-aid acid test"

sometimes i actually do miss the eighties

oodles My friends used to tell me that even though my wait was long, it was going to be worth it. They thought that once I finally found "that special someone" it was going to be the ideal love surpassing any of their experiences by far. Sometimes I believed them.

My first time ended up being with this guy that I barely know while we were both drunk at a fraternity party. I'm now a statistic of college freshmen that lose their virginity when they're intoxicated. Yeah, real ideal, guys.

I felt like a whore.

But not because I had sex--because I do everything in the wrong order...always.

sugarcake Lost mine last night, sex is over-rated. Enjoyed it but don't see what the fuss is all about. No regrets-when it feels right, do it. 000429

MollyGoLightly Lots of entries waxing wistful about the loss of "innocence" and "purity" that leaves one when the virginity goes.

I take exception to that.
000429
...
birdmad i can't take any exception.
it was fun, it was definitely what some might call "life-affirming"
but there was nothing pure or innocent about the way i lost mine.

and i wouldn't want to remember it any other way

Miniatus the taste of passion on the lips, the electric feel of flesh rolling over your senses, the indecision, the desision, the verdict-pleasure. Ah the pimeval pasion of letting yourself go down the path of self indulgence....yes self indulgence-the reason for losing your virginity. 000713

wonderous it's something that people carelessly throw around as if it's nothing but another that bites the dust.

but when you have unwanted results 9 months later, never again in someone of the opposite sex will you trust.
