Born Again Virgin
No- I'm not considering this delusional concept for myself- but I read an article about it the other day and I find the whole idea amusing (link to the article is at the bottom of this blog).
The idea of becoming a born again virgin is ridiculous to me. Abstinence- great. Saving virginity for marriage- great. But reclaiming virginity? Doesn't that completely miss the point of virginity?
I have heard of the surgical procedure that some women are doing to have their hymens sewn back together to give their husbands the "gift" of having sex with a virgin, and frankly, the whole thing totally creeps me out.
Unless you are a woman living in a country where it means life or death to have your virginity in tact, I don't understand the point of virginity reclaimation if you have already been around the block a couple of times.
I am appalled at the idea of the hymen surgery that more and more women are choosing to have to "get" their virginities back.
(the article refers to the finished 'product' of a restitched hymen as stretching broken hymen tight like a drum with a hole left in the middle...that hurts just thinking about it!).
And who in the HELL would ever want to go through losing their virginity again?
How exactly does a man go about reclaiming his virginity? I mean, if he wanted to give his wife the "gift" of having sex with a man who is a virgin, how does he do that?
I don't understand how these people can think that they can claim being a born again Virgin once they have already done the physical act of sex. If virginity is such a big deal, and is so sacred, then I would think that being able to legitimately reclaim your virginity as you see fit- and/or restitching your virginal female 'proof of purchase' seal- would devalue virginity in a whole, because then ANYONE could lose their virginity and POOF! Take it back and be a virgin all over again.
It's physically impossible. I don't care if you have sewn your ya-ya back up. Wouldn't that be like opening up a UPS box and then trying to re-box tape it exactly how it was when you got it using the same tape? Just leave it be.
I don't understand how, if you have already had sex, you could ever revert back to the mindset that accompanies being a virgin~ I mean, isn't that part of it? The uncertainty, awkwardness, curiosity, cluelessness of it all? When you lose your virginity you are going into totally uncharted territory. If you have already explored the turf of having sex for the first time, you will never get that first time back.
By the time you are in your twenties and are no longer a virgin, just fucking own it already. If you have already had children, you pretty much have to own it because calling yourself a virgin after birthing physical, breathing, living proof of losing your virginity is just delusional and pointless- who are you trying to fool? It's a total joke. Sorry honey, even the daughter of a minister who has lost "it" can never get it back, no matter how much she prays otherwise (I say minister's daughter because of the article's focus subject). She's just as "tainted" in the eyes of her god as the rest of us "sinners" who gave it up before marriage.
I feel sorry for teenagers who are/will learn about this whole Born Again Virgin thing~ like being a teenager isn't confusing enough on its own with all of the other noise you must sort through while trying to find yourself.
I think that promoting being able to become a Born Again Virgin tells kids who are taught abstinence in school hypocrisy...Don't have sex! But just in case you fuck up, literally, you can always become a born again virgin!
More proof of how ass-backwards things in our society have gotten.
Born Again Virgin.
