I recently did a blog
about purity rings, in that blog I touch on “born again virgins” and you guys
had a lot to say on the matter so I figured I may as well turn it into a blog
of its own.
Once again I have
nothing against people who decided not to have sex before marriage. My problem
is with the title and the lengths some people go to.
The title is stupid,
you’re not a “born again virgin”, you’re playing hard to get. Really hard to
get, a ring and “I do” hard to get but it’s not like you’re nun or anything.
You may regret your
first but you don’t get a do over. It doesn’t work like that. Once a penis cuts
the ribbon you can’t superglue it back together.
No amount of praying
will grow your hymen. Some women understand that and go to extreme lengths and
have something called a hymenorrhaphy. Basically they have their hymen
reconstructed. Women who go that far clearly have more money than brains. Why
would anyone do that? Was the feeling of your hymen ripping the first time that
enjoyable? That’s just plain old crazy.
I’ll never understand
why they need a title anyways. No one cares what is or has entered and left your
vagina. If you believe you made a mistake by having sex unmarried why on earth
would you give it a title and draw attention to that mistake? It just doesn’t
make any sense in my books.
The term was coined
by fundamentalist Christians who put a lot of importance on stay pure. That’s
all well and good but they also teach that God forgives and that forgiveness
makes you pure again. It’s kind of like forgive and forget. He’ll forgive you
and not hold it against you but he still knows you had sex.
He also knows you
asked for forgiveness. He’s like Santa Clause; he knows when you’ve been good
or bad so if he knows, why the hell does the rest of world have to know. What
God’s forgives isn’t good enough for you; you need a special title too? You’re
not a “born again virgin” you’re wannabe virgin and that’s pathetic.
I’d also like to
point out, nobody in their right mind chooses to give up sex; sex chooses to
give up you. And instead of admitting you’re in a dry spell, you play the “born
again virgin” card. Everyone sees through that. We all know what it really
means. So give it up.
I thought we were meant
to embrace our mistake, that’s how we learn and grow as people. “Born again
virgin” is a copout. No matter how many birthday candles you wish on you’re not
a virgin. You’re someone who feels they
made a mistake by having sex before marriage. That is fine. But put on your big
girl panties, drop the stupid the title and own it.
Anyways that’s my
rant on the matter why do you guys think?
Stay safe, Love,
The Honest Bitch
