Virginity Tests Should Be Illegal: Clearing Up Misconceptions About Virginity
Debunking the sex-related misconceptions.
Sex. The topic the humanity has always been obsessed about. With men thinking about sex on average 19 times a day and women — about 10, it’s no wonder sex gets a lot of attention from us.
Unfortunately, not everything we know about sex is correct. In fact, there are quite a few lies we’ve been told over the years. Many so-called facts were debunked as myths a long time ago, but despite that, not everyone is familiar with the truth. And that starts from the very basics, including virginity. As we know it, virginity doesn’t exist — particularly female virginity that a woman “loses” during her first penetrative sex.
Virginity as a concept was introduced to us incorrectly a long time ago. But if you ask an average Joe what losing virginity means, he would probably say something along the lines of “it’s when the woman’s hymen gets torn.” That is incorrect, particularly because we haven’t been focusing on the female body enough, especially before the twenty-first century. Science disproved this traditional yet misleading definition of virginity, but many individuals are still unaware of it. Not to mention, we, as humans, are much more than our bodies.
