Why are you such an asshole? The female is no longer a virgin, when her hymen is popped by the insertion of a males' penis. You can pop it during fingering and maybe in oral. But until it is popped during penile-vaginal intercourse she is still a virgin.
Virginity is, for the most part, the hymen in most culture.
Do you think the Virgin Mary didn't have a hymen?
Did you know that many, many, MANY cultures actually look at a woman's vagina to visibly see a hymen before they will say she is clean and fit for a holy marriage?
Women have even been killed because they didn't have an intact hymen in particular societies. They were believed to have been unfaithful and not pure.
I'd like to go with what the "norm" is for virginity. If people can be killed because they lack a hymen (and what the culture considers the visible sign of virginity) then there isn't anything I can do about that. I am not going to stand up and preach to a culture who believes a woman is unclean because she popped her cherry during masturbation before she got married. That would be ridiculous.
Consider the world as a whole before making a decision like this.
It's like many girls say, "I'm a virgin!" but they've had anal sex, oral sex, and mutual masturbation over 100 times. Do you think that person would be considered clean, holy, pure, or similar to The Virgin Mary?
I don't know about you but I really, truly do not believe Jesus' mother had anal sex but still considered herself to be a virgin.
See what I'm saying?
It's all in how you look at it. You, the youth culture of America, may believe that a person is sexually clean until they have penetrative sex. The rest of the world does not see it that way at all, and I have to agree in many aspects of that. I don't believe someone should be murdered though.
The hymen is actually not as easily broken as many people say it is. It's thin and fairly elastic when the woman is young. I really cannot see horseback riding solely popping hundreds of girls' hymens like much of the media claims. I mean, people ALWAYS list horseback riding one of the reasons why someone might not have a hymen. Think about it. Ever rode a horse and then noticed blood in your panties? I am curious how many girls have and I'd bet money that it isn't as common as the media has led people to believe.
In any sense, virginity, to me, is sexual purity.
In most culture that is what virginity is.
If you're masturbating and sticking things into your vagina then you're not really considered sexually pure. If you're having anal sex then you're not sexually pure. If you're giving blowjobs, being eaten out, or engaging in other various sexual activities then you are absolutely not sexually pure.
Virginity = sexual purity
Sexual purity = exactly what it says
The hymen is, typically, broken doing some sort of sexual activity. This would mean most women that have no hymen/broken hymens have engaged in some sort of sexual conduct. Ta-da. My reasoning. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
