“Virginity” – Dignity or Lack of Opportunity?

Posted by T. Waffle on September 4, 2007

I came across one blog where someone mentioned “Virginity is not a dignity it’s a lack of opportunity” is it really? Let’s start with the meaning of “Virginity”. According to online sources “Virginity means a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse.” also known as “a state of being pure”

To some people it is a state of being pure, but for some its not. It depends on personal choice. Many people especially in South-Asian community prefer to stay virgin because they are being told to do so. Obviously, it is a different topic which I will post soon. But for some people sex is a feeling, an experiment and/or an experience, which they practice with multiple or single partner without any hesitation. To me it is not a big deal because it’s personal choice.

Let me share one of my personal experience, at my previous work place one person wore t-shirt which said “Virginity is not a dignity, it’s a lack of opportunity” from that one 45+ year old lady got offended and complained to the management people. Management staff introduced the rule of not wearing t-shirts with any slogan. When I heard about the new rule I was rolling on the floor laughing (I wasn’t rolling on the floor). I still don’t understand the comment was not on her then why was she offended? Oh well anyways, she made a big issue over the small tissue. (Just joking, don’t get offended now)

Another important point I want to cover is when we use the word virgin, first gender comes in mind is female. Why most of people think we are only talking about female when we mention virgin, a male can also choose to be one. In today’s world it is considered a shame for a male to be a virgin, why is that? If a man chooses to be a virgin so be it. You can’t make him feel guilty for his personal choice.

All I want to express here is don’t force anyone or make them guilty for their personal choice. If someone is misguided try to show the correct path. There is nothing to get offended from a joke which was made on your belief or choice directly or indirectly. Only do if you believe in you and don’t get offended by others action.
