The myth of virginity
By IdeaSmith - 2:44 PM Monday 30 July 2007
The thing that bothers me is that people confuse virginity with purity and use the first to prove the second. Please, people, let's get this straight: Virginity is physical, purity is spiritual.
Really now, aren't we all adult enough (and that being in terms of having adequate knowledge of human anatomy and scientific breakthroughs as well as the maturity to see the full matter)? Re-virgination sounds like a ghastly concept to me, not just because of the physical implications of being 'stitched up' but also for what an ironical metaphor it is for reality. Patching up a tear to make it as good as new. Note the 'as good as'. What a farce and to what avail? Let's not even get into the reality of a hymen getting torn in sports and other strenuous physical activity.
The presence of an intact hymen doesn't really prove anything, except the fact that the lady's going to be shedding a bit of blood the next time she performs the act. It doesn't tell you that she's been faithful to the man (before he even knew her or not), it doesn't say that she's ladylike or has 'modest values'. Hell, even if you knew for fact that she'd never done it, it doesn't tell you a damn thing about her character.
I re-iterate:
Virginity has got absolutely nothing to do with purity.
Purity....spend a lifetime with a person discovering that...it's the kind of whiteness that can' t be sullied by other people's deeds and misdeeds. It lies deep inside a person's own actions. It's also called character and it takes a helluva lot more than a bleeding tissue to find it.

How true. Even today, divorcees and widows have a hard time remarrying because they are not "pure".
