When Does One Stop Being A Virgin?

The definition of a virgin is “A person who has not experienced sexual intercourse.” Back in the days when I was growing up, virginity was simply described as the insertion of a penis in a vagina. Once the hyphen was broken, a girl was no longer a virgin, and neither was the boy for that matter. But is that it?

For a guy, all he has to do is insert his penis in a hole, and he’s no longer a virgin. What about Gays? If two males have sex, and they are both virgins, doesn’t that constitute a taken virginity? Would the receiving male still be considered a virgin since he did not perform any penetration?

And lesbians? If one or both are lesbians and have never been with a guy, are they considered virgins if there has not been any penetration? Well, technically they have sex and please each other, so they really should not be considered virgins.

Let’s take this one step further and think about a female virgin. Would you still consider her a virgin if her vagina has not been penetrated, but she has performed oral for Tom, Dick and Harry? Let’s face it, women will always be pressured to have sex, even if they make it known that they are saving themselves for marriage. However in order to please, they like to give a little taste of the goods. They might let their boyfriends fondle their naked breasts, and even go as far as to give hand-jobs or blowjobs.

Once marriage comes around, they are very experienced in many forms of sex, but have never actually had intercourse. We live in new century where everything was so 10 minutes ago, and there’s a new trend popping up in social circles on a daily basis. What was not acceptable 10 years ago, it is now very common place.

Now personally, I believe there are two kinds of people; the ones that think virginity is taken by penetration, and the ones that think any sexual act will void any virginity status.

Many would like to argue that Virginity is only taken when there’s actual vaginal penetration; not including anal and oral. It could be that they are just trying to fool themselves into thinking that their precious child has not done anything else till the time of marriage.

Now those that think ANY sexual act would take away a virginity, well let’s face it, those people live in the “bible belt” of the USA, and they think god will strike you dead if you see a penis or boobies before marriage. Now I’m sure a lot will agree with me that it’s great to be able to marry a virgin as long as she can suck, blow, and jerk-off like nobody’s business. He/She has to be able to do something else very well, or divorce will just be sooner than expected.

Truth is, with all the articles out there on the internet, and high school courses teaching “sexual health”, any young adult will have the urge to try anything sexual earlier than we would like them to, and there’s not a damn thing in hell that we can do to stop that.

Is virginity just vaginal intercourse, or can you extend it to all sexual acts? Back in the early 1900’s a woman was pure until marriage in all manners. Centuries ago, Greeks would save their virginity by allowing their partners to perform anal and oral sex (mainly guy on guy sex).

So who’s got the right to say what makes or breaks a virgin?
