Is promoting virginity harmful to young girls/women?
This article made me cry.
http://thoughtcatalog.com/samantha-pugsl...h-i-hadnt/
For those who know me you know that I did not wait to have sex for marriage, but instead I was pressured into marrying the man I lost my virginity to. That marriage was a traumatic experience for me, but even before everything else I felt like a whore. Not in a good way. I felt dirty and disgusting and I hated having sex. I liked sex (physically) unlike the woman in this article. My body enjoyed it and I felt so ashamed for that. That's why these virginity pledges make me so sick. Why do people insist on teaching young girls that it is shameful for them to be sexual?

In the "arab" world you need to have an intact hymen (there has to be blood) to get married. Or else

So our females stay virgins.

People who never have good sex I guess...

Because they want to control by force, threats, guilt, and shame what they can not hold onto by their own virtue.

Teaching that sex or sexuality is in any way wrong is one of the worst things religion does. "Be fruitful and multiply." How the fuck are we supposed to do that if we wind up stuck with someone we're not sexually compatible with?!?

Society will have taken a huge leap forward when sex is finally recognized as the biological function it is instead of treating it as some taboo that must be hidden away.

Instead of putting it on a pedestal, fucking should be considered a sport.

It isn't being 'slaughtered' that makes them nervous.

I'd say repressing natural urges, and remaining ignorant of one of the biggest part of being a species, would be harmful to anyone.

Take the simple act of masturbation. It's healthy, and carries no harmful side effects. It's not like you can catch an STD or get someone pregnant through masturbation. But we're so repressed that even the idea of relieving sexual tension in a harmless manner is considered wrong and ugly.
