What exactly has been "lost"? Shouldn't that be an achievement like every other time we begin a new phase in our lives like starting new job, new school, buying new car etc. And yet exploration of one's sexuality, the beginning of one's sexual life, an almost universally cherished feature of human existence, registered as a "loss".
Or "Losing innocence" - How does one become less innocent after experiencing a sexual connection for the first time?
No use in trying to make sense of it. Policing women's sexuality is all about keeping women down.
