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