Are You a Virgin?

DateThursday, December 31, 2009 at 07:01PM

With the New Year about to begin, I thought you'd enjoy seeing this video trailer by Therese Shechter, called "How to lose Your Virginity."

You know, like Madonna sings, we're all new again in the New Year--"like a virgin for the very first time."

Virginity is a social construct that has been use to disempower women through the ages. I can't wait till Therese gets the film finished and encourage you to help her do so. Check out her blog and while you're there take the quiz to see how honest you are about sex. if you really want to know that is :-)

I like the article and video which tells about the favour of virginity.I agree with the stand that Virginity is a social construct that has been use to dis-empower women through the ages.People believe that virgins all have a thick, relatively inflexible hymen covering almost the entire vaginal opening.But after the intercourse,the scenario changed.
