On virginity, the mind and body.
I find it so difficult for one to remain a virgin in a country were desires are not restricted and encouraged. While, it is not encourage by your parents, maybe except the father to a son, as I saw the affection and emotion of pride in the american television show " Married with children".
But this encouragement comes from friends, media, and especially from classroom discussions.
For instance, a man is call a player or deemed dominant or a respected figure if he sleeps with many woman students; yet while the woman who sleeps with many men will considered to be a slut, and a ill figure in the school and to the people.
Now the media, there are many buisness sponsors will somehow affilated to persuade the people to buy baby products, sex products, and persuading the public maybe even teen pregnancy, in order for buisness to run, as least that is what I think in my buisness mind.
Friends, however, some will debate and some will just want to hear for the sake of pleasure, and some will even judge and persuade you to overrule your beliefs.
Yet, if we think of the idea of a virgin metaphysically, it seems to be an innate idea that serves some sort of divine entity. Yet, adapting to the desires of the body, it conflicts. The mind and the body conflicts with each other. It is so difficult to adjust the needs of the body and the terms of the mind !
I originaly did not want to write this as a essay like format, I originally intented to write my situation, and hear the opinions of others in the threads, but it seems to me that I will have to transform this idea into another way.
