What is virginity?
A “virgin” is someone who has never had sex.
Very good! They got something right.
Now comes the typical modernist, relativist "but we know better nowadays":
But, it’s not as simple as it seems.
Three "reasons" are given:
- "’Virginity’ is not medically real." "Many times, virginity has to do with a person being ‘pure’, and this idea of purity is often used to control and shame people — mainly women."
- Hymen "doesn't mean anything."
- "You get to decide what sex, and virginity, mean to you."
So, bottom line? Virginity is just an idea that really only matters if you want it to. And at the end of the day, you define it for yourself.
🤮
I don't cite this; the full thing is not worth reading. The associated video featuring a grossly obese transvestite explaining all this is even more repulsive.
Contrast this with realists, who don't succuмb to this moral and ontological relativism:
virginity is continence whereby integrity of the flesh is vowed, consecrated and observed in honor of the Creator of both soul and flesh.
De virginitate viii, as quoted in
II-II q. 152 a. 1 s.c.
