New Documentary Explores WTF Is Up With the Virginity Obsession

Many of us are taught to hold our virginity close — to tuck it deep inside That Which Is Most Sacred until a modern day Jesus finally proposes and we can finally unclench our vaginal walls and let in the Married Penis Divine.

Of course, this causes a whole slew of problems with how we, as a society, view women and their worth and roles, and how totally skewed our values are. Be a virgin, don’t be a virgin, do what you want. It’s your body. This new documentary from Therese Shechter attempts to understand and explain our obsession with virginity, and maybe what we can do to pop it.
