    So bizarre, this infatuation with a piece of tissue. Women have faked this thing for hundreds of years-I want to know where the hell my hubby's hymen is! Strange only the women's virginity is important.

    I hear this same argument from all kinds of abstinence only educators, people who don't want girls getting the HPV vaccine, and various churchy people. Why is it, I wonder, that in their minds the ONLY thing keeping ALL WOMEN from becoming TOTAL NYMPHOS is 1. a hymen or 2. fear of stds or 3. jesus ???

    Also if that is true, as a unhymened atheist condom user, why aren't I getting laid more?

    @sumerfish: We're total sluts, don't you remember?

    Except that apparently we actually don't really even like having sex, just using it to get the trash taken out.

    Garbage is the real enemy, obviously.

    Will my artificial virginity set me up with an artificial high school boy who doesn't trap my hair under his elbows, giggle nervously, or put his condom on inside out?

    Hymens are easy to break BEFORE sex. Horseback riding is a common culprit. I broke mine while snowboarding.

    @Snizzy-Snazz Bullets: No idea when mine broke, but suspect it has something to do with the ballet teacher offering prizes to those of us who could do a total straddle-split and then touch our stomachs to the floor.

    (I won a nutcracker tree ornament, by the way.)

    @Snizzy-Snazz Bullets: Ok, I did all these things - skiing, horseback riding, ballet, and it STILL didn't break until I lost my virginity at age 18. It was painful and bled for about a day. Totally not fair.

    @Adah: Good lord, I had no idea so many people actually still have it intact the first time they have sex. I figured almost everyone broke it doing some version of sporty awkwardness since girls started wearing pants, and thought films and books just kept using it because it was an excuse for drama. Hunh.

    This is a legitimate concern. My artificial virginity hymen served me mulled wine and marijuana and told me I was pretty. In a rare moment of clarity, I left his houseboat & called a cab.

    Is there any product that Religious leaders DON'T think will cause "illicit sexual relations"?

    Don't give the children hot pockets... they'll start dry humping.

    No snuggies for you! You little fornicators!

    @schlegs84: I think I've told this story on Jez before...a boyf once ate a hot pocket off my stomach, which led to innuendo, and finally, actual humping. So an argument could be made about giving children access to said pastry.

    @frankie22: I know I didn't. I wasn't some athletic, rough-and-tumble kid, either. I just didn't produce blood. I'd hate to think what could have happened to me had I been born in another place and that had been my wedding night.

    I wonder how many virgin brides are punished for not bleeding because their husbands just don't much about the female body?

    This is a cutting-edge breakthrough. I'm now on the lookout for an artificial hernia kit, to relive fond memories.

    It might be kinda funny to get this for when I eventually decide to get past my "men are jerks and not worth my time" phase and start actually having a sex life again.



    Being someone's first takes on a whole new meaning when the lady is 36. Talk about freaking someone out.

    I just watched "Caramel" last night (great movie, btw!) and one of the characters, Nisrine, is getting married to a Muslim man and is not a virgin and is terrified about her wedding night as a result. She ends up covertly pouring bird blood on the sheets to fool him. She'd probably love something like this.
