Is being a virgin degrading?

[ZERO_Akira]

Because I've been called that many times by some hateful assholes. So, is it, or not?

 

[Theyoungman]

No because for some reason having sex is a sin... (rolls eyes)

 

[looseliam]

I can't speak for anyone else, however I find being a virgin a turn-off. For some reason I don't want to be the one by which all others are judged.

As for degrading, no it isn't.

 

[belamy]

You mean like more than being a slut? ... or a john..?

 

[1st love ron]

Yes it's meant to be degrading. Straight people call us that becuse we haven't had sex with the opposite sex.

 

[JackFTwist]

it is perfectly fine to be a virgin - be proud, when it does happen, it will be so much more meaningful

 

[cbtfan]

It is more degrading to lose, sell, give or throw away your virginity just in order to be able to say you are not a virgin.

 

[mrblaque]

the thing is, we virgins can have sex anytime we want and be divirginized anytime we want, but them the ones who are not virgins anymore, whatever they do, they can never reclaim they virginity anymore. So just enjoy who u are right now, unless youre 50 plus or something...

Yeah, Kindergarten can be rough sometimes.

Hmmm... not when you are young but, as time goes on, I would think it would become somewhat humiliating on a personal level. The ability to sexually connect with others of our species is the baseline of our existance.

 

[Nonimus]

ok to be a virgin but it can be boeing at times

Agreed!

I was a virgin twice in my life, in my sexual life until I was age 16, and once again, when I was a new member of Link Me All Over, the forerunner to Just Us Boys. It was a heck of a lot more fun the second time around, hehehe!

 

[Johnny Yen]

Bite me. ............

I'm not a biter, just a nipper. Well more of a nozzler, really.

 

[mabby7]

I can only think of two reasons they are giving you a hard time. Either their jealous of your virginity or they want to take your virginity.

i love what you said especially what i've highlighted ...

you know sometimes i feel like sex is the type of thing where you are "damned if you do and damned if you don't" ... people will talk about you if you've done it and people will talk about you if you haven't ...

so if people ask you ... questions about virginity ... maybe it's better to answer with a no comment ... hehe

Unless you've tried your absolute hardest to not be a virgin and you still are, then I don't see how it could be an insult. There are so many things that can go bad when you are not a virgin - being a slut, getting an STD. Virginity is certainly not degrading.

When I was in High School (I think Lincoln was the president then) no boy would ever admit to being a virgin after about the age of 16, even though they probably were. (Girls were much less accomodating in those days.) By college either you had sex or you didn't. No one really cared.

 

[TaigaStar]

Well, you could be called a slut or a whore on the other side of the spectrum... Seriously, I don't understand why people obsess over virginity. In all reality, it's another archaic notion meant to primarily apply to young women being treated as property; I say that unless you're some fourth century, thirteen year old peasant girl being married off to some widower in exchange for a cow, the term virgin shouldn't be used.

Hell no, being a virgin at 80 without something like a vow of celibacy is though. But being a virgin of choice or unfortunate circumstances is not disgrading.
