In this discussion on Virginity, there were a lot of different views on the topic. There were five different people that shared different experiences on the meaning of virginity. It was interesting to realize that two of the five people had already lost their virginity, but they still had the same outlooks on it as the virgins. I have my own views on virginity, but this discussion emphasized the value and honor of what it truly means to have your virginity. Although this topic is very personal, I have no problem discussing and talking about it as it is a debate amongst my group of friends everyday.
When I was younger I was faced with a lot of peer pressure in high school to lose my virginity, whether I liked it or not. My friends didn’t exactly pressure me as much as society did, as I felt as though I had to lose my virginity before college or else I wouldn’t be “cool” or “grown up.” Today, as I have matured and really “grown up,” I have come to realize that having sex and virginity isn’t everything. I definitely believe that sex is an important aspect of life and can definitely be the best way to tell if you truly have a connection with a person, and I think that many virgins may be hesitant to have sex because of the emotional repercussions. But whether one loses their virginity or not, “getting it over with” is not the right way. I don’t think that every person should lose their virginity with their boyfriend or girlfriend or someone they love because, chances are, that wont be the only person you have sex with and things usually don’t work out within someone’s first relationship. Which is okay! But having sex with someone just because you don’t want to call yourself a virgin isn’t right either. That not only is bad on you but it treats someone else like just an object as well. In my opinion, lose your virginity to someone you feel as though you have some connection with but don’t get hung up over the fact that they may not be “the one.”...
