Thread on why the concept or virginity is stupid
Discourse on losing virginity being cool is honestly a big problem and I think it should be talked about more. Although calling people virgins can be funny and playful, discourse like this puts a lot of pressure on people to have sex as early as possible, almost treating it as-
an achievement in the game of life. People berate peer pressure for drugs, alcohol, and so many other things but never really talk about the pressure to have sex. There have been plenty of mistakes that have happened due to this pressure and they are impossible to forget
At the end of the day virginity is a social construct that literally has no meaning (unless you’re religious maybe) and you should have sex whenever you feel like it. If you’re feeling uncomfortable at all just don’t. The need to lose virginity-
affects you as a person as well, causing you to classify everyone as a potential sexual partner, which is ironically counterproductive because no one wants to have sex with a horndog. It’s also counterproductive when you feel pathetic that you’re a virgin and create a negative-
feedback loop causing you to lose confidence. I’m not advocating for abstinence nor having sex a ton, but I’m not against them either. As long as your methods are safe and consensual do whatever you want. The problem arises when society plants a seed in your head that virginity-
is a goal of life. That’s when people start making mistakes they end up regretting. If you’re a virgin, cool. If you aren’t, cool. People are too caught up in other people’s sex lives, which is obviously a very private and vulnerable thing that you don’t have to tell them shit-
about. This goes both ways and applies to slut-shaming as well. If you call people virgins or sluts unironically, keep your eyes on your own genitalia.
