oh, i guess my definition
was more along the lines of "medical"
virginity. BUT, i guess that wouldn't make
sense for the girls who don't have a
hymen.
Bingo. That's why the hymen definition of
virginity is silly, backwards, inaccurate
and actually harmful to the image of
women, purity, and virginity.

Virginity is a
very loose opinion, is it not? I always
thought losing your virginity just had to
do with penetration of the vagina by a
penis.
But i guess i am proved wrong because not
every girl has a
hymen!
Indeed!

Virginity can be defined medically or
philosophically. You can say it just means
when a penis goes in the vaigina, those
two people are no longer virgins. But the
physical term isn't really important or
meaningful- it's never necessary to know
medically if a woman is a virgin unless
you're testing for std's or pregnancy. The
term 'virgin' is only really important
psychologically/pilosophically, which
means you can decide it means whatever you
want it to mean, in which case, most
people would say that a raped woman is a
virgin because she didn't make the choice
not to be.

Why not? Virginity is not just a physical
thing, it is also mental. I firmly believe
you have to participate in sex in order to
lose your virginity. The hypothetical girl
was raped. She didn't have sex. There's a
difference.
No, it's not "immaculate conception" since
clearly a penis and semen was involved.
But this is a non-religious definition of
virginity, since I am not religious.

okay. this is making sense now. sorry, ive
just always assumed that "sex" and
"virginity" go together. so she had sex
but is still a virgin in the mind sense.
okay.

No, she didn't have sex, so she
is still a virgin. She was raped. Rape
does not equal sex.

no thats untrue
so if a girl is raped shes not a virgin
anymore?
I think that if a girl is raped you are
still considered a virgin. You didn't want
to be raped and you can't take back time
but still, isn't loosing your virginity
supposed to be an expected thing?! Well,
not quite. But my point is WHO CARES IF
YOUR A VIRGIN OR NOT! If you have never
had sex.. intentionally YOU ARE A VIRGIN.
If you have then pick one. Virgin or non-
virgin. I really don't know. I think we
should just leave it as a decision now.
