I just read a story by Kate McGovern published in the New York Times called My Virginity Went from Choice to Burden. Among other things, she talks about the embarrassment of being 25 years old and having to admit to a nurse that there is no possibility she is pregnant:
I definitely was not pregnant. Pregnancy, in fact, was a scientific impossibility for me. Not because I’d had a slow month or two (though this was what I implied to Sabrina, with a carefully calculated roll of the eyes) but because at age 25, quite by accident, I was still a virgin.
For a lot of us, virginity is something you want to keep until you’re ready to give it away as a sort of special gift. For others, it’s a burden that just gets heavier with every year that goes by.
What’s virginity to you? Choice or burden?
