Selling your virginity

The weather is so nice, everything's turning green. I had to come inside and watch TV for a bit before the cats think we're never gonna bum around under a roof again.

So, that girl that's selling her virginity is on. Everyone's speaking for her, she hasn't said a word, and I'm probably about to do the same. I'm more fascinating with the whole idea of virginity. It's the one thing we're all expected to do at one point, it's in a way a step towards becoming an adult. I suspect not everyone's first time turned out the way they wanted or expected. That's the thing about our bodies, they don't always react the way we think, there's mechanisms in us which we can't quite control. And it's that control that can be hard to give up.

As far as making someone pay for your virginity, you're only a virgin once, and that experiance should be mainly yours. You're not only selling your body, you're selling part of yourself and you're denying yourself that experiance. Fast money I suspect is the thing she's looking for, but what will the price be long term? How will she tell her daughters when they start dating to stay chaste? "No darling, you should wait until someone pays a million dollars for it"

I don't know, I don't want to be judgemental and a prude, but it just doesn't ryhme well. You should get something more than money for your virginity and for your body in general. Don't become only a virgin or a sexobject. Become a person with needs and wishes, and feel powerful enough to choose who you want to share that with. Sharing it with noone is too few, sharing it with everyone makes you a sellout. For everytime you let your body be enjoyed by someone you don't know, they walk away with a part of you you can't afford to be without.

Now sharing it with someone you love and respect and loves and respects you back is heaven. And there's no highest number of how many you can love in a lifetime.
