Months ago, when I was watching television, I saw this talk show discussing about a subject that caught my point of interest. It was about virginity.
What is virginity? Virginity means being in the state of virgin. Virgin is attribute to males and females who have no experience about sex, or if they have, there is absence of penetration. In simpler term, a virgin is innocent about the SEX-y world. I wondered why they were arguing about the matter. During that time, I thought that such topic must be tackled inside the house not on television. But as time passed by, I came to realize that the show's main goal was to open the minds of many about different issues especially with virginity.
Is virginity important? It has been a Filipino tradition that a woman must be a virgin until she marries. It is expected as a precious and sacred gift to her husband because it symbolizes purity. My mom once said that it is better to marry a woman who is virgin than a woman who is not. Others also think it is unacceptable not to be a virgin before getting married and they consider the person as a disgusting one. Others also said that it will affect their social standing in the society. I myself asked a girl of her opinion about a matter and for her, losing virginity is like losing a big part of her as a person. Does she mean that it is a must that everyone must be virgins before getting married? Not really. She only told us that it is a must that one should think before deciding to give it away and it is a must be at the right time with the right person.
But as time goes by, that idea in my mind suddenly changed in a certain way. I realized that it is still important but if it happens already it's okay. What's most important is that we have to face the world with confident and with perseverance to correct whatever mistakes we had done in the past.
How about virginity in a relationship? Well, of course, it still depends if the person you gave your virginity to is the person you're involved with at present. If this is the case,maybe you are brought to do this act because you love each other so much. Yet, if it was with a different person, in my opinion, it doesn't matter as long as she would be honest with me right from the start. In fact, I would even admire such bravery to confide much sensitive and personal thing. I would accept her for whatever had happened. After all, it is her past.
Does it affect anything? Does virginity destroy any relationships? Not really. For anyone who is contrast with my point of view, come to think of it, open up your mind. If you are really in LOVE, would you let it affect your relationship? Would you not accept the person for what she has done? And if the person may have regrets, wouldn't you be glad she overcame such traumatic experience because you have given her your love?
As long as love, respect, trust and honesty are in a relationship, nothing can break it apart.
