Re: What counts as sex?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-26 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much this. I don't get the point of insisting that only certain sexual acts count as losing your virginity, yet at the same time, I must acknowledge that different sex acts have different implications re: pregnancy and disease transmission. When it comes to STDs, if someone says they're a virgin, it's worth asking for clarification lest they mean "virgin" in some technical, penis-in-vagina-only sense and may have contracted an infection they are blithely ignorant of because they didn't think they needed to use protection or get tested.

There's also the subject of basic experience. For example, I don't consider myself a virgin because I've had vaginal and oral sex, but I've never had anal sex and the fact that I am an anal "virgin" would be something worth mentioning if anal sex ever came up because I have no first-hand experience of what it feels like and only theoretical knowledge of what to do.

Tl;dr: There are different types of virginity and these are not without meaning, yet I agree that thinking of virginity in terms of purity is both meaningless and harmful.
