Question:
What defines virginity to you?

Choices:
vaginal intercourse
anything sexual (oral sex, handjobs, etc.)
making out
other

 

I'm not entirely sure how far a person can go while maintaining "virgin" status. However, I think that it's not necessarily a physical status, but more of a psychological one. Therefore, I think the action needs to be consentual for it to take someone's virginity.

Good question, it really has to do with how you veiw yourself.

I've heard of people who have been raped who still concider themselves virgins in a way.

So really it has nothing to do with what other people say, its how you view yourself, if you think that getting a hand job means you're no longer a "virgin" well thats your view and techncially you are not a virgin, atleast to yourself, which is the only thing that matters.

Remitrouble, welcome to YN. I just wanted to recommend to you not to give out personal information about you on the boards such as your email address. It seems you placed it on your signiture quote. I suggest that you remove it. It's really not safe or a good idea to post it. Thank you.

Well I'll just go with the dictionary on this one.

quote:

1 a : an unmarried woman devoted to religion b capitalized : VIRGO
2 a : an absolutely chaste young woman b : an unmarried girl or woman
3 capitalized : VIRGIN MARY
4 a : a person who has not had sexual intercourse b : a person who is inexperienced in a usually specified sphere of activity <a virgin in politics>
5 : a female animal that has never copulated

I have done sexual things with a couple other people, but I still consider myself a virgin as I have not had sexual intercourse with them.

You dunno what you think? lol

I dunno.

no one has any opinions on this?
