I have never really understood what the big deal was about virginity girls" virginity and sexuality don"t belong to them. Recent studies have shown that teens who take virginity pledges are actually more likely to have oral and anal sex. If you want to attach young women"s worth to their virginity, you can"t be surprised when they follow suit and attah all their worth to their sexuality. There"s a special emphasis placed on younger women. One conservative christian groups concluding that having sex before you"re 18 makes you more likely to be poor and divorced.
