</span></b></div><div style="color: #1b1112; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"></div><span style="font-size: large;">For teens, it may seem like everyone is doing it but less than half of teens in high school (only 42% of girls and 43% of boys) have had sex. That means that <strong>more than half of all high school students are virgins</strong>. </span><br />

<div style="color: #1b1112; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stay Teen, organization created by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, writes that <b>even though movies and TV and gossip at school can make it seems like everyone is having sex</b> (or wants to), that’s not exactly true. <a href="http://www.stayteen.org/waiting">In a recent survey of guys ages 15-18:</a></span></div><ul style="color: #1b1112; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; padding-left: 20px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">75% said they’d rather "wait to lose their virginity with someone they love," compared to 24% who said they would prefer to "lose their virginity as soon as possible."</span></li>

What to expect, who it's going to be with, where it should be, and how should it be like. </span><br />
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Many of us have expectations for that moment. </b>Some of us hope to lose our virginity by a certain age or after having a relationship with a special person for a certain amount of time. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><a href="http://jenniferbowman.hubpages.com/hub/First-Time-Sex-With-Pix"><span style="font-size: large;">Preparing for first time sex, getting ready for the first time, and devoting time to understanding your emotions after you have sex for the first time are very important. </span></a></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Reading stories about how others lose their virginity may help you make better decisions. Having sex for the first time is a very personal and unique experience. However, reading other first time stories may help you make sense of your own experience. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">It can be therapeutic to share your story. It can be beneficial to read others. </span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or ethnicity - your experience is very valuable to humanity. Talk about your experience. Help us de-taboo virginity and virginity loss. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

(1) The author writes that, i<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">n the Middle Ages, virginity would have been an ideal to aspire to, but it was rarely achieved by commoners and nobles alike. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">However, women could still become born-again virgins: </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"The Church made it possible for women who not only had had sex, but who had mothered children, to confess their sins, perform years of penance and spend their remaining years in a convent. Women who chose this path renounced their so-called role in the “original sin” (of tempting Adam with the Fruit of Knowledge) and joined what was known as the Cult of the Virgin." </span></span><br />
<br />

I figured I would be a stranger to anyone I encountered, thus the experience would technically remain anonymous. I carried pens and a smile. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

This initial promotional experience was confirmation. A mix of responses accompanied my street promotions. Some people loved the idea, yet others shied away. Mothers lounging with their babies said they were not interested and young girls giggled amongst each other. Couples smiled awkwardly and groups of boys laughed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Not because he was good-looking, but because of his honesty. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Is face-to-face too confrontational? How can I make people – from all ages and sexual orientations - more comfortable talking about virginity? </span><o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div></div></div>LostMyV Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980453380962920995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48156134102594971.post-78267148804515364392011-08-06T10:47:00.000-07:002011-08-15T17:15:45.317-07:00Exposing Virginity<div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
