Virgin! So?

"Miss, are you still a virgin?"

Okay! I almost choked. I was infront of 28 people ranting about life and it's complexities (blame it on the inaccessible shared drive the assigned modules for today were left unturned) when out of nowhere, one of my trainees just asked that question. (You see, left with nothing to do but wait, I told the class they can ask me ANYthing they can think of without even considering that queries like that might just be blurted out!) So there, I was flabbergasted!

"Yes!" I chimed with so much conviction. I didnt expect that my answer can trigger the rowdy class into a 10 - second silence.

Then they all chorused, "Seriously?" Everyone looked genuinely appalled!

I told the class of my stand on the whole thing and most of them cringed. But hey, dear readers, don't get me wrong. I'm not a Saint nor am I Maria Clara. I also had my fair share of kissing (torrid, smack and what have you), necking, petting and all that jazz. I may not be sexually and pornographically hyperactive but I'm also not innocent. It's just that when it comes to the real penetration, I believe I should be given more than a round of applause and a standing oviation because really - I'm frigid! I mean I practice hardcore self - restraint. Why? I know this will make you laugh your hearts out but there are only two reasons. First, I'm so scared of getting hurt. I mean the physical pain when the hymen becomes busted. I have a low threshold for pain plus seeing blood (all the gory stories about one's first time) come out of my queen "V" due to incessant thrusting might cause me a coronary. Second, I dont wanna get pregnant. Simple. I fear so much of having a bun in the oven that I dont trust all the contraceptives in the world. Yes, I am insane! (thunderous laughter please!)

So what is it then with remaining a virgin for 26 years that surprises people? Perhaps they are amazed with the idea that a cynic like me who loves to bitch around is sooo freakin scared of the schlong. Or perhaps, the norms and morals of society has definitely morphed that people these days have perceived all mankind to be horny. Perhaps... Perhaps... Perhaps... And I can go on and on and on. Hehe!

Based on observation, when a girl talks about her disinclination to premarital sex, it causes a subtle hormonal reaction within the male brain that prohibits him to call, flirt, or start a relationship with the initiating persona. Trust me, Ive been there and it's sooo frustrating to come face to face with the reality that most men are highly libidinous they would want to jump into bed with you on the first date.Urgh! But then again, I'm smarter than they think. Haha. They can raise their eyebrows and dump me because of that, I dont care. You see, one thing is certain to me: My worth as a woman is far more than a piece of tissue in between my labia!
