QUOTE(mlothepimp @ Oct 21 2007, 09:01 PM)  Nope I think it's a good word. A pure person, as some say. Ditto.

I've never thought of virgin as a dirty word.
 So what if it relates to sex? *shrug* But yeah, I understand the ad and everything.

No, definitely not. O_o I know way more virgins than non-virgins. A lot of them are proud to be virgins.

I guess they mean that being a 'virgin' is seen as a bad thing...?

^ (To Kaycee) yeah thats what I said, but i guess people skipped over it. Ya know how like some teens are pressured to have sex because "everyone else is doing it", well I guess they're trying to say its like not a bad thing.

nope its a normal word.
But people tend to stay away from using it, because talking about anything related to sex out loud, in public its kind of "off limits" |

Ah, got it. Feeling very slow today. Forgive, forgive.
This reminds me of an exercise my friend told me about when he took Sex-Ed. They had two seniors from this Christian high school came in; one was a cheerleader, the other this tough-looking African-American, and the students had to guess whether they were actual virgins or "born-again virgins". They said they were both virgins, but uh, nobody believed the cheerleader.

I interpreted that billboard to mean that the word virgin may be considored dirtier than, say, a non-virgin and that by teaching children about it's meaning are persuading them to abstain.
That made sense in my head. Eheh. |

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't think so. I say freely I am one.
People are so ashamed of being a virgin. When I hear that a guy is a virgin and or girl, I respect them in someway. |
