Restored Virginity?

Great Debates

      • Uh, , , this is from a dusty corner of my brain, and don’t ask me how it got there, , , but I seem to recall an old custom among Japanese (or maybe another nearby ethnic group) women, of repairing the hymen by using a piece of catgut and some stitches. The idea was (as has been mentioned) to bleed for the first time of doing the deed with a (any?) particular fellow. Ouch. - MC

I get it for the third world cultures thing, for reasons sufficiently covered. but any woman in the civilized world who wanted to have this operation would have to be a complete dingbat. who the hell wants their virginity back? as Sex and the City (what is or should be every modern female’s personal oracle on all things sexual) puts it, it was bad enough the first time!

I saw an episode of “Happy Days” the other day. The Fonz had a list of certain attributes for the woman he was going to marry. One of those attributes was: “that she was untouched.”

I’m guessing this kind of thinking was acceptible back then, what, only 30 years ago? That “culture” is not really so far off.

Secretly, I think men will always value virginity. It’s just that in this day, most men can’t find it, so they must compromise.

So she’s not a virgin, no problem. What if she was a whore? At which degree is it acceptible?

I see it as a power struggle. The battle of the sexes goes on. And no one ever wins.

Dr Lao:

Those tests already exist. They did so before the surgery existed, as a matter of fact.

I freely admit that I’m far from an expert on those cultures. Quite honestly, I was being a smartass. But even while there are cultures that highly prize virginity, there are also (I would guess) a number of young women who prick their wrists and smear it on the sheets to keep everything copascetic. And I agree that there are any number of ways that a young woman may break her hymen (is it just me, or does that look odd to anyone else?), and that retention of same doesn’t prove a thing, thereby making moot any concern that others may have.

And on this we are in complete agreement.
