It may or may not be related to the concept of the [were-virgin](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=12895377#post12895377) ---

The problem is sex outside of love will damage our hearts, beyond our ability to repair it ourself. That damage will grow the more you operate outside of love. The forgiveness the Lord offers includes restoration of that damage, so the Lord does ‘revirginize’ people, heal the damage and renew our heart. The damage is seen as any shame or guilt felt in relationship with sex. The revirgining done as expressed by the OP doesn’t solve the underlying problem of guilt and shame if a revirgin does have sex, done by the Lord and the guilt and shame is gone. ---

That damage will grow the more you operate outside of love. The forgiveness the Lord offers includes restoration of that damage, so the Lord does ‘revirginize’ people, heal the damage and renew our heart. Umm… yeah. So how about sex outside of love but within _really, really like_? Does that also damage the heart? Need answer fast. ---

And often times they have nothing to do with the topic. ---

So do any places combine the two types of virginization–both religious and physiological? Also, does anyone remember a comedy movie, fairly recent, where two girls agreed to become virgins by merely agreeing to say they were? ---

I can’t believe no one has mentioned yet the episode of Night Court where there was a revirginator machine that worked by turning any adult that walked into it back into a child. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/revirginization/553389.md?page=1)
