Temptations & Ambitions

I was swimming across the blogs when I bumped again into one of Kok Sen Wai's post. It titled "Virginity sucks". The later content was all too familiar to me. I'd explained on why virginity was treasured long time ago. In this modern world's context, perhaps it is no longer an indicator of purity. It's an obsolete remark to say a female is a bitch because she's no virgin. I can name you hundreds of virgin bitches, if that's the case, more than the supply of the well-accustomed "Ayam Dara" food sold near my house. Don't mind me, it's just a hyperbole.

It happened around 6 years back when I had started an MSN group among my friends. One girl friend of mine had posted on the forum, whether virginity really does matter. I remembered being all heroic and "wise" to explain everything that I knew of. I'd emphasized that virginity does not matter if you really love the person for who she/he is, and not because he/she was deemed a second hand property. I meant well, or so I did.

5 months later, she was pregnant.

And she married her "Prince Charming" at the age of 17, despite her parents' objections. And me? I was still bottle-feeding. Why would we marry at such a young age?

And it was all because I mentioned that virginity does not matter. My "wise" decision. I forgot to emphasize on safe sex. And I felt the guilt up until now. It may not be entirely my fault, but I somehow felt that I was partially responsible.

Perhaps, that is why I had advocate for condoms usage anytime possible.

So, whenever someone asks you if virginity matters?

Just answer that virginity does not matter, as long as you practice safe sex.

And the girl? The last time I heard of her, She was going for a divorce.
Her son should be 5 by now.
