Elizabeth Smart on how abstinence education contributed to her victimhood
Ugh. I remember similar stuff from the freak-ass church: nonmarried sex is baaaaaad, because then you won't have the "gift of purity" to offer your spouse. (They actually were pretty hardline about the same standards applying to men, so it wasn't just the idea of a woman's spoiled purity. So, uh, points to them for their broad-based messed-up thinking.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Shit. I gave away my gift of purity more than 30 years ago in my parents' Mercury Marquis.
It's funny, but I was considering remaining a virgin until I got married, but once presented with the opportunity for sex, I forgot all about that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ha, my attitude was that virginity was roughly akin to admitting you didn't know how to ride a bike. The sooner you got riding the better you'd get at it.
This philosophy actually served me pretty well.
eta: To clarify, I don't think there's anything shameful about virginity. I just didn't think there was anything admirable about it either.

Thinking of Monica from Friends talking about her "flower" and Rachel saying if she kept calling it that nobody would want it.

Kids are weird (changing the topic from virginity for the moment). Kid 1 - I'm going to the store, you may have to close your eyes when I get back. Kid 2 - You need to have [list of ingredients] in the house before Sunday.
At least I know they haven't forgotten Mother's Day?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I make no pretense to knowing the stats, but virginity and bad in bed (or not knowing how to make your partner come their brains out don't *have* to be causal. Let's work to dissociate them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm going to have to stick with the notion that practicing your skills improves them. If you're going to hit that 10,000 hour threshold it's better to get started.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Urgh, cramps in my left leg. Dunno why.
