Born Again Virgins

Here is a two page article about regaining your virginity if you wanted it back or needed to.

the reasons for restoration range from a ridiculous reason of renewal or rational to be rescued from radical religious revenge."to make my man happy" is disgusting and to save herself from an honor killing is terrifying.

Virginity as in the Old Testament was VERY important only because MEN wanted to be sure their first born is really theirs. That's it! Especially if it is a boy for inheritance, bloodlines, royalty, race......I think it also explains why having multiple wives was okay way back then. If the first wife was unable to produce a man-child their first try, then the master of the house would need another virgin wife and maybe more to make sure his first born son was really really his. It was also helpful for him in knowing he would not contract an STD.

This is why the religious are obsessed with sex & virginity even today. I find it amusing (not really) when Christians point out how backwards it is how Muslims treat their women. But they themselves push abstinence only so called sex education on our teenagers because they too proscribe to this archaic biblical form of birth control. Control not Prevention. Remember it was only recently as the 1920s were American women were allowed to vote, to be recognized as fully participating U.S. citizens. Believe you me, not because of reasons found in the bible. This happened because a few liberal Christian women and freethinkers of the time dared to speak up and made it happen.

And, am I correct in saying it appears it's just the women who must be chaste until marriage? If a man catches his wife "knowing" another man he may kill her or have her killed to protect his family's honor. The punishment does not fit the crime, like hell in eternity because one worshipped the wrong god. What about the dude she was with??

What is the biological evolutionary explanation for the hymen?The hymen is "leftover scrim in the spot where the separately forming external and internal vaginal organs join during gestation". Not a very sexy answer is it.

Another idea I found says it protects the uterus until the woman (girl) matures and is ready to reproduce. This can happen as early as 11 years old. This is only a "theory" but for you literal types out there it doesn't mean God invented the hymen. Back in the caveman days, 15 was middle age. So humans needed to breed earlier and often to guarantee the species survived.

I was surprised how little information there was out on the WWW when I googled Hymen. Most of the hits were opinions and some from Christians proclaiming that the Hymen disproves evolution. Tee Hee, silly people.

It’s only natural. The menstrual period means the female body is ready and the broken hymen means it was her first sexual encounter. Ta Da! This is how us mammals reproduce. Homo sapien females are not the only critters with a hymen.Humans can mate at any time all year round. Many mammals may not have a hymen because they have to go into heat before they can successfully mate.

Having no hymen does not necessarily mean she done it. A hymen can be broken in other ways and some girls are born without one. I wonder how many women have been killed or outcast (to become prostitutes) because this happened to them. Still do? Adultery is a so called sin; because again the male wants to be confident (as possible) all his children are really his. It became socially convenient for men when they figured it out and how they could use it for their benefit.

Hymen is the Greek God of Marriage. Again the Catholics stealing from the pagans.

Did Eve have a hymen? She, I mean Adam didn't need one? Kinda like the question, did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

I'm on a roll today
