Virginity

Talking about sex, though much more common place in contemporary culture than it has been in the past, it is still considered something uncomfortable or akward at best. However, the subject of adult virginity I would argue is probably the most taboo.

The idea of 'saving yourself' or abstinence before marriage is quite uncommon in pop-culture. Perhaps because the institution of marriage is today being challenged by young people, we are less interested in the conventions that once surrounded the ceremony of union as prescribed by religious and cultural traditions.

The reason I am talking about this subject is because despite the modern ideas surrounding virginity, a number of my close friends do indeed ascribe to the idea of 'no sex before marriage'. In fact, two ladies (and their two friends) whom I hold very dear to my heart, have started a blog about virginity - it is called Confession of a 29 Year Old Virgin. In the first two days of releasing their blog, they received 650 hits, which speaks to how popular and curious people are about the circumstances of adult virginity.

Yes my friends believe strongly in the Christian faith, which I personally know would repel many from hearing their stories, but please don't let their spiritual beliefs deter you from their courageous nature and brave approach to sharing their adventures, stories and thoughts.

If ever I need to laugh, feel joy, be loved or believe in the good of the world, these are the ladies I turn to. Their hearts are so filled with good, that it is impossible not to be positively affected by it in their presence. Plus, all are amazing story tellers (especially Danielle!).

I encourage you to check out their blog and to see for yourself what your opinions are on adult virginity. See what negative (or positive) ideas you have around the subject and determine if you believe adult virginity is something that people choose or that just happens for whatever reason. Either way, I know you will enjoy reading Confessions of a 29 Year Old Virgin.
