virginity

Believe it ot not...this happened while I was a Junior in High School. I was walking down the hallway between classes with a group of my friends (girls). One of them asked the group in general if anyone was a virgin. Being a good Catholic girl, I immediately thought of the Virgin Mary and loudy exclaimed for all to hear, "Of course not, I am not a virgin!". (I was stunned that anyone would think they were as good and holy as the Virgin Mary).

Well, everyone laughed hysterically including the two teachers who turned around to look to see who made that statement and smiled (knowing that I was naive and did not know what I was saying).

My friends, when they stopped laughing hysterically, clued me in....Then, my face got red and I was glad when the bell between classes finally rang and I could escape everyone in the hall who were laughing! Needless to say, I never responded so boldly again to any questions about which I knew nothing!

Until I was 12 I used to think that virginity was a religion. I was brought up in a very religious house hold; every Sunday I was in church. I didn't fully understand the title "Virgin Mary". In church they made it sould like it was a miracle that she was a virgin and still had Jesus. I thought that it was because you couldn't have a baby that was a different religion than you, being Jesus was a Jew and Mary was a Virgin... when I was 12 my friend set me straight.

I used to believe that when you "popped a cherry" an actual cherry popped out.

I used to think that being "sexually active" meant you had gone through puberty and were menstruating and able to have children. When I was 15 I read an article in Cosmogirl that said if you were sexually active you should start seeing a gyno, so I told my mom, "I should see a gyno now since I'm sexually active." That was a fun and briefly awkward conversation while she figured out what I meant.

I used to believe that virgins were an organized reliougous group who chose not to have sex.

When i was about six i was singing along to "like a virgin" by Maddona, and i looked at my mum and dad and said "look, thats what i am isnt it mum?!"

Mum and Dad looked at each other horrified at having such a worldly six year old, and mum managed to splutter "what do you mean?!"

I looked at them like they were stupid, and replied "like a THIRD YEAR...im in class 3 at school!!!!!"

having been brought up in a christian home, i was taught songs about the virgin Mary... when i asked my mum what a virgin was, she said it was someone who had never slept with someone else. I was about six at the time so i didnt know by 'sleep' she meant having sex, i though she literally meant sleep, so for like three years i was convinced i wasnt a virgin coz i had slept in the same bed as my sister lots of times

I used to think that virginity was an astrological sign like being an Aries or Gemini. This was because I was watching Hocus Pocus and they were making a big deal that only virgins could light the black flame candle.

When i was younger (about 12) I thought that "virgin" was a starsign (I was confusing it with "virgo") One day I was with my friend when her brother thought it would be funny to talk about sex. He asked if I was a virgin and I looked confused and said "No, im not! I heard they're the worst kind of people"

I come from a catholic family, so they always talked about the Virgin Mary and I thought virgin was part of her name so if anybody would've asked me if I was a virgin I would've probably said no.

I was probably 7 when I heard the words virgin pina colada. I had always thought that when you drink one of those you became a virgin and couldnt have any kids. I stopped believing that when i was 16. Now Im 20!

When I was little, the whole "Purity Ring" trend really got popular, where girls would wear a ring to symbolize that they were going to remain virgins until they got married. I used to think that "losing your virginity" meant your ring had fallen off and you misplaced it.

when i was 7 i was told that if a car was rained on, it wasn't a virgin. well i thought the same went fo people. later in 6th grade some friends were talking about virginity. i proudly said that i wasn't a virgin. many questions and some explaining came next.

k

i used to think a virgin was a type of nun because of the 'Virgin Mary' being religous!!!

First time other kids said to me, "are you a virgin?", I only knew of virgins from the megastores and the record label. And maybe the virgin mary, but didn't get the significance. So of course I said "no"...

Oh, and not knowing what "Virginia" was, so wondered why anyone was selling tobacco called "golden vagina". Oops.

i used to believe that virginity was a disease that you cured by letting a boy touch u for a few minutes

When I was 13 we asked a girl at school if she was a Virgin, her reply was no I'm a pisces?? I wish I had asked her what virgos were!

when i was younger i thought that a virgin was some kind of religion. (virgin mary and whatnot) so one day i was at the boys and girls club with these girls i was "friends" with at the time and they were talking about whos a virgin and whos not, (mind you this is about 4th grade) and i said "im not a virgin!" and they started laughing at me and i couldnt understand why. eventually i found out what a virgin was and couldnt beleive id said that.
