Virginity; pride or lack of opportunity
A few days ago on twitter, the topic of virginity was discussed. So many people were interested in knowing how to determine a virgin, considering how rare it is to find girls who are still virgins. The only way to determine a virgin is the presence of the hymen. The hymen is a thin membrane that covers the opening of the girls' vagina and usually tears upon the first intercourse. Sexual intercourse is not the only activity that can tear the hymen, strenuous activities such as horse riding or gymnastics or even masturbation may also cause the hymen to rupture. I also read a book which explained the virginity test by looking at the vagina. By looking at the vagina of a virgin, you will notice that the vagina is oval in shape; its edges are not rough but smooth. Another book suggested that a doctor may determine this by inserting two fingers in the vagina.
People are of the idea that there are no virgins in Nigeria, and if there are, it's because they lacked the opportunity to engage in such activities. Back in the days, virginity was criteria to marriage, the family of the couple would wait outside the room of the bride and groom to inspect the bed sheet to ensure that the bride is a virgin. If she fails this test, she will be chased from her new home and will live in shame for the rest of her life. Today the topic of virginity is rather obsolete because our moral standards have dropped.
The matter of alum also came up that day. Alum is being used by ladies today to feign virginity so as to deceive their partner. A girl I knew, a very badt girl met a guy who wanted to marry a virgin, and as a sharp babe, she arranged alum to deceive him. He fell and married her -_-.
I personally believe that virginity is a thing of pride. If as a lady, you can restrain yourself from participating in such activities, then you must be a very principled person. The advantages of keeping your virginity are numerous. First of all, you have a clear conscience; you won't be scared at the end of the month or of venereal diseases. Secondly, it accords you respect from your partner and trust as well.
From my point of view, no man deserves your body until he pays your bride price, so be wise, avoid the stress, patience never killed anyone. If you are still a virgin, my advice to you is to keep it until you are truly ready, and if you are not, respect your body.
