Hi every one on steemit, let me start by laying emphasis on the meaning of virginity. Many believe that virginity is a physical thing,phycological or spiritual.
A virgin is a girl or a woman who as never had sex or sexual intercourse with the member of the opposite sex yet. However a virgin can also be described as a women who as never has penis been inserted into her Vagina or a woman with an intact hymen is therefor considered to be a virgin. In a broader sense the present of an intact hymen is seen as an evidence of virginity.
Consequently let me explain the meaning of an hymen, the hymen is a membrane, part of the vulva, which partially cover the entrance to the Vagina which is often physically torn when the woman first engaged in sexual intercourse.however in some woman the hymen is either absent from birth or sufficiently vestigial not to be affected by sexual penetration. There are some ways that can lead to the breaking of an hymen even without the penetration of penis or a woman engaged in sexual intercourse for example during over strenuous exercise or the insertion of tampon(this is an absorbent inserted into the vagina during menstruation). Moreover, the hymen in some woman are very elastic and will allow penetration without bleeding.
Spiritually, some women are regarded as virgin irrespective of there past sexual experience they are refer to as "born again virgin". This appen when there is conversion of soul from sin to holiness and accepting Christ as his or her lord and personal saviour.
In the strictest term u are a virgin until u have had sexual intercourse with the member of the opposite sex. Although there is no obvious physical characteristics of determined virginity in male child except through sexual experience or the huge to have sex.
Therefore it is important to remain as a virgin before marriage, because a woman who lost her virginity before marriage she is almost doomed and dishonoured. It is highly decent and honoured for a woman who kept her self in a state of virginity before getting married.
In those days were virginity is highly honoured,the Holy bible (ref: 2 samuel 13:1-20) presents the story of a princess and a pretty virgin name Tamar, who lost her virginity through incest to her brother Amnon,who raped her. After she had been deflowered. She was very worried and disturbed, she painted her self with ashes because of shame . My advise to today's youth is tell them that virginity is very honoured don't make it cheap.
Thank you.......
