Purity Balls
I imagine the whole concept of virginity emanates from that same place in our minds that spawns all the wild superstitions, religious beliefs and various types of magical thinking that plague us to no end as a species. I suppose prior to the advent of paternity tests it did have a practical aspect, but nowadays it seems that it’s mainly used by parents and religious leaders to shame and stigmatize young women who don’t conform to some set of sexual mores. Most of these parents and religious leaders probably feel their behavior is justified because, after all, they’re saving young, pure, innocent women from sin, or the Devil, or giving birth to crack babies with SuperAIDS or whatever. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, it’s all part of God’s intricate plan.
