In addition to the fact that the idea of 'saving yourself until marriage' is a religious idea and many areas of our country are on the fast track to breaking away from those more traditional ideas, feminism is also in full swing. Why is there such an emphasis on females to 'save' their virginity? There's a strong backlash against the image of the virgin girl in her innocent and pure white wedding dress. Personally, I find it quite empowering that I can be in charge of my own sexuality and can make my own decisions about what kinds of pleasures I want to indulge in (be it a shopping spree or having sex with my boyfriend). I am not 'unclean' because I will not be a virgin when I get married. I'm not hurting anyone - including myself. People are just beginning to realize that sex can be safe and an enjoyable activity. No girl should feel used and dirty just because she has sex before marriage... does anyone ever view a guy in the same light?
