[Tami G.]

At 18 I decided I was ready to lose my virginity. At that time I figured it was better to have control over my first experience than to be raped or hurt by a first love situation. I discussed the matter with several male friends and a few denied my request. The young men valued my virginity more than I did. The adults in my life used scare tactics to deter me. Reasons given ranged from having a baby to vile photographs of venereal diseases to being called a slut. No one at that time explained the value of my womb. No one told me that the babies that would one day pass through my womb deserved it to be a place of honor. No one told me that keeping it to myself and sharing it only with my husband would bring me more self respect and strength. Not until I became a mother did I realize the stigma placed on the reproductive system. If I had been told that the vigina and penis were wonderful when used in the proper context, I may have valued it more. I would have waited, as a child does on Christmas to play with a new toy.
