What acts constitutes sex and how do you lose your virginityFollow

If you consider zero to be "about as much" as a very small amount, then I suppose so.

Men, or Women? For a man losing his virginity I believe it's societies perception that just sticking his **** in another humans hole is losing his virginity. You can argue that then Oral sex would be sex, and indeed in some states (such as North Dakota) Oral Sex is indeed enough of a sexual act that it would qualify. For a woman, again societies perception is that she is no longer a virgin when her hymen breaks. That poses more questions. Does it only count if its from sexual penetration? If she is forcibly raped? What if she is old enough that her hymen has broken on her own (AKA having your period, since you dont get a period until there is a tear in the hymen). What if the woman in question is above 30 and her hymen has naturally deteriorated? Or if she has had any uteran surgery where they had to remove it? Does that mean she lost it to a scalpel?

Can women become virgins again through science? They've replaced hymens on women so that their new husband/lover/etc can get that 'first time' feeling. So do they lose it twice?

**** of vaginal sex

Perhaps. But we're much more deeply tied to the reproductive act than we are to ball-peen hammers. Are there cultures without a concept of virginity? I don't know the answer but I'd guess not.

How would that even work?

You forgot Armand.

Of course there's a slew of problems associated with abstinence-only education, particularly in that not only does it not work, but it raises the rate of teenage pregnancies and the spread of STDs (they're less likely to use a condom).

The fact that it doesn't change the average age at which kids first have sex by more than a year is unimportant in the face of those larger problems.
