  • Here's a neat thought: as sexuality evolves, you can #GAIN #virginities, as new acts/partners take on meaning & import. #rethinkingvirginity #
  • #Rethinkingvirginity asks: Why do we talk of "losing" virginity"? Who pays it so little attention? Possibly better: #change "#letgo, #drop #
  • #RethinkingVirginity points out: US has only 2 options of sex-ed. "Abstinence Only" & "Comprehensive." Should be called "#Abstinence #Plus " #
  • But the idea that if you teach anything beyond abstinence you're providing "comprehensive" information is bullshit. #RethinkingVirginity #
  • There should #always be room for #abstinence as a #choice #never #enforcement of it as a #norm #RethinkingVirginity #
  • Why is #abstinence couched in the #negative Either sex is bad, or from the other side abstinence itself is. Strange. #RethinkingVirginity #
  • "It's a fallacy to think that given an abundance of information young people will get confused" #Youth have brains too! #RethinkingVirginity #
