This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

IMO the worst thing about being a virgin is that it's forbidden to have sex, at least according to your caring parents, teachers, and social context. It's more about breaking the nonsensical rules than actually about having sex, at least that's how it was for me.

it's forbidden to have sex

Yep. I grew up in upper class britain and it's sad how here too that was somehow, without ever explicitly being said, drilled into me.

Edit: nobody ever told me that sex was bad, but that's the view I took away for some reason?

i think it's less explicitly "sex is bad" and more "virginity is holy", making people feel like sex is bad
