Response to "Proud Virgins in College"

In regards to this article, I have a few words of my own.

Sex is a completely natural thing that married people, (and couples who decide they are ready) do for two things: to make love, and to make babies. There are also young adults who choose to partake in the act with multiple people. And there are people who, unfortunately, are forced into it at one point or another when they’re not ready. But of all these groups, no one should be judged for it.

My point is that no one has the right to judge. We are all in college, and we all do things that we may or may not regret later. I feel like Proud Virgins gives off a vibe that those who are waiting are better than those who didn’t. And maybe that wasn’t the intention of the writer, but it certainly seems that way. I’m here to say that no one should feel self-righteous. Though at the same time, they shouldn’t feel pressured from others to change their way either. If I were to say, “I’m going to wait until marriage,” then let me do that. There is no reason for anyone to take it upon themselves to change that.

Now the author mentioned that, “…it’s easy to feel embarrassed when talking about ‘going all the way.’” And to that I say, it shouldn’t be embarrassing. We all took sex ed in school, or maybe our parents awkwardly told us about birds and bees. Whichever way you learned, you should be knowledgeable about it. And you shouldn’t be worried about say it. Sex. It’s just a word. Just like drugs, alcohol, and penguins. It’s not something taboo. I mean really, look at 16 and Pregnant. But don’t take this as me saying, go out and try to be on the show. I’m just saying that people are aware of it. Sure, it’s not the 60′s, but you should be able to say it without someone covering their ears.
