VIRGINITY IS NOT DEAD !
I vehimentanly disagree with the facts and figures presented now and then,showing increased loss of premarital virginity!
These may have been the results from a small section of society from a small area,but the sentiments expressed are not the views held by the Indian population in general
I would rather say that there hasn’t been any significant change in the virginity status of the youngsters in the recent years,if it hasn’t increased from yester years!
Virginity,though always considered to be a middle class issue,has had and has its followers,in significant numbers
Being modern does not mean disregarding virginity!
The youth today is liberated,independent,experimental and adventurous,but the values have not vanished.
In fact the education has given them more discretion and a sence of responsibility,not to the society,or the family but to themselves and the partners,and not to forget the health awareness and the scare of AIDS.
Loosing virginity,in fact has nothing to do with socio economic status,education or opportunity
Even the young,smart,rich and independent youth,with all opportunities,don’t seem to be in a hurry to loose their virginity,they wait for their life partners,and when they do decide on one,then they don’t mind waiting till the wedding rings!!
PS -The data may be skewed as many reply casually ,as bragging of loosing virginity is the in-thing!!!!!( if I can add without sounding contradictory)
