WOULD THERE BE HUMANITY?

It is an actuality that virginity is a conception that held momentum substance when it came to women only, more particularly in middle-of-the-road cultures like the Philippines. This matter has insignificant factor in men. The common connotation of a virgin is someone who has not had sex with a member of the opposite sex yet. This definition is dull and predetermined or either has a medical and physical enlightenment. Then . . . a woman with unbroken hymen was considered to be a virgin … is that the real definition? What if one distended and ripped her hymen due to accident or horseback riding? Would she be clearly and evidently considered no longer a virgin? The condition of woman’s hymen is the way by which one can substantiates that she had not sex with man (unless she lost it for some other reasons). Again, this barometer is not relevant to men. Pretending the penis is not a part of the sex tool, let say lesbian and woman having sexual relationship for so many years are they still virgins?

Now if you ask me. . . is VIRGINITY IMPORTANT? Yes! If you were born in 1880! I agree that to reject and detest somebody because she is not a virgin anymore is one dimensional. Virginity is not the barometer that gauges the wholeness of a woman. Voltaire said: “It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit that virginity would be thought a virtue and not the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge.”
Virginity is a matter of the past . . . Some lost it for bliss, or accidents; others were molested and most gave it for love. If you lost it for whatever reasons do not regret, it is not the end of the world but rather learn the lessons and face the emotional implications for personal growth and maturity. I advise people (men and women) to stay virgin until they are married. Sex is pleasurable and gratifying. Men see it as attestation of manhood and the claiming of power and control but that should not be the reasons to have it. If men can give love for sex would it be possible to reject or ignore sex for love? In women, losing it seemed like an indisputable lost of power and freedom. If women can say YES to give sex for love in exchange for their virginity, would it be right for them to say NO?. At one time or another, most of us were virgins. At the right time, for the right one we can let our virginity go. I believe that sex is a Divine gift from God. Can you just imagine if Adam and Eve opted to stay virgins? Would there be humanity?

If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins.
Exodus 22:16-17

AT THE RIGHT TIME. . . LIKE A DREAM. . PERFECTLY! ( A Reply to Nanding Castro's Comment)

Pre, salamat sa comment mo. Comments (good or bad) are imperative parts of my blogging. It shows that my write ups are read and my readers respond and react to my views on how I embark upon certain issues and topics that delight their interests. It intensifies gusto not only to bloggers but writers of all sorts to keep on writing. I believe God has given us all the necessary talents we need all we have to do is to develop it. Let say, I am a progeny of a great artist, the supposition or expectation would be the skill is in my genes. But even though that talent is from inheritable factors it could be lost unless I develop it. I would not be an artist if I have not expounded my talent in this field. My point is that, lahat naman ng bagay ay napag-aaralan at natutunan at kahit alam mo na ang isang bagay, kailangang mo pa ring i- practice ito... I took up Journalism as my elective subject in Mandaluyong High School (proud to be MHSian!). My enthusiasm for writing started all at this point. I know I am not that good in writing as what some people think, its just I really want to write and express my self by putting out my thoughts and opinions. I regret when I started working as an Artist I left writing in one corner. I thought being an Artist was much fulfilling, rewarding and exciting than thinking something else to jot down, but all I know both need the mastery of the frame of mind, brilliance of vision and sentiments. Art gave me my bread and butter but later broke my heart and my efforts were discredited by some people I was not able to hit their expectations and judgment. It is true that there are times you cannot make somebody’s day(Bad Boss From Hell ). The good thing in writing is that you can ignore disparagements because there are no physical confrontations among you and your critics. Blogging brought me to drawing board again, revived me and serves as my stress antidote.

I know you can be a good blogger too. Umpisahan mo na Pre' so you may uncover the hidden endowment within you. Blogging is a blend of concern and obligation. It is a chance of informing your readers what is new and factual, belief on certain issues or even sharing your fancies with them. Do not start it unless you are pretty sure you can keep it up for the sake of those who will read and benefit from it. Once started, it becomes a custom that is tough to break. Blogging just like any other skills or professions require practice. Practice will make these things yield to you at the right time . . . like a dream . . .PERFECTLY!
