Virginity isn't real. It's a concept created by society, and for the most part, it's purpose shames women into feeling bad about having sex, and even sometimes, not having sex. It seems that no matter what women do, we are shamed for our decisions. We're prudes if we want to save ourselves, waiting for the right person, but then we're called sluts when we decide we want to have sex with whoever we want, whenever we want.
When it comes to virginity, and sex in general, the only opinion that matters, is your own. If you think you're ready, or if you decide you want to wait until you're married or in love, it all depends on what you personally feel comfortable with.
A woman should not be shamed if she decides she wants to have sex, and she shouldn't be made to feel like a bad person for embracing her sexuality, and taking charge of it. In fact, it's no one's business as to what she does in her life. However, she shouldn't be made to feel pressured into having sex with someone, for any reason.
The decision to have sex is hers and only hers. If a man can enjoy having sex to his pleasure, and not have to deal with the repercussions of being shamed for it, then us women should be able to enjoy the same things without the annoying double standard.
