Virginity
But there is more to it than mere escape. There is an undeniable appeal in virginity, something that eludes the resentful feminist’s contemptuous label of “prude.” A virgin woman is an unattainable object of desire, and it is precisely her unattainability that increases her desirability.
Feminism has told a lie in defense of its own promiscuity, namely, that there is no sexual power to be found in virginity.
On the contrary, virgin sexuality has extraordinary and unusual power.
There’s no second-guessing a virgin’s motives: her strength comes from a source beyond her transitory whims.
It is sexuality dedicated to hope, to the future, to marital love, to children and to God. Her virginity is, at the same time, a statement of her mature independence from men.
It allows a woman to become a whole person in her own right, without needing a man either to revolt against or to complete what she lacks.
It is very simple, really: no matter how wonderful, charming, handsome, intelligent, thoughtful, rich or persuasive he is, he simply cannot have her. A virgin is perfectly unpossessable.
I sincerely hope that virginity will not be a lifetime project for me. Quite the contrary, my subversive commitment to virginity serves as preparation for another commitment, for loving one man completely and exclusively.
