There are some truly crap-tastic products out there for women to ?improve? their genitals. Today I saw an ad for a rub-on cream that will tighten up a loose vagina.� It?s called ?Virgin-Again.? And it ain?t cheap.First off, I?m sure it doesn?t work. And secondly, virginity is much overrated. And a slippery term to begin with. Is it a state of mind, or a state of hymen? A girl whose hymen tears in gymnastics class is a virgin, but is a dyke who has had lots of sex but whose hymen is mostly intact? I don?t think so. So it?s a state of mind.Remember when Princess-to-be Di had to get her virginity medically confirmed? Virginity is all about men- either ensuring that any babies made are theirs, or just to get an ego stroke from being the first.For a lot of people with vaginas, that first fuck is more pain than pleasure. And most of us get a lot better at sex through experience. So what?s so great about being a virgin? All it is is a state of inexperience.If you want to tighten up, do some Kegels. Stronger PC muscles won?t just make a snugger fit for your man, but they?ll make your own orgasms be stronger. As for being a virgin again, forget it--be proud of your experience--it?s made you who you are today.
