A Return to Virginity

I ask this a lot, so what is one more time… What is wrong with this world? Why do women think men only will be interested in them if they are 5’9” weighing in at 98 lbs. Now this also includes bra cup size C and a “ghetto butte”. I am not sure how one gets this, but then again maybe silicone weighs less than fat. Women tend to believe that men will not want us unless we are quite free in giving all kinds of “pleasures”. She is also expected to be as sex-crazed as he is.

To reinforce the body shape and figure we have the marketing people at EVERY marketing company in the world! Everyone knows one of the first rules of marketing is that SEX SELLS EVERYTHING. Go ahead and tell me when the last time an ugly person sold a product? If this were true then they would not have make-up and hair designers to “fix” the person looking into the camera. Even baby products… those are never the children that “only a mother could love”. We also have the clothing designers that make clothing that make even stick figures look obese! So what chance does a 200 lb girl like me have? I guess I am not getting the guys that way!

Believe it or not there are pressures out there for ALL women in secular society to be a bit freer than she would otherwise be comfortable with. Sometimes it feels like an after school special. These situations really do happen… “Come on baby, if you loved me you would do this for me!” And then she is trapped! Of course her 15 year-old mind thinks that this feeling is “love” however, she is sadly mistaken. Then after a bit both parties move on to the next person. But why do women need to degrade her to the status of a blow-up doll? Is she just there to become a toy for the latest guy that will have her? Here is where self-knowledge and dignity come into play. I am sure if she was more confident then she could and would say NO.

So what happens? After a bit she realizes she has totally messed everything up and she turns away, or she gives in. Hopefully she has chosen to turn to something better. Now as we all know, she can never truly regain all that was lost. Once innocents are lost, it is gone. However, there is hope! We can have what is called Spiritual Virginity or is simply the idea that we are restored spiritually to the point of our innocents. How wonderful! It is not as easy as just asking for forgiveness. We have to work, with God’s Grace, to restore our mind, souls, and spirits back to a right way of thinking. This could be considered a “return to modesty.”

Here is an article by Christopher West on this topic. The topic is not exact; however, it does cover the topic at hand about restoring virginity.
