What a world.

This blog post.
This one right here?
It's about sex.

Disclaimer: My opinions, my views. You don't have to agree with me.

And now that you're paying attention, I'll begin. 
I was watching Say Yes to the Dress on TLC  (I'm a fan of wedding dresses. Oh, look at this irony that's about to happen.), and I saw an advertisement for a new show called "The Virgin Diaries." That preview lasted all of two minutes, but it was enough to get me angry.
It portrayed these people as completely awkward, weird, strange losers. Because they'd chosen to not have sex before they were married.

Now I am plenty weird, strange, and awkward. But none of that has anything to do with the fact that I am a virgin.
Could our society be any more self destructive? Why would this show make sense to anyone? With so many children in America in orphanages, with such a high rate of abortion, and with my state being number one in STDs and teen pregnancy, why in the WORLD would anybody be endorsing a television show that turns a sure-fire way to avoid all of those things into a joke?

If everyone is telling everyone else that virginity is something embarrassing and something to be ashamed of, how can there be any hope?
Virginity isn't like getting your hair cut, or buying a new pair of shoes. It's a serious thing. And the media makes into something everyone's racing to get rid of.
My favorite show, Glee, lost serious cool points with me because of how they treated sex. Sex is not a right of passage, it's supposed to be an expression of love and commitment between two people.

Okay, to address a myth that this "Virgin Diaries" show seems to be expounding upon. Just because a person is a virgin, that does not at all mean that that person isn't a sexual person. Virgins aren't a seperate "breed" of person that cringe at all mention of anything over a PG-rating or think of the opposite sex as something scary. God made humans as sexual beings.
For a reason.
Not so we can run around sleeping with whoever we happen to want to, but so we can enjoy sex with our future spouses. Y'all know this, right?

So, for all the people reading this that still have it: Don't apologize for that fact. Don't be looking for ways to get rid of it. Be proud of yourself. Save your virginity for somebody who deserves it.

This isn't supposed to be a post hating on people that have sex. I'm not anybody's mama, nor am I anyone's judge. I can only speak for myself.

And that was me, speaking for myself.
