Hello! I'm one of many lurkers who enjoy reading what you write, and (for once) I'm actually going to comment.
And sometimes that means you let someone take out your pretty things, play with them a little while, and then you take them back, you put them back between your legs, and you say, this was a mistake and I'm moving along now
I love the points you made throughout this piece. A woman's body is her own, and she is the one who should decide what, where, when and how things get done to it. Women, nowadays, seem to idolize their virginity until it becomes the central turning point in their lives when, seriously, there are a lot of other things that are just as "special". A woman should not define herself by what's between her legs, or demean herself because her "gift" has been taken and she can never get it back again. Like you said, it's not something you give away, but something you take out every once in a while, and put back when it's done, all the while remaining in complete control of your body.
*gets off her soapbox* There were other points I wanted to mention, but I can't seem to remember them now *sheepish grin* Thanks for writing this, I really enjoyed reading it!
