Type of virginity

i. Primary virginity: This is also known as physical or natural virginity. Here the person has never had sex. In women, the visible evidence of this type of virginity is the bleeding that occurs during first intercourse, though not in all cases because sex is not the only way through which a woman’s hymen is broken. It is actually the breaking of this hymen at first intercourse that causes the bleeding. If a woman, therefore, does not bleed at her first intercourse, it does not necessarily mean that she is not a virgin. A girl’s hymen, according to Bruce and Carol Britten (Answer .for your marriage, 2001) may break without sex during school sports, or when she uses menstrual tampon (a French word for an absorbent plug of cotton wool inserted into the vagina during menstruation). In fact some girls are said to be born without hymen. ii. Secondary Virginity: - Secondary virginity otherwise known as moral virginity is different from primary virginity in the sense that physically the person is not a virgin because he or she has had sex at least once, either freely by choice or forcefully through sexual abuse. If the person decides to say no to premarital sex and maintains it after the loss of his or her virginity, he or she embraces secondary virginity. This type of virginity is also known as spiritual virginity. ‘It depicts,’ in the words of Kenneth Onyeme, ‘a repentant and purified person’.... **My Advice** [Its better for you (ladies) not to lie to your partners in other to drag him to the alter with "No marriage no Sex" if you are not a virgin so that a happy relationship won't turn out to be an unhappy marriage. Let him know the truth, he will stay if he truly love you but it might hurt if he finds out later. Its not virginity that men marry but character]. AGREE??????
