Sunday night was the
premiere of “Virgin Diaries” on TLC. After seeing the commercials
for the show, I felt like I had to see for myself how this would play
out. One of the people featured was a 30-something year old guy who
was engaged to a 29-year-old woman. He was a virgin and she wasn't.
Their wedding night would be the first
time he's ever seen a woman naked. His wife was, in her words, “very
experienced.” Upon learning that he was a virgin, the bride's
friends and family were shown giving him words of “encouragement”
and advice. Awkwardly, the bride's mother was shown multiple times
joking about how her daughter would “rock his world” and whatnot.
Pretty much, all of the bride's friends and family made it seem like
being a virgin was weird and otherworldly.
(This awkward ass first kiss attracted me to at least watch the premiere episode. Lmao)
After watching the show feature
extremely introverted and socially awkward middle-aged virgins, I
wondered what was so fascinating about virgins. Simply having their
featured on a show is making a spectacle of them. While it's rare,
it's not a hard concept to grasp. Some people just never wanted to
actually do it, whether it was lack of opportunities, fear of the
pain associated with it (as a woman), fear of not being good at it,
religious purposes, or whatever other reasons. However, I do wonder
how it feels to make a lifetime commitment to someone without knowing
if you guys are sexually compatible.
Megan Good and her husband never had
sex before getting married, and I hope it works out for them.
However, me? Nope. If I decide to spend my life with you, sexual
compatibility matters. While I'm sure that over time couples can
learn each others' likes and dislikes, I want to make sure we are
well-prepared and vibing perfectly by the time our wedding night
arrives. I don't want to spend my wedding night being a tour guide.
I have nothing against virgins. I was
one once upon a time. Lol. But marrying one? I can't do it.
Do you agree or disagree?
