Vagina Monologues

I borrowed a home video from my cousin last week so I could do something else other than texting. I’m trying to conserve my prepaid credits until the end of the month. I don’t wanna spend more money on a damned prepaid card. So much for prepaid cards, it was Alicia Silverstone starring in the movie entitled Clueless. Yeah, I know it was a high school flick what, like 3 years ago. I don’t care. I haven’t even seen the movie. So off I went to the living room, switched the DVD player on, and played the disc.

The movie was going pretty good, with all the amusing fancy clothes they’re wearing, the bags of chips I was eating, and all the beer I was drinking. Then there was this one part that totally reminded me of a male friend. In this scene, Tai and Cher were talking and one of Tai’s lines really caught my attention.

“Like why am I even listening to you to begin with? You’re a virgin who can’t drive…”

It sounded like being a female virgin at age 16 in the States was a bad thing. But yeah, it is a bad thing for a male to be still a virgin at 16. Hullo!!! Like what’s the high school prom for? Dancing? I don’t think so. Then I remember one of my friends who had always been the butt of every joke whenever we talk about sex and stuff like that. He’s still a virgin at 18. Funny, I think. But for most of the other guys, it’s pathetic.

Once, I wondered what it felt like to be in his shoes. The guys talked about what positions they’d tried with their partners, how each position felt, and what felt best at which position. Sheesh, it was really weird. I was having this feeling of total icky-ness. I didn’t know what they were talking about. Yes, I knew it was about THAT but I was zero-experience on this. And I would go like, “Can we talk about something else? I’m getting way too out-of-place here.”

Then I tried to argue my way out of it instead of trying to change the topic. I’d go like, “Hullo!!! I know sex is something, a big thing actually, but it’s not everything. I have my academics, my sport, my social life, my friends, and my family. Why should I go nuts over something that I’ve never experienced for like, 18 years and still survive? Oh, and if you say sex is part of one’s social life, I’ll have a partial social life then.”

It was hard, but I did it. I realized being a virgin is kind of like, a social challenge.

Luckily, I’m not like my friend. I’m not a perpetual virgin.
