“Detail of a miniature of men killing a unicorn as it lies in the lap of a virgin. “

I think there is something in that for everyone.

I wonder where the concept of virginity = purity came from.. the silly idea that once you had sex you had somehow become sullied and impure..

Virginal is a marketing gurus wet dream, when you can wrap a product around the notion of purity you’re half way there, take the Pure Blond ad with the pristine forrest and youg beautiful maidens in white(virginal) robes walking around, everything is marketing we’ll have iVirgins soon, make no mistake.

Haven’t heard that terminology in years Rule! Don’t we call them STDs or something now? And I love the language in this forum. Sullied. Impure. And they were from Droppy.

I think ‘STI’ is the preferred term nowadays.

Yes, I did see that recently. I presume that replaces Disease with Infection. Don’t we have diseases any more?

The term STI may relate to things such as chlamydia et al which can be asymptomatic. If you had symptoms, it’d be an STD….IDRK.

STI are the letters directly after the letters WRX on the back of a good car.
