The simple matter of whether or not you have had sexual intercourse is almost completely outside of the issue of purity. Is the victim of rape any less virtuous than her luckier peers?

Gee, maybe you should join us over at my sex, love, and marriage blog. <BR/><BR/>THANK YOU for pointing out that purity and virginity aren't the same freaking thing.
