Well the whole phrase purity balls... taken at face value they're quite hilarious.ThirdPrizeYoureFired wrote:I think that being a virgin or not is a personal choice and I don't understand the point of either slut-shaming or virgin shaming. And while I do believe that people should choose when they want to engage in what sex act, I find saddlebacking to be absurd. Wanting to save a certain sex act for marriage/the right person or whatever, that's all well and good. Engaging in anal sex to preserve virginity... I don't see the point. It feels more like an unintended side effect of these virginity movements.
As for purity balls, I find those rather creepy.
But you are indeed right, the entire notion of formal dances dedicated to some outmoded and rather ugly form of virginal purity is just plain creepy. Just smacks of "yes daddy" type overtones, and not the fun consensual kind either.
