Everyone Was Talking About Sex On Virgin Diaries
Latest
So TLC’s one-hour special, Virgin Diaries, aired last night, and it was mesmerizing, intriguing, weird, sad and infuriating. Human beings have the right to make choices about what to do with their bodies. But man, it sure was cringe-inducingly awkward when Lisa, 30, told her blind date she was “still a virgin.” He was just some dude she’d never met before, and just trying to get to know, while a camera filmed the whole thing. Lisa: “Still a virgin!” Andrew’s eyes: “WTF SRSLY I FEEL SET UP.” On the one hand, she is to be commended for staying true to herself and informing guys about her expectations and desires up front. But, on the other hand, Lisa and her friends — one a virgin and the other a “reclaimed virgin” — have placed so much importance on sex that it literally defines them. It’s such a conversation-halter that the other important stuff — her sense of humor, her kindness, her non-relationship-oriented hopes and desires — might get overshadowed.
