I may not look back fondly on the first time I had sex, but I can’t imagine having to go through it again for a second time. I would actually prefer the surgery that makes you forget the people you’ve had sex with, rather than the actual proof it happened. It would have to be something like the movie Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

The New York Times ran a story about how some Muslim women have started having surgery in order to restore their virginity.

The process is called hymenoplasty. Basically, it gives the illusion that the woman is still a virgin by restoring a woman’s hymen, which breaks during sex.

In many cultures the idea of women having sex before marriage is unheard of. But we don’t see men hurrying off to the doctor’s office to strip away any evidence that they’ve been around the block. The pressure for women to appear ‘pure, and virgin-like’ has become so great women are paying $2,900 for the process.

$2,900!!!

If I had to choose between having a $2,900 surgery and not getting married: I’d take the $2,900 and go on a cruise.

If worst came to worst, I’d go to the nearest magic store and grab a cup of fake blood. A little dab here and there and – poof! Problem solved.

If the male world is so concerned about women’s hymen they should promote hymen/virginity insurance. A lot of things can happen down there, and I can think of a lot of women who wouldn’t mind free, hymen insurance. H.M.O. and all medical specialists should jump on this hymen insurance bandwagon and put an end to insanely priced hymen surgeries.

Hymen Insurance for everyone!!!
