I'm not the embarrassing teacher who butts in to deliver unasked-for sex ed. I just get concerned when I see someone asking a question that implies they think virginity can grow back.

That does seem like a severe misunderstanding of biology and the idea of virginity.

It shouldn't be embarrassing anyway. It is just biology after all.

Few people look at it that way.

[Her first thought is that someone severely misrepresented the purported benefits of Kegel exercises, but the truth is probably worse than that.

She gives Bryce a skeptical look, with (limited) sympathy.

Seriously?]

[She shrugs in return. It's instinct to correct these things, okay, she spent a lot of time in places where people didn't have free access to information as easily.]

[They could/should/would acknowledge virginity as a social construct, but lo and behold, May wants to have this conversation even less than all the other conversations she doesn't want to have.

Bryce, she does not think your instinctive response would be warmly received.]

[Probably not, but she has to try, gdi. She's a doctor!

So it's a good thing they're not having this conversation, then.]

Virginity is a completely unnecessary and outdated concept. Putting value on some leftover tissue and whether or not it's come in contact with a cock is utterly ridiculous.

That being said, I know a very interesting book....

[She pinches the bridge of her nose.]

To be accurate, neither the penis nor the vagina is strictly necessary.

[Ahem.]

The same can be said for most things that actually qualify as fun.

[She'll play along. She crosses her arms and offers River a smirk.] Why do I get the feeling you have a list?

Sex, sweets, graffiti, sharing obscure trivia at dinner parties....

Graffiti? Really?

What, you don't think that counts?

I mean, sure, there was that one ti- hang on, no, two times where I did it to pass on important information, but does that really disqualify the times I did it for kicks?

What, never heard of a were-virgin? I got bitten by a abstinence pledger under a full moon, an' now once a month I get all shy an' stammery around girls like it was my first time bein' around one all over again.

Dangerous stuff, but I try to carry on an' live my life anyway.

And you're an example to us all, sir.

Hey, I'm no hero; just a guy trying to do his best one day at a time.

[He's SO glad he could keep a straight face for all that. Hey, if he made it this far why not push his luck?] Say, you're a scientist, right? If you was really interested, I suppose I could offer myself up as a test subject for virgocanthropin' studies. Maybe somethin' to discuss over dinner sometime?

[What can he say, she's got a cute smile. He sure wouldn't mind seeing it a few more times.]

Dinner isn't exactly a sterile lab environment.

That mean you're suggestin' dinner in a sterile lab environment? What the hell, could be fun.
