"I believe that if you didn't want to have sex and you were forced (even if he broke your hymen) then you are definitely still a virgin. "

A Reader Responds:

He Won't Consider Himself a Virgin

I'd be willing to bet your current boyfriend won't think he is when he's moved on to he next relationship. As for you, you know what happened, so don't be too picky about definitions.

Your Own Business

When it comes to anyone else, it depends on who you are trying to convince by making the proclomation that you're waiting until marraige. If you want to convince your friends or family so they'll think you're a "good girl", then tell them whatever you want. (Or nothing at all). It's none of their business anyway.

Pretending To Be a Virgin

If you're trying to convince a future husband that he's going to have a relationship with someone who has never explored her sexual feelings with someone, then he might have a different opinion even without the intercourse. If it matters to him, and if he ends up feeling deceived about the nature of your experience, then you're pretty much telling him that it's OK for him to deceive you about sex later.

Be Honest With Yourself

Rather than try to hide behind a definitive statement like "I am still a virgin," I think you'd better be honest about what happened with anyone who matters. They'll have to decide for themself about how it will affect your relationship. Part of a mature relationship is accepting that your partner will make up their own mind about your actions.
