Why you shouldn’t compromise your virginity over societal pressure

If you work out at the gym, you will feel weaker the more you work out. But you are actually becoming stronger. It is the same with your virginity. If you keep your virginity as a youth, your friends will laugh at you, and you may feel ashamed. But you are getting purer, more attractive and valuable. 

Don’t worry about their jokes and taunts. They are trying to deceive you into losing your virginity. You can be like them in five minutes or less. But even if you give them five hundred million years, they can never be like you. There is nothing positive, redemptive or even desirable in having sexual intercourse before you marry or outside marriage.

Forget about the sexiness sold to you in music videos, Nollywood and #BBNaija. They mask lives of broken dreams and hidden pains of celebrities who cry themselves to sleep at night because they have ruined their lives with their heavy body counts. 

Then they wake up, put on makeup, dress up and continue the facade. You need oxygen, food, water, shelter and transport. But you don’t need sex. Keep your virginity until you marry, and thank me later.
