About This Quote
This quote not only expresses the idea that virginity is not a virtue, but that it is actually the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge. It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit to think that the act of sex is even more sacred than knowledge. The human spirit has not changed much over time and people continue to think in terms of old-fashioned morals. Sex was once considered taboo by society, but now it is something that people are forced into because of society’s idea of what is wrong or right. However, once you have had sex you are no longer ignorant, you have taken the first step to knowledge.
