Unscramble the Blue Letters
She finally decided that she wasn't a virgin aymorne after she'd had her first orgasm with a partner. And I touhght — whoa. What if just for a second we imagined that was the definition? Again, not because intercourse isn't a big deal — of course it is — but it isn't the only big deal, and rather than thinking about sex as a race to a goal, this hepls us reconceptualize it as a pool of experiences that include warmth, affection, arousal, dresie, touch, intimacy. And it's worth asking young people: who's really the more sexually erenciepxed person? The one who makes out with a partner for three hours and experiments with sensual toenisn and communication, or the one who gets wasted at a party and hooks up with a random in order to dump their "virginity" before they get to clgolee?

Original Text
She finally decided that she wasn't a virgin anymore after she'd had her first orgasm with a partner. And I thought — whoa. What if just for a second we imagined that was the definition? Again, not because intercourse isn't a big deal — of course it is — but it isn't the only big deal, and rather than thinking about sex as a race to a goal, this helps us reconceptualize it as a pool of experiences that include warmth, affection, arousal, desire, touch, intimacy. And it's worth asking young people: who's really the more sexually experienced person? The one who makes out with a partner for three hours and experiments with sensual tension and communication, or the one who gets wasted at a party and hooks up with a random in order to dump their "virginity" before they get to college?
