Having mixed feelings, but thanks for posting. I know somebody going through a very hard time right now who would feel comforted by this.
I did too. I'm not too fond of the bit of treating your vag like an altar, however, the points made about being a bit smarter about how to handle everything revolving around and including sex is something more women need to do. There's a lot of different angles to this and it really makes you think, tbh.

That. Hence the mixed feelings. But in this case it acts like a mental protection and her self ego boost when down in the pits, so no harm done.

True. I think the biggest issue with treating your lady bits as some prize ends up leading to disappointment in the long haul. Should you be selective in who you sleep with and make sure he's not some douche before doing so? Sure. But to act like it's some sacred gift leaves you open for some serious disappointment. If things happen to go south, whether for skeezy reasons, like mentioned in the video, or just as a natural turn of events (non compatibility), the woman is caught up in this emotional cluster fuck of "HOW DARE YOU. I GAVE YOU MY SACRED VAGINA AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED?? BLASPHEMY."

It creates false expectations because a lot of guys don't view sex like that, nor do they view your lady bits as a prize to be worshipped as women are believed to expect. Also, because of this mindset it misleads women into assuming the deal is sealed because she gave it up. In reality, this is now how things work, sorry. Just more perpetuating of women thinking that sex means she has the guy locked down into commitment or he'll want a relationship with her.

I mean look at the dysfunction this mindset creates for the religious types who have it drilled into their heads that waiting til marriage is THE thing to do because omgherd sacred act!!

They do. Some actually reside here on DXP.

I'm just not a fan of having to restrict oneself from sex because of the worry that you'll be deemed less of a person or feel shitty about yourself for doing so. Yeah, there are a lot of troll guys who will do their best to work their way into your pants, but as this video points out, you just need to be smart about it and be aware of what you could be walking into when you go there. No, it does not guarantee that the dude will "put a ring on it," however, know that there's a chance that he could be one of those dudes. Just pay attention to his actions and behavior and it can be pretty apparent in what his intentions really are. Don't be afraid to have fun, just be smart about it.

Nobody should make you feel bad for doing something you enjoy. ...just don't be wreckless about it is all, you know?
