The brilliant emails and stories that you send me are a constant joy. This is what makes The Virginity Project tick. It doesn’t happen everyday – sending your most intimate sexual stories to a stranger can be a daunting prospect, but when you do, the results are great.
‘Oh my story isn’t that interesting – you wouldn’t want to hear it’.
Not true. Everyone has a different perspective. Your experience is every bit as unique as the tips of your fingers. And lets face it; the moment itself isn’t always much to write home about. What makes the story great are the details. How did you get there? What was happening around you at the time – literally or metaphorically? Can you remember why you lost your virginity? Compared to what you might tell me now with the benefit of hindsight?
The telling of stories is a powerful experience. Whether on paper or by voice, re-living a watershed moment can be revealing. I promised myself I wouldn’t mention the word ‘cathartic’ but I can’t help it. How many times have I observed a look of relief on the faces of people who have chosen to tell me stories? Too many to mention.
Asides from anything, it can be fun. And a chance to express yourself. So, people of the world, if you get the urge, pick up your pens and create. If you would like some guidance, drop me a line and I’ll send you some starting points but here are a few more to get you going….
Is virginity ‘loss’ a physical or mental moment?
Can you describe this moment?
What does your story say about you?
Does the way we lose our virginity matter?
