Too damn bad. We've thrown off the Burka and its not going back on

But now I'm watching this documentary, Virgin Tales, and it's awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Why are there girls there as young as 8, 9 years old? The men involved in this purity ball are creepy. The people in the documentary seem so paranoid that they can't think straight. It's God this and God that, but nothing substantial, imo.
Like many things in evangelical subculture, purity balls are weird and sanctimonious, and I'm a 32-year-old virgin Christian myself.

Lightbulb How Do You Feel About Purity Balls?

I feel they're closely related to Nut Balls.

Why are there no "Purity Balls" for boys?

Mamas could dress em up like Ken Dolls on Prom night and vow to protect their sons' virginity.

Who would be happy having sex with only one person for the rest of their life?

On the site selling rings there were boys rings, but there were no boys at the ball pledging their v on the docu I watched.

I think it's creepy to put it in impressionable kids heads that sex is somehow 'impure'.

The sequel to The Stepford Wives...The Stepford Daughters. Vey creepy. Are lobotomies or clitorectomies next? They would probably be more effective.
