Louder please!!! ππ The topic of keeping virginity or practicing sexual abstinence is one that circles back to it being a personal decision and determination.
When you tell a kid to abstain from a cookie jar, it only sparks more curiosity in the kid. I wish most Nigerian parents would be more open to having actual conversations with their kids once the kids get to certain age than imposing some fear or strict rules because eventually, what will be will be.
There are lot of girls in this world that don't care about things like sexual abstinence and they end up marrying well and there are some that keep it intact and marry wrong. And that's why the most important aspect of it is knowing why you're doing it. To get closer to God, to have mental clarity or to keep yourself and self-respect as a women. Keeping it for a man should not even be a reason at all.
Because at the end of the day, what the man is honoring is not the hymen, it's your self-respect.
