OVARYaction v. Virginity
from OVARYaction Hosted by Ovary Action
This week on OVARYaction, Kira and Alexandria discuss virginity. The hosts never exactly determine what exactly "losing your virginity" means, but parse through many of the ways that people, the media, and tradition define virginity (and rage about all the problems with those characterizations). Lastly, remember folks, that sex is not skydiving.
