32/Virginities

 

 

Main Index®Index Volume 3 ® Bibliography 32


 

Compiler’s Notes:

 

In GUS Vol. 2 chapter 6 I questioned the equation of virginity and heterosexual peno-vaginal coitus. Obviously this is a curious social convention. The aspects are legio: virginity complexes, virgin/whore binaries, virgin cleansing myths, virginity tests, hymen cults, hymen repair, and so on.

 

Note: This bibliography may be updated monthly.
