Chapter Six

The Virginity Excuse and Other Modes for Opting Out of Hookup Culture (Sort of)

It’s a boost to your ego to take somebody’s virginity.

—SOPHOMORE MAN AT A SECULAR UNIVERSITY

I think a lot of my friends had had sex, and I was like,

well, I don’t want to be the only one. So I just won’t talk

about it. If they bring it up, I’ll make up something.

—JUNIOR WOMAN AT A SECULAR UNIVERSITY

I think vaginal intercourse is when you’ve lost your

virginity. I don’t think oral sex takes away your virginity,

or anal sex, or kissing. Even if you’re naked together in

bed I don’t think that takes away your virginity.

—FIRST-YEAR STUDENT AT AN EVANGELICAL COLLEGE
