I can't wrap my head about the news that women are having plastic surgery to restore their hymens so they can "lose their virginity" again.
When Jeanette Yarborough decided to give her husband a gift for their seventeenth wedding anniversary she wanted it to be special. Really special. She decided that conventional treats such as Mediterranean cruises, gold watches, cars, a murder-mystery weekend, or even a boob job just weren’t going to cut it. She gave him something much more personal — and painful. Her virginity.Well, sort of. Mrs Yarborough paid $5,000 (£2,860) to a cosmetic surgeon to stitch her hymen back together so she could “lose her virginity” all over again and her husband would have that thrilling conquest at the grand age of 40.
He did, and after that very expensive moment the ecstatic couple spent a passionate Valentine’s weekend last year having the kind of sex that they had almost forgotten about. Now they are busy telling family, friends and strangers that it is the best money they ever spent and everyone should do it.
Far more than breast augmentations or face lifts, a decision to have this kind of surgery involves some serious psychological components that are hard to even categorize. Lost innocence? Recaptured youth, of the most intimate kind? Regret over past actions? "Closure" for past abuse? It's hard for me to figure it out. Are there female readers out there who can comment on whether or not they'd ever do this, or why it might be desirable to someone?
$5000 to waste in 3 seconds? No thanks. You might as well flush the $$ down the toilet.
Or spend it on therapy, which would probably be more useful.
I'd say that this is worse, and apparently fairly common.
I've never understood the desire for plastic surgery outside of people who have deformaties. This is beyond belief. She's been married to this man for 17 years. He obviously knows she's not a virgin. Is she compensating for the fact that he did not know her as a virgin?
This gives new meaning to "Like a Virgin". Like one, but not really.
