How Iranian Brides Trick Their Husbands On Their Wedding Nights Into Thinking They're Still Virgins (4191 hits)
There are some countries in the world where you can be killed for losing your virginity before marriage.
In some parts of Southern Iran, for example, the more conservative sections of society insist on virginal brides; as a consequence, there are many newly-wed women driven to suicide after being publicly "outed" as non-virgins by their husbands on their wedding nights, because they didn't bleed after s*x.
Despite the fact that there are many non-s*xual ways for a woman to wear away this ******l corona (as a hymen is more properly referred to), like bike-riding, gymnastics or tampon-use, the belief persists in many cultures that a lack of blood after s*x means that a woman is not a virgin. Even if the woman has been s*xually active, it may not have been willingly, and some women fear abuse or retribution simply for suffering rape. True double jeopardy.
So what would you do if your life depended on being a virgin?
Since hymen reconstruction surgery is expensive, potentially dangerous, and could be discovered by the woman's family, many women in this situation are now reportedly turning to a ******l suppository that can help you fake your virginity.
One pack, costing about £72, contains two pills: one for the night before the wedding, one for the night itself. This is because the suppository works at different speeds for different people, and so the bride-to-be needs to perform a test-run.
The salesman explained:
"It's not really a pill, but a suppository. You insert it two or three centimetres into the cervix of the womb, 30 minutes to one hour before intercourse. The membrane around the suppository absorbs moisture, and, after being heated up by the body's temperature, discharges the plasma."
When Mahrokh asked him whether he thought helping women to lie was ethical, he said, "Look, there are girls who have lost their virginity out of negligence, without having done anything really immoral. Or they have lost it because they simply made a bad choice. Sometimes people call me and pour out their hearts; many of them lost their virginity because they were looking for self-gratification. They have the right to live, too. A couple of times, people have called because they fell down or were engaged in heavy sports and broke their hymen
"You think it's wrong to help women when their lives and safety are threatened? I am completely at peace with myself. I help people to be hopeful about their future. I help them so that they are not tortured and judged, so they can overcome depression and isolation and live a normal life."
The interviewer asks if it wouldn't be better to bring up the next generation to be more understanding, to encourage in them the view that women should have the same s*xual liberty as men. Again, the salesman is confident in his response:
"Please ma'am, let it go. While you're changing the culture, a few generations will have been destroyed. Go see the mayhem that surgeons and gynecologists have to deal with to restore hymens. It's a racket and some have made a fortune, charging helpless families enormous amounts of money, who are forced to pay for it under pressure and through borrowing money."
But a woman who invests in the "virginity suppository" runs many risks: perhaps, for example, the man will not try to have s*x when the woman expects him to. As Dr. Sima Rezazadeh, a US-based Iranian obstetrician specializing in gynecology, pointed out to Mahrokh, a s*xually experienced man is likely to be able to tell the difference – despite the company's claims. Dr. Rezazadeh worries that this product will be "abused by certain people to ruin chastity, honesty, and innocence". Yet her suggestion that women should simply pick a more understanding fiancé is not feasible for women who don't get to make this crucial choice.
First let me tell you that I LOVE You. You give of yourself for good cause. Now, the virgin on the bike/jitney was actually a man! If I told you his name he may get embarrassed so let's just say he rode a Jitney bike!!!!!!!!!!
