virginity and virginity loss  

Definición

  • In William Faulkner's 1929 novel The Sound and the Fury, Quentin Compson is shocked to hear his father declare that men “invented” virginity and that it matters more to men than women. In fact, scholarly research in the Western context indicates that virginity is socially created and deeply gendered. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; ViRginity and Virginity loss]
