“The no brainer to me is if you wish to prevent this type of cancer the best way is abstinence.”

Bernie, a woman can still get it from her husband, even if she was a virgin. The vaccine is still a better choice.

I remember a talk given by one of the speakers they had in who described virginity (and this talk *was* aimed at both boys and girls) as like a big, fancy necklace...each jewel representing one of the things you'd never done with somebody else: kissed, held hands, etc etc up to sex, which was the big diamond in the center of the necklace. This necklace was the gift you were supposed to give to your future spouse on your wedding day--and of course, you wouldn't want to give them a shabby gift with few or no jewels on it, right? Right?

The no brainer to me is if you wish to prevent this type of cancer the best way is abstinence.

So that means they must be valuable *for* something, right? For example, you can sell them for presumably a useful amount of money, which makes it sound like they are trying to tie some weird virginity-until-prostitution/marriage knot. But then diamonds are also useful for grinding the daylights out of something. I think I just sprained my brain. Hmm, well the thing about diamonds is that they’re supposed to be valuable.
