That's correct Jordache,
and person who has never been in an accident, had never been in an accident
Until....
they get into an accident
the results are not easily swept under the rug
when one wishes to go to work the next day and theiur car is obviously in a wreck
the perpetrator initiating the accident is held acountable by police and the insurance companies
and thereby repercussions have resulted
even if both parties choose to "try" to ignore it

We have medical definitions of things. We have legal definitions of things. We have scriptural definitions of things. They are what they are, but we need to remember that knowledge + compassion = wisdom in certain situations.
When something like rape happens to a woman or man (don't think it doesn't happen), they deal with it as well as they can, hopefully with God's help. However someone chooses to describe the status of their sexual purity to others (and I'm wondering why that would ever be anyone else's business, except for medical personnel or a prospective spouse), the thing that matters is that they are perfectly honest with themselves and a prospective spouse about it, so that prospective spouse can make an informed life long decision. Being honest with oneself, one's spouse and the Lord leads to healing. Few things can damage a relationship more than deception.

Since this thread was started in the context of rape, I am referring to situations well outside of rape. When someone does something legitimately wrong (ie one night stand driven by nothing but animalistic impulse or bastardized romantic feeling) and takes great strides in avoiding responsibility or identification as a sinner.
It is my firm opinion that nobody asks for a rape and that those responsible for it are deserving of the death penalty.

Too much is made of physical perfection.
People LOVE physical perfection.
Saul, the first king of Israel, stood a head higher than everyone else. (People loved that)
And you should see Satan; man ....that guy was beautiful, and so smart, and man could he play!
Get over your love affair with the hymen! ("Oh, she's a virgin!")
Utter judging on outward circumstance.
The church doesn't do that.

That would be a difficult issue for a man set on marrying a virgin. If I had been dating a girl in that situation, the fact that 'two shall be one flesh' and the issues related to how the situation would have been resolved in the Old Testament would have been on my mind.
If someone chooses not to marry a person over past sexual trauma, it's their right to make that decision. It would be awful to make that decision. But I think it would not dissuade many men who hold sexual purity in high regard these days.
