Ahh, virginity. Or, more importantly, the loss thereof. While most guys are so eager to rid themselves of the pesky thing – heaven knows that, had the internet existed back in my salad days, I would’ve made sure that there were entire web sites dedicated to the awesomeness of my ascension to manhood – our culture has conditioned ladies to be guarded and almost reverential about conjugating the verb for the first time, and perhaps rightly so. After all, becoming a woman is a delicate and wondrous thing, something any girl would only share with her most trusted confidants and friends. Oh, right, and maybe her dad. Yikes.

Yeesh. I honestly don’t know what the takeaway is for a fathers like me who have daughters: do I forbid her from ever going on a high school class trip, or would I be better served to never allow her to own a cell phone so I don’t have to hear about what happened?
