Should you still consider yourself a virgin if you were raped?

If you took a vow of abstinence to not have sex before marriage and somebody took away that right from you by rape do you still consider yourself a virgin and still have that vow of abstinence?

Hm...this is a good question. I think technically you would not be a virgin anymore if he penetrated you all the way. But mentally, and emotionally, yes you are still a virgin. Do not let a rapist take away your most sacred part of you.

did this happen to you??? I would consider myself a virgin because you are suposd to give your virginity away to someone you want to not some man who just takes it from you with out your consent. actually if this person has not penitrated you properly then you may still have your hymen intact which would mean that you would still teqnically be a virgin...hope you are ok xxx

no It did not happen to me I was just wondering thx

thank god for that. its a question a lot of girls ask so I hope I helped a bit.

I think that aslong as whom ever it happend to, didn't enjoy it, then they're still a virgin

I agree.

I think its all about personal choice to tell you the truth.
If the person wanted to still be considered a virgin, it would be neccesary and understandable.

It's not about personal choice...if you have intercourse, forced or not, you are not a virgin.
A virgin is someone who has never had intercourse...it doesn't matter if you wanted it or not.

okay if you get a baby your not a virgin anymore and if you have se yor not a virgin so you still have time 2 figure out.

As someone who has been raped at a very young age my answer is yes and no.

I call it two different types of virginity. The virginity that was stolen(being raped), and the virginity that I gave away (the first time I had sex of my own accord). Or I call it stolen virginity and MY virginity.

In western culture many say that virginity is having intercourse for the first time. But really, virginity is more of a spiritual attribute than a physical one.

It's always been a tough thing for me to deal with. Whenever someone asks 'what age did you lose your virginity' I always tell them when and why, and most people are shocked. Rape is too common and will only be stopped by people speaking out about it.

depends on how you view it, I would consider you still being a virgin because you were not an advocate of the behavior. :]

girl if you didnt have fun den you r..n if you know that guy that did that take him 2 jail because he iz not going 2 stop raping gurls..by da way thx 4 your advice that helped

this has happen to me at 14 I was raped and I consider myself to be a virgin even though I got pregnant by this and keep the baby I still consider myself to be a virgin becuase I did not lay down and open my legs for this man to come and have sex with me. If anyhting I would always say yes you are a virgin intill you lay on that bed and say come hear you can have sex with me or something like that but being forced to do it I dont think that is right for anyone to say you are not a virgin

hey whats up well I personaly think that if you have been raped you should consider your self a virgin because you werent the one that wanted it, it was forced.. You didnt know that this would happen things like this happen there just unexpected..! you still are a virgin because you didnt giv your self to the one you want to hope ma advice helped!! you can always fun mail me!!

okay I don't know if you religous but if you are you should probably ask god and tell him even though he already knows he want's you to tell him and you also should probably ask him to still be a virgin it sounds kind of weird but I think you should know what I mean!!

you were raped so yes your still a virgin till you give it to someone you love..not when your forced.

A GUEST SPEAKER THAT WENT TO MY SCHOOL HAD SAID THAT VIRGINITY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO GIVE AWAY...NO ONE CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU. SO IF YOU WERE RAPPED, TECHNICALLY YOU DIDNT GIVE IT AWAY. IT WAS TAKEN FROM YOU.

HOPE THIS HELPED.

no you are not a virgin anymore

yeah you are a virgin mentally because it wasnt your choice to have sex it was taken away by your rapist
x

if you were tied down, unconcious or something then no

technically your not but you didnt deside to give it up so I would still consier myself one

no you're not a virgin any more

when it happened to me I was 12 and she was 17. I froze when I realized what she was doing. all I could think was how disappointed my mother would be if she found out. I still havent told her or anybody in my family and I dont think im going to. it really just depends on what YOU think. I always thought you could only lose your virginity if you wanted to for it to really matter. there really isnt an answer to this question that you wont find inside you.

im christian and we beleive you can be a virgin again by asking god to help you forget and realizing it was not your fault.

Yes you're still a virgin. It's who you lose it to. Losing virginity to me means thatyou do it intentionally..

=)

Yes. I think you lose your virginity when YOU want to.

no your not a virgin, and thats the truth, its horrible what happened, but youve been tainted, honest an true
