This is precious: so-called “born-again virgins.” Isn’t that sort of like closing the bottle after letting the genie out, or would that be letting the genie in? Back in the 90’s there was a religious program of “born-again virgins” where they pledged before God to abstain from sex anymore before they were married. At least this new version is a bit saner. It seems that couples are resisting the temptation for weeks or months before they get married. Toby Harnden thinks it might so that the man gets the illusion (well if he has crap long-term memory) that his wife-to-be is “pure”. This is something I never really understood; I mean, its not like the wife-to-be is to be sacrificed.
Now one could be cynical, and say that is plot by the woman involved to concentrate the mind of her hubby to be on the task at hand. The woman involved would have to be pretty secure in her abilities for this trick to work. And furthermore, if the bloke is not getting his leg-over at all after getting it over some, would he not be more succeptable to the temptations found on most stag-nights? Surely if the bloke is all worn out from lots of shagging he would be less tempted?
Toby goes onto wonder about the rules of dating in the US. I still don’t understand them (who calls whom, when, etc.; what a load of bollocks. What idiot wrote the damn rules anyway?). He pines for the simpler UK version. Meet someone, take them out, add several pints/glasses/bottles and see what happens (repeat at will until success or boredom).
