Most English girls lose their virginity by the age of 16. Is that a
good thing? Is female virginity still praised as it was in earlier
times? What's the point of it anyhow? Does it matter? The author
reviews the attitudes to female virginity, discussing the behaviour
of both the ancient and the modern. He suggests that the
present-day approach to an early, if not casual, surrender by woman
of her virginity is open to abuse and that modern woman - and
indeed society - might profit by a more restrained approach to
underage sex. Amongst the matters considered by the author are
religious attitudes to virginity and the increasingly popular
debate concerning infibulations and excisions of the clitoris. The
ravages of feminist fire have burnt out the virginity of British
young girls. It is time for it to be reborn, phoenix-like.
Is there a particular English attitude to sex? What makes it? Is it
good? Is it bad? How has it changed? And what of the future? When
it comes to our sexual instincts, much more than in any other field
of human activity, the importance of our psychological heritage is
paramount. This book suggests that there is both confusion and
constraint, aggravated by grey skies and a rapidly developing
multiracial society - compounded by an uneven historical, cultural,
religious and educational background. Richard Goodall reviews
English sexual trends from the 17th century to the first decade of
the third millennium, citing the most recent statistical data. The
reader will be surprised by some of his conclusions.
