How to Lose Your Virginity

In this highly personal and entertaining meditation, Therese Shechter takes aim at the issue of virginity in Western civilization. With the help of women activists and anatomy, she tries to liberate it from historically conditional religious connotations and gender stereotypes that have kept the myth of virginity in the general consciousness.
The senseless importance placed on this social construct is demonstrated through by “purity balls” at which American girls surrender their virginity to the father, who “guards” it until the arrival of their groom. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
