Purity Balls
“The newly published results of a Congress-sponsored study on abstinence-only sex education prove once again the delusional power of faith over fact. Pushed by the religious right, the Federal government spent more than a billion dollars on public school abstinence programs, only to find out (Are you sitting down?) kids don’t listen… It’s the very same lesson, I’m afraid, being ignored in the rapid spread of purity balls… Purity balls are formal events — usually black tie for the fathers and gowns for the daughters. In elaborate and solemn ceremonies, the daughter signs a pledge to her father to stay a virgin until marriage. The father, in turn, pledges to defend her purity until he gives her away to her husband. Since the father’s pledge often includes the crossing of swords, it’s presumed he will patrol the ramparts with vigor. Many of the girls are in their teens, some in their 20s, some as young as 10…. As a psychologist, I see problems that go well beyond the futility of dismissing history and hormones. I know how closely a woman’s sexuality can be entwined with her relationship with her father — with both healthy and harmful results. So when that sexuality crosses wires with a personal pledge to dad to have sex on his timetable and by his rules, you don’t have to listen too hard to hear the crackling of conflicting and confusing emotions. That is especially true when the daughter fails to keep the pledge, which studies show that very few do.” — Huffington Post (US)
If you’re not brainwashed by abstinence propaganda, it is difficult to find the purity in a purity ball. If anything, there is something creepily incestuous about a formal occasion binding a woman’s hymen to her daddy’s will. Probably it provides some solace to the fathers, who never want to think of young goats banging on their daughters, but what does it do to a girl’s budding libido? Tie it up with daddy? Make it impossible for her to satisfy natural urges without deception and betrayal? Maybe she’ll delay fucking for a while, but the whole thing is a mindfuck.
Then again, the purity ball may well have a latent upside for the pervert. Are you into virgins? Forget all those porn sites offering you “first-time teens” and whatnot. Have a look at Generations of Light’s Purity Ball video. Now those damsels in white gowns are probably the real thing — if, that is, these are not the sort of girls who are saving their hymens but doing all manner of other things on the side. Haven’t you ever known one of those girls who won’t fuck but gives head like a vacuum? Or one of those girls who saves her hymen by proffering her ass? Have another look at the virgin damsels dancing with their dads, and you can be sure that their stymied libidos are causing a serious percentage of them to indulge in oral, anal, manual, and perhaps other non-genital acts as well. As a pervert, what’s not to love? These purity balls are veritable breeding grounds for perversion.
Hopelessly naive, more than a little creepy, and almost certain to generate the precise opposite effect intended, could “Purity Balls†be any more quintessentially Christian?
Something similar are the Father-Daughter Valentine’s Day dances helf around the country.
I wonder why this stuff is always Father-daughter? Why not mother-son? Perhaps a bit too oedipal?
What a lame effort by fundamentalist American Christians. Here we have “purity balls” and “signed pledges” while Sudanese Muslims simply carve their daughters’ clitorises and sew up their vaginas. Get with the program, Christian America! If you want to ensure purity and control, do it the right way and stop disappointing yourselves. Carve up her body and her mind! That there is what’s called a twofer.
Your tax dollars at work! Pushed by the religious right? Federal government spent more than a billion dollars? What happened to seperation of church and state? How many politicans lined their pockets with tax dollars on this program?
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. again the government is trying to regulate the mores of society….It’s a conspiracy I tell ya! Next they’ll be having barn purity balls for farm boys and their animals, and the ghetto hoods and their ho’s and…where does it end…
the concept of daddys little girl just got creepy.
