She had her hymen re-sewn, technically making her a virgin again.

Technically, no it doesn't.

[TommyDale]

Why would they bother to do this, when the camels aren’t required to do so?

[SittinYonder]

technically making her a virgin again.

I think "technically" is the wrong word here.

[Red Badger]

I wonder, do they have anoplasty for gay guys?.......

[The Blitherer]

"I wanted to reconstruct part of my life, to reconstruct myself so that I could feel better about myself."

I thought having unfettered sex with multiple partners was supposed to make women feel better about themselves. That's what the feminists taught me.

Sort of like that old line about the guy in Tijuana

Hey Meester!
Want to meet my Seester?
Virgin many times over!

[martin_fierro]

I had a rhinoplasty.

Got my rhino back.

[CindyDawg]

So... they are starting their marriage with a lie....

Reminds me of a statement by a famous Hollywood Producer who said he used to know Doris Day before she became a virgin.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

There is a familiar ring to all these stories - i.e. they were “pressured” to have sex, they only did it “once”, it was only with “one ex-boyfriend”.

Is it just me, or do all these stories seem just a bit too conveeeenient?

[paddles]

Reminds me of a quote from an old Hollywood-type about Doris Day; “I knew her before she became a virgin.”

[SittinYonder]

technically making her a virgin again.
I think "technically" is the wrong word here.

Upon further reflection, I've decided maybe "virgin" isn't the right word here. I think maybe "fool" would substitute accurately ... as in "a fool and her money are soon parted."

[Cvengr]

Don't trust them.

The same outpatient surgery clinic has a warehouse of these things behind its alley. They simply tell you to sleep it off after surgery. That's when the others take over as substitutes.

[sgtbono2002]

Its a lot like putting a new paint job on a used car.

In this case repainting a taxi cab, or a worn out police cruiser.

[FormerLib]

Wait a second, they’re getting a hymenoplasty because of a growing sense of religion?

I thought Islam favored clitorectomies for women?

[umgud]

technically theoretically making her a virgin again.

[beeber]

Do-it-yourself virgins.

How much thread to make 72?

[technomage]

Gee, what does Allah think??
