Website stirs debate on premarital sex
A 38-year-old single woman who claimed to be a virgin has sparked a heated online debate after she opened a website urging young women keep their virginity before marriage.
Tu Shiyou, a Hubei Province freelancer, dubbed herself as "Virgin Goddess" and spent 1,000 yuan to create the "virginity website" because she believed some young people have "distorted views" on sex.
Tu posted articles to share her experience of keeping her virginity for a long time and to teach readers the difference between a virgin and a non-virgin, urging them to resist premarital sex.
Tu even uploaded photos of her medical reports to prove that she is still a virgin.
"I set up the website because I succeeded to maintain my virginity," Tu told Shanghai Daily. "But many young people failed to do so. I saw them on TV or online news that some are living a tragic life because they didn't treasure their virginity."
The website used to have only about 30 visitors a day, but after it became known via Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, the site attracted so many visitors that its server crashed, Tu said.
A heated online discussion ensued as netizens presented their views on virginity.
"I'm just shocked and embarrassed to see a middle-aged woman showing off not wealth, not knowledge, not beauty, but virginity!" one Weibo blogger commented. "I don't know why people nowadays are still sticking to the old tradition that values virginity."
Some however supported the woman and asked young people to say no to premarital sex. "Young people who have tasted the forbidden fruit before marriage will also taste the bitterness later," said another netizen.
Others said that it is everyone's freedom to decide whether they should engage in sexual relationship.
